The show being pushed by Netflix worries me. I think they are in damage control mode and getting ahead of it. They painted many of the key figures as "Not that bad" - Feel really bad for Drake Bell, but for him to come out now and basically defend Dan Schneider with the "Actually he was the only one who ever checked in and asked If I was alright" and really targeting three specific people on set who "Only sent pictures but didn't touch" (Outside of Drake Bells rape) makes me feel like they are trying to downplay it all.
Again, watching it I was disgusted, but couldnt help feel like it was all too perfect. The people who worked on the shows and spoke out only really had a "Well it felt kind of weird but there wasn't anything worse than giving him a back massage on the set floor" - Making it a "hostile work environment" rather than the horrendous crimes going on.
I could be really taking this wrong, and this could be a really good start, but to me felt more damage control and less putting them in their place.
You're right to be suspicious. Netflix is bought and paid for, they HAVE to be because all of the bought-and-paid-for internet service providers will screw with their service otherwise and ruin them. They're already struggling thanks to the Covid lockdowns causing big media corporations to try and jump into the 'streaming' model, and claiming their stuff back from Netflix. All Netflix has anymore is comedians, TV series nobody cares about, documentaries(!) and "Netflix originals" or "Live action remakes" of animes. You know, where they insert left wing politics into Japanese cartoons, give them live actors, and generally do everything short of dragging the creator of the show out and take a steaming dump in his mouth.
