the audio spike at the start of these episodes peaks my speakers and scares the crap out of me everytime
Am I missing something here? If other studios are pulling their content from Netflix, so that the majority of what Netflix is showing is it's own shows, then it's hardly surprising that most of Netflix's recommendations are Netflix shows. Especially since the content that other producers don't bother to pull from Netflix is presumably the crappy stuff they don't think they can make money from.
