I think it is a good analysis of Netflix's strategy. I am not sure I agree with the moral overtones of the story (watching TV is bad and TV series are stupid), but I do agree that Netflix is definitely trying to offer viewers hours of content rather than film options. I really think it was a very insightful analysis of what Netflix is doing with the micro-genres: that it is not using movie ratings to suggest things in a different genre/style you wouldn't have thought of, but trying to show you more of the same type of content.
