NFLX’s (junk) bond rating should give NFLX shareholders some pause, but evidently it doesn’t.

NFLX’s business model has some problems; this article says each (~50min) episode of original content costs $8-15M:

The good news is that Netflix originals are resonating.

I suppose, but with few exceptions (e.g. Charité at War) I find Netflix originals to be junk (just like the company’s bonds, LOL [#msg-148442969]).

Netflix’s dubbing of foreign-language series, with no option to have subtitles instead, is a particular gripe of mine. (Charité is a notable exception.)

Moreover, Netflix originals seem to target one demographic group, which doesn’t make sense to me in a business where there is no advertising revenue. Comments?
