Netflix narrative has been popular with Wall Streeters, journalists and consumers for years – and it’s not hard to understand why. The two companies are “love brands” and count millions of evangelist users (me being one), they sit at the forefront of the video entertainment industry and continually push each other to improve their offerings, library and original programming.
