TV series now account for more than half of all Netflix viewing. That helps to explain why this Wednesday — the long-awaited moment when motion picture classics like “Scarface” and newer hits like “Toy Story 3” will vanish from the streaming service — is not the doomsday that it was once expected to be.

Never a good transitional move to make…

But this surveyed viewership is as a percentage of people already subscribed. Which means that the TV shows are in actual demand by people with the streaming service, and to a much greater degree than the movies. It’s not like there are zero movies available so people subscribe and then say, oh, oh well, I guess I have to watch shows instead. People subscribe and then they spend their time staring at TV show episodes.
I agree with the chorus that the lack of movie selection sucks for now, but won’t that improve over time? And is there anyone doing it better? People want tv shows and netflix is giving it to them conveniently.
I have been watching all my quality tv (HBO stuff mostly) via Netflix since long before they offered streaming service.
It’s a very convenient way to watch word-of-mouth recommended stuff that you want to catch up on.

Yawn. Starz sucks. There is little to lose sleep over here – except maybe “Celtic Pride” and “Ghoulies II”
