Prime is going to beat them both.

That have some big money projects in the works. If they hit on their LotR or WoT series they could go big time. They already have a handful of top tier shows.PurpleThrobber said:Prime is going to beat them both.
If they would fix the fucking UI though, that would be great... -
Netflix puts out some awful garbage which drags it down.

It hits all demographics way better than HBO does. HBO is almost entirely adult entertainment. Netflix has tons of shit for kids and teens. Most of that is probably attributed to simply having more content available. HBO still keeps an actual lineup.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:Netflix puts out some awful garbage which drags it down.

When I read that HBO's new masters wanted to turn them into another Netflix, I almost committed seppuku. I don't care that the scope is narrow, I care that they're the only network out there anymore treating television as an art medium instead of a digital Wal Mart. They pump huge dollars into big visions like nobody else, so the quality is incredibly high across the board. If HBO was the only channel going, there wouldn't be much to watch, and that would suck. Since there are millions of hours of other content available, I want HBO doing exactly what they're doing: ponying up to make the best content available. Broadening their scope will only turn their premium content shittier, which would be awful.

HBO is still the dominant player in original content. They produce masterpiece after masterpiece, and just the virtue of being an HBO show is a seal of approval for any series. I really hope their AT&T overlords don't dilute their brand by trying to keep up with Netflix and Prime.
