Netflix is increasingly designing films and series for distracted, second-screen viewers. DW's Scott Roxborough asks what it means for storytelling, visual language and the future of cinema as an art form.
It’s focused on more and more of their content being built around distracted/“second screen” viewing.
Which is fair I think.
But I agree with you that it’s more a case of Netflix just following the trend, not setting it. Netflix have had a few standout hits that can be seen, the big movie example given is K-pop demon hunters, however I would counter that by saying given its nature as a musical style movie that heavy exposition in and out of songs is more warranted.
