‘War Machine’ Has Been a Minor Hit — and Netflix Needs Minor Hits

Interesting analysis using Google Trends in the absence of consistent ratings.

Quote from Scott Porch — Reporter @ Decider.
“Netflix isn’t a network like NBC or HBO that puts a lot of marketing into a project, premieres it on a date certain and hopes you watch it. Netflix is a database with thousands of hours of programming, an algorithm-driven interface that shows you things you’re likely to enjoy watching, and a programming philosophy that the Netflix tent should be big enough for Fuller House and Chef’s Table.”
