I have a Netflix subscription. I have watched exactly 0 hours total of the items called out in TFA; am I out of touch? Am I missing something of particular cultural value?
There are a large variety of tastes and streaming companies cater to the segments which make enough financial returns, not just only pop culture, as long as enough people are there in the segments we like - it shouldn't matter what pop culture is doing.
I'm not sure if it qualifies as "cultural value" but many critics like it. I liked it too, even though I hate almost everything. It has some good acting and writing, and a compelling storyline.
