NETFLIX series REVIEW

Currently Netflix caters for an astounding audience of 94 million international viewers and is the highest grossing non-gaming app on Apple’s App Store, whilst coming in at number 6 on Google Play. Its revenue has reportedly been growing 256% year-on-year, resulting it to hit $120 million in 2017! Through their ragingly increased success and diverse range of target audiences, Netflix now provides an impeccable and enticing 6494 movies, alongside 1609 tv shows. This not only enables respondents to select a variety of entertainment but also opens an opportunity for them to implement their critical thinking, previously learnt through enhanced reading and understanding of concepts which shape various compositions despite their form.

Presumably today’s generation of teenagers incoherently view oral compositions, not gaining an academic purpose from the content which is presented hence, they are unable to be constructive critiques, who provide an insightful understanding of themes, attitudes, morals and rhetoric devices which are embedded throughout texts. After all, what is seen on tv is merely a reflection of what one encounters throughout their life. As young respondents, teenagers are constantly challenged with a requirement of being self aware regarding the elements they witness, as to not ignorantly succumb to the authorial intent of the composer. This is evident typically in young adult movies and tv shows whereby the composer has commonly chosen to depict a “typical” high school setting, involving an aristocratic clique juxtaposed to a more anorak and secluded person or group. Although this concept may inform and intrigue young respondents, there is an undeniable responsibility to interpret and orally experience the “ideal” setting with an enhanced level of conscious knowledge, knowing what is genuine and what is an authorial fallacy imposed by the composer to persuade respondents.
