Netflix’s single most popular anything from January and June 2023 was a recent thriller series called The Night Agent, which was streamed for 812 million hours globally.
Saved you a click.
And The Night Agent was a fantastic show. You should go watch it.
Was it? It was fine -- that thing you throw on because you've watched most of everything else that fills that kind of derivative political action conspiracy thriller. Not particularly intelligent, not particularly funny, a loose enough plot that you can be paying attention once every 5 minutes and get by. Some folks get shot. There's a conspiracy ooooOOOOoooh.
Maybe that's what defines good these days, when content is just a glut of mediocrity.
I was shocked it was up top the list in terms of 'quality,' but I watched it because, it was there... So, I guess that explains it?
The Recruit (similar vein) was a superior show in terms of quality. Recommend that if you need a quick fix.
AAA quality is wanting these days. I just got done watching Rebel Moon. Apparently a $166m budget movie. Completely devoid of anything resembling a story or characters.
Ehh, it really wasn't. But I also couldn't get into Squid Game either. I'm sure they are fine, but nothing I haven't seen plenty of times over.
