How Netflix became the reference with its films and series.

Founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph, Netflix is an American multinational company that handles the dispatch and operation of film and television productions through a platform assigned to it. How Netflix became the reference with its films and series.

Initially, the firm only provided an online service to rent or purchase Dvds that it delivered to the home. Twenty years later, it has become a subscription service of Vos and has enjoyed worldwide success.

In fact, since 2016, it is now located in 190 countries, and continues to make furor in the sector of video on demand by subscription. There are currently 63 million subscribers.

After its bumpy debut in France in September 2014, Netflix has gradually established itself in France thanks to its quality repertoire and original productions. However, the number of subscribers remains below the ambitions of this Svod giant, with 250,000 subscribers, while its French direct competitor Canalplay sponsored by Canal Plus has three times as many members.

Netflix has created its own series

Since 2012, Netflix has created its own series, some of which have become cult series like Orange is the new Black, or House of cards, which you won’t find in the French directory because of the rights acquired by Canal Plus.

In addition, the collaboration with Marvel to produce Daredevil and Jessica Jones in the year 2015 offered Netflixthe opportunity to create and promote a new base of avid customers of these universes.

But the success of Netflix does not stop at the level of the series, it reaches other areas and excels even by producing very good documentaries: Chef’s Table, which is a fantastic immersion in the world of haute gastronomy or the documentary thriller Making a Murderer that focuses on the dysfunctions of the American penal system, and made people talk about it, all over the world.

No one can deny the revolution that Netflix brought in streaming. For example, a study by Comscore reveals that half or almost all Americans watch Netflix on a daily basis, while the other half turn to other platforms such as Youtube and Amazon Video. On the other hand, the television channel audience rate is going down, because when people watch Netflix is the time slot for the flagship television programs.

On the other hand, Netflix has played among other things on nostalgic fiber by building its communication and marketing strategy. This can be seen in the selection of his broadcasted programmes or his own creations, in which he has successfully exploited the new trends in the audiovisual world and in general, in the field of the arts.

In the choice of the repertoire of dissemination, for example, the generations of 18-25 years old will be able to find with nostalgia the contents which they had seen in their childhood.

The must-haves of Netflix

If you are looking for a new series to fill your long winter evenings, and you are wading in the dark, we take the liberty of prompting you on the best series you can find on Netflix France, That way you won’t waste your time snooping around and doing unsuccessful research.

Unbelievable (saison 1)

It is a mini-series of 8 episodes from a real story. Released in September, it traces the investigation of two police officers, who are chasing a serial rapist.

With as much force as subtlety, Unbelievable has succeeded in revealing the hell of abused women all the more so since, when they file a complaint, they are not taken seriously, because of a number of societal and treacherous factors that still embody the oppression of women today. Unbelievable (saison 1)

Brooklyn Nine-Nine (seasons 1-5)

This series considered the funniest in the French repertoire is not the property of Netflix, to its great dismay perhaps. The five seasons out of six of Brooklyn Nine-Nine or the order without law, are currently available on the SVOD platform. For season 6, don’t worry, Jake Peralta and company will be there in France on January 14, 2020.

Kind and funny, this police sitcom tells the daily story of a police station in Brooklyn. You will certainly appreciate the extravagant side of the different characters that detonates with the harmony in the offices.

And even the arrival of a new captain, glacial and rigid, does not change anything, on the contrary, it will only consolidate this atmosphere of nonchalance. Brooklyn Nine-Nine (seasons 1-5)
