Netflix claimed that it does not ask creators to “repeat” plot points, despite public declarations from celebrities that writers had been instructed by the streamer to do so when developing projects.
The alleged directives received more exposure when Oscars host Conan O’Brien joked about them on stage during his bit with Paradise star Sterling K. Brown.
“It’s been widely reported that some studios are now insisting filmmakers repeat information and restate the plot several times in their movies in order to accommodate the modern movie viewer who’s half watching because they’re distracted by their phones,” O’Brien said Sunday, without mentioning Netflix by name.
