Netflix has secured a deal with former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama to produce series and movies for the streaming service. The former first couple will, according to an announcement Monday from the company, potentially work on scripted and unscripted series as well as docu-series, documentary films, and features under the multi-year deal.
"Michelle and I are so excited to partner with Netflix — we hope to cultivate and curate the talented, inspiring, creative voices who are able to promote greater empathy and understanding between peoples, and help them share their stories with the entire world.”
Barack and I have always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire us, to make us think differently about the world around us, and to help us open our minds and hearts to others,” said Michelle Obama. “Netflix’s unparalleled service is a natural fit for the kinds of stories we want to share, and we look forward to starting this exciting new partnership.”

Exactly the same here. I have both Acorn TV and Brit Box.
For those who might be lurking, NetFlix search of Canada and Australia yields some good stuff that is lacking in the “F” word and no queer stuff.
Also a search for Korea yields som very suprising good stuff. The problem is subtitles, but the programming is very good.
ditto Taiwan
Don't laugh but each of those Star Wars characters are getting their own films.
After the relative success of "Solo" the next is slated to be "ObiWan" then "Lando" and possibly "Chewbacca" after that.
Great, social justice shows out the wazoo. I have never given Netflix any money.

Nixing Netflix tonight. On to Hulu. F’ em.
A money shuffle, that’s it. Just like book deals where the New York Times buys hundreds of thousands of copies to get around illegal money transfers.
P.S. I guess I’ll have to cancel Netflix to keep from being inundated with advertising and their faces showing up all the time.
I cancelled Netflix when they hired Susan Rice, I was sure to call and let them know.
Oh yea......I already dropped Netflex when they announced this was coming, the crap they have on there now is all selling their liberal/socialist crap. It was like dumpster diving trying to find an untarnished movie! Terrible choices.
Yep, Obama is one big FAKE as sh*t story. He is still a mystery except for the damage that he inflicted on America. Michelle thinks she is Rock Star but just a typical angry woman who is as much of a bullsh*ter and liar as her gay husband. They won the political lottery but nothing will never be good enough and wealth and power is addictive.
...”Michelle thinks she is Rock Star”......
Well that’s what she wants to be, as she has stated...on TV and a star. But I can’t stand the site of either.
So it’s OK for a President to become a reality TV star after he’s out of office but not before?
“. It was like dumpster diving trying to find an untarnished movie! Terrible choices.”
Well put!
Next up, five biographical movies about the Obamas.
Ping
It is a pretty crappy selection. I tell my husband sometimes it takes longer to find a movie than it does to watch one.
