I assume the metric for success is simply a ratio of operating cost versus viewership. Seems pretty obviously like all other television networks, but what’s the ratio?
Does that count too for tentpole or award bait properties, though?
He’s obviously delusional.
These idiots don’t want just success, they expect all their shows to reach Stranger Things or Squid Game levels of success.
What really determines that a show is successful anyway? They should be looking into that instead of just saying bullshit like this.

What’s the oniony bit here?
Netflix has metrics for success. They cancel shows that don’t meet them, and don’t cancel shows that do.

That’s cool Ted. I’ve never told anyone to watch Netflix because all the shows I like get cancelled. They already know about the 5 popular ones.

I canceled Netflix because they canceled so many unsuccessful shows that I thought were pretty good

Can’t cancel a successful show if you cancel everything before it has a chance to become one!

Funny that it’s on the AV club, which came from the onion.

MST3K?
Fans funded the whole 13th season on their own after funding a lot of 11 so that Netflix could pick it up, throttle the 12th season, then drop it
vlsdo says
Sure, if you define success as not having been cancelled, his statement is correct

His ass is sucking wind.

If Netflix wasn’t free courtesy of Comcast, I’d have cancelled that shiz a long time ago.
