Marco Polo — 92% (Fun Fact: Critics rated it 24%. How’s that for incongruity?)

Narcos — 94% (Another crazy disconnect as critics only rated it 78%)

The author preaches shows produced by data driven companies, then when a rating data driven company has results he judges abnormal to his taste he insinuates something is wrong.

Personally, I found Marco Polo okay, the visuals are good, but the plot got boring after a while. I would not give it more than 50%. As for Narcos, 78% seems legit, I found the whole traditional drama show mixed with documentary interventions awkward. And would not give it more than 75%.

As for the article, of course linear TV is going to get disrupt. But I doubt Amazon or Netflix will get a monopoly. AMC and HBO will simply put their content online, and TV providers will make their revenue loss from linear TV on higher internet consumption.



The author is simply highlighting the disconnect between critics ratings and audience ratings for Netflix shows.
