Last week I binged watched Stranger Things......an excellent show with a welcome return for Winona Ryder 4 out of 5 and now I starting to watch Making a Murderer. I am really enjoying all these new shows on Netflix and Chelsea Handler's new talk show. Its been a pretty good year for tv. I found this interesing article about how Netflix knows exactly when you got hooked on Stranger Things, Making a Murderer http://www.smh.com.au/ent...rluwb.html

I thought from the heading this was going to be a thread about the lack of privacy - ie. the fact that services like Netflix probably SPY on you!

sorry for the mix up. I was making a general comment about some of the shows I have discovered on Netflix. I posted the link from this very interesting article about how Netflix can survey people's viewing habbits, and these shows that I have been watching are mentioned in this article. Hulu and Foxtel with the new IQ3 is doing a similar thing....spying on our viewing habbits

Nothing is funny about that, I was laughing at myself for being a total , and should have just posted the article and the link in the first place. And like you pointed out the heading was confusing, so I will change it to Netflix, Hulu, HBO Etc News & Discussion Thread, so it covers all the news related issues that is happening right now to these streaming services.

They need to know how successful their content is, of course everything you watch on streaming services is monitored.

I'd love that depending on the price, and if the movies are subtitled. The Criterion movies on hulu plus weren't and I have such trouble with the clarity of the dialogue.

"need to know how successful their content is" is: how many hits it's getting, not who's watching, when, what times of day, and which bits they're watching over and over again, if any - that's a really awful thing to do to someone.....

New original and off-network series titles for the month of October will appear on the streaming video services Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime.

Hugh Laurie, mostly known to American TV audiences as Dr. Gregory House from ‘House’, returns to the medical field for his next series for Hulu, “Chance” which will air an episode each Wednesday starting Oct. 19.

Laurie plays Dr. Eldon Chance, a San Francisco-based forensic neuropsychiatrist. The series also stars Diane Farr (“NUMB3RS”), Lisa Gay Hamilton (“The Practice”), Gretchen Mol (“Boardwalk Empire”), Paul Adelstein (“Prison Break”), Ethan Suplee (“My Name is Earl”), and Clarke Peters (“The Wire”).

David E. Kelley, the creator of such legal hits as “Ally McBeal,” “The Practice,” and “Boston Legal”, debuts his new legal drama on Amazon entitled “Goliath” (Oct. 14). Billy Bob Thornton, who made a splash on the first season of ‘Fargo’, stars as a disgraced lawyer who ventures on a road to redemption after agreeing to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the biggest client of his former law firm.

Also on Amazon, the new series “Good Girls Revolt” (Oct. 28) is inspired by the landmark sexual discrimination cases chronicled in Lynn Povich’s book, ‘The Good Girls Revolt’, about a group of young female researchers, at “News of the Week,” who simply ask to be treated fairly in the year 1969.

Netflix’s new comedy “Haters Back Off” (Oct. 14) stars Colleen Ballinger as Miranda Sings, a self-absorbed, untalented, teenager-ish YouTube singer. The series also stars Angela Kinsey (“The Office”) and Steve Little (“Eastbound and Down”).

The fifth season of hit FX anthology “American Horror Story” from 2015 entitled “American Horror Story: Hotel” arrives on Netflix, Hulu and Amazon on Oct. 4. Lady Gaga, in her first television role, won a Golden Globe award for her portrayal as Elizabeth Johnson / The Countess.
