Best of the Decade: How streaming smashed the rules

When it comes to TV, the days of weekly watch parties and bathroom breaks during commercials are over.

“Broadcast has so much to offer, but that freedom is what I longed for.”

Yet Netflix’s impact goes beyond just the content it creates.

That’s when I realized, we are on a hit, hit show."

Plec remembers a similar moment whenThe Vampire Diarieshit Netflix about halfway through its run.

“So I started asking, ‘How are you watching the show?’

and they all said, ‘On Netflix.’

After Fox canceledLucifer, Netflix picked it up.

It did the same withDesignated Survivor.

And more recently, Netflix saved Lifetime’sYOU, which sawmassive growthafter its first season hit the streaming service.

“Netflix is so aligned with the way audiences, especially younger ones, find shows now.”

So yeah, it’s safe to say: We are still watching.
