Netflix, The addiction and positive impact
Netflix, Inc. is an American media-services provider and production company with over 182 million paying streaming subscribers worldwide, in the first quarter of 2020.
People don't subscribe to streaming services to get access to “all movies,” or even a large portion of them. No one offers that. But Netflix offer great original content, a good selection of other content, and an easy and accessible way to get entertainment. So more content Netflix produced, the more subscribers it attracted. That is why Netflix become so popular.
With it's popularity, many show and movie Netflix created get trends on worldwide. Netflix has become the definitive app for watching movies and TV by many and it changed the tv game. Since then, the terms "binge-watch" and "Netflix and chill" have entered the cultural lexicon.
Netflix also generate an addiction, especially on Netflix series. For example lets look at the cultural phenomenon “Stranger Things”. If you have Netflix this is a new show that you now are binge watching all weekend giving Netflix all of your time and energy. It prove the addiction of Netflix shows.
But, does Netflix has an actual positive impact? The answer is yes. Netflix show has an actual positive impact such as body positivity, self-love, feminism, diversity, and self-development. Some of Netflix shows also paving the way for people to discuss some of several issues. For example, the reaction of people on 13 Reason Why. Since the first season released, the show has catch many comments and critics especially from psychologic expert. The expert found out that the series doesn't help prevent suicide. Ijeoma Oluo described the series as “the ultimate fantasy of teen suicidal ideation". So despite of preventing suicide, the shows has triggered high level of emotional distress and may influence teenager to attempt suicide. As MollyKate Cline write in teen vogue, "the audience is shown what not to do without example what they actually should do". But despite of every comments on 13 Reason Why, Netflix able to maintain the show until the last season four as they also pay attention on the guidance for their audience and provide them with a crisis helpline. 13 Reason why also successfully sending a positive message by the end of the show in season three and season finale. Although i have to admit it was really painful to watch the first and second season, but in the end Netflix able to give the audience a positive message about how to learn let things go and self-development.
