Netflix is more than a household name... it's the largest streaming service worldwide, boasting a ridiculously big and EVER-GROWING global subscriber count of approx 182 million. Yes - 182 million!!!

In this episode, I chat to Professor Elia Cornelio Marí (Tabasco, Mexico) about how Netflix is changing the television industry. We talk about the humble origins of Netflix starting out as the first online DVD rental store back in 1997, explore the business model of Netflix, and debate whether the service privileges quantity over quality.

We also unpack the relationship between global technologies and local spaces, discussing how Netflix has focused on cultural proximity while also strategically increasing its foreign language content to achieve its overall goal: to conquer the world !!!
