In this episode of the Moviepilot podcast Streamgesturm we are looking for answers. In the (spoiler-free) episode Let’s first define the “Netflix look“, which series like One Piece, Sandman and The Witcher have in common. We give examples and compare them with the competition from other streaming services and channels. Do Netflix series really all look the same and is that different for Disney+ and Co.?
In the second part of the episode we explain three reasons why Netflix series and films look the way they do – and why sometimes the impression is left that they not only look similar, but also appear “cheap”.
Last but not least, we discuss whether the appearance of the series and films really represents a problem for the streaming service and, above all, for its subscribers. The productions will still be watched.
