Streaming platforms face quality criticism

A recent article by Télérama raises concerns about the quality of content on major streaming platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and Apple TV. The piece argues that while these services offer some standout films, the overall selection includes many average titles that get lost in the sheer volume of available content.

Notable films highlighted

The article mentions several high-quality films available on these platforms, including The Power of the Dog, Bottoms, Répétition générale, and The Tragedy of Macbeth. These films are cited as examples of the occasional excellence found amidst the broader offerings.

Strategy of wide content selection

The piece suggests that streaming platforms aim to provide a broad range of content to cater to all subscribers, encouraging frequent viewing. This approach is intended to keep users engaged and watching more often, regardless of the specific content they choose.

Criticism of content value

However, the article also points out that when the value proposition becomes too obvious—such as with low-budget aesthetics and other shortcomings—it raises questions about the overall quality and worth of the content provided. This critique highlights a growing concern about the standards of streaming content.

Subscription details for the article

The article is available exclusively to Télérama subscribers for 9.99€. A monthly subscription costs 2.99€ and can be canceled at any time without commitment.
