So you don’t binge it all in a few days and unsubscribe from Netflix.

This way they get 2 months from people rather than 1.

I’m not sure, but I think there /might/ be a codeberg issue for this. I know I’ve personally inquired about it.

Depends how interested you are in international content. Netflix has most of that.

Well it wouldn’t shrink as such, people would just abandon their accounts - but they’d still be signed up.

At some point it could be necessary to close registrations which would be fine as there are other instances people can use and Lemmy has shown that the dev-run instance doesn’t need to be the biggest.

Is this something that you project could be required to implemented on a long-term basis? I ask this because new accounts (and this goes for anywhere) can sometimes just be instantly forgotten and abandoned, meaning that you would be in effect overseeing your own userbase tanking as older accounts just get forgotten but no-one can ‘replace’ them (in the sense of signing up).

In my mind, some kind of automated clean-up system is ideal here but idk how that would work without accidently purging alt accounts with specific purposes.

Well lets put it this way, it’s getting another season.

Technically Shogun (new) doesn’t qualify because it’s become an anthological series.

Just had a massive post in television@piefed.social

+58 subscribers over the weekend

There are many ‘feel-good’ shows though. Ted Lasso, The Good Place, Heartstopper. Or thought provoking shows like For All Mankind.

A lot of people like ‘grim’ stuff also though

I would say it’s more generically US ‘prestige’ focused (with some sitcoms) biased. There’s a lot of themes and different types of shows within that, many of which are absolutely socially conscious.

I don’t think it’s possible to ever have a top 100 without bias. This is just measuring critical audience and critic reputation across the major websites.

Well obviously this list is very disproportionately overrepresented by Americans or at least the Anglosphere which very much tilts its results. Mr. Robot by your metric would be an example of this in many ways. I haven’t myself watched many of the shows here so I can’t know what percentage have non-white leads or focus, and to what percentage they do

I am just wondering if you consider traditional ‘male’ settings like sci-fi or dystopia content inherently ‘male’ regardless of the sex of the lead. That was my curiosity regarding Fallout and TLOU.

Women certainly play computer games, but demographically with stuff like TLOU it is much more likely to be male.

I don’t know regarding ‘minority focused’ specifically. What would be an equitable number here in you mind?

To be clear, those are not the only examples of female led shows in that list.

Do you consider Fallout or The Last of Us as examples? I didn’t list those shows because as franchises they obviously have a much larger male audience, but if you are going purely by lead… then it also counts. And many others.

I also realise I missed Big Little Lies, The Morning Show and Fleabag.

High Potential and Deadlock don’t have anywhere near the average rating and amount of votes to get near a list like this.

Also I would argue The Queen’s Gambit, When They See Us, Shogun, Mrs Maisel, Anne With An E, Normal People, Maid, Unbelievable, Atlanta, This Is Us, Heartstopper, Mare of Easttown - all present on this list, are all exceptions to your claim as either being female-led, or having notable progressive themes and/or a heavily minority cast.

So what happens now in regards to Dbzer and Hexbear, if I may ask? That seemed pretty unruly

Yes, but they can’t make use of the name on Reddit. So if you didn’t like how r/movies was made, the odds are there’s no intuitive name for a subreddit to take left to try and compete with them.

Not that you even can effectively compete with them because subreddit promotion on reddit is total garbage.

Watching some objectively bad shows makes you realize how braindead a lot of reviewers are. Especially with modern shows that have 40+ minute filler episodes that exist just because the streaming service wanted to stretch the season out to 10+ episodes.

I mean, this has always existed. TV shows were much more stuffed with filler during the episodic network era.

Btw OP you considered taking data from Serializd too.

Not an expert here, but stuff like Ted Lasso?
