FU Netflix - this is utter crap. All such "mediums" etc. are absolute con artists. There is no afterlife, no spirits, no deities etc - total figments of the human brain/psyche largely based on grief and fear of death.
There is a never increasing number of TV shows that on cable that push this type of crap. Keeps people distracted from real problems like wannabe fascists trying to gain control of their countries, climate change, industrial pollution killing them, etc.
Netflix doesn't produce shows to "distract" anyone from anything, they produce shows they think people will watch, and there's no shortage of people willing to be told that death is just make-believe.
I'd have a hard time deciding whether this is better or worse than "Real Housewives" of wherever, myself.
@mcfate I never said everything was a conspiracy - or even implied it. Like minded people tend to do similar things and it is to the personal benefit of the very wealthy who have power/influence to keep those without such distracted.
If you say so. I don't think they're nearly clever enough to be doing that kind of planning.
There's literally reams of shit on Netflix, and there's not a ton of thinking going on behind it, other than someone with signing authority liked it enough to spend what, for them, can only be a minuscule amount of money on it.
I have no clue who the "like-minded people" in this scenario are, but if they think a ghost show will "distract" people, best of luck to 'em.
I'm just generally averse to seeing hidden motives behind commonplace things, when there's no evidence, and imagining such motives isn't anything one can act upon or which would make any actual difference to anything.
@NorthernInvader
Not everything is a conspiracy. "The Dick van Dyke Show" and "My Mother the Car" were "bread and circuses".
