How the fuck do you expect me to just jump into The Two Towers and not expect me to want to watch The Fellowship of the Ring first?! Oh you think I’m going to go buy/rent the first movie 😂 that’s cute.

How do people still not grasp that Netflix can't just buy whatever they want to stream? Licenses are often being held by other services at the time. They also have no control over if a show gets pulled or not. I still see people complaining that Netflix "got rid" of the Office.

Like, I have no love for Netflix or any streaming service at this point, but at least shit on them for things that are actually in their control.

And frankly, this is how HBO, Showtime, Stars, etc have operated like this for decades before Netflix came along. It's so weird people think "shows/movies being pulled because the license deal expired" is something unique to Netflix.
