There are so many shows on Netflix that even chief content officer Ted Sarandos can't always watch everything.
At the kickoff party for the streaming service's annual Emmy campaign, FYSee, Sarandos told The Hollywood Reporter that it's actually not possible for him to watch everything.
"Not very well sometimes," he confessed. "I have an amazing team. And more than that, an amazing team that's super empowered, that can make those decisions. There was a time when I got to watch every cut and read every draft, and I don't even think ? it's not humanly possible anymore."
The FYC bash, held on a soundstage at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood that will host panels and events for the next month, boasted a tip sheet of more than 170 people from nearly 60 different titles ? series, specials and movies included. And most of the talent who spoke with THR confessed that they, too, are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content available to them.
Said actress Britt Baron, who stars on women's wrestling series GLOW, "There's so much, so if you want to just scroll through you could be there for hours. I waste so much time scrolling." That's when they turn to two sources: recommendations from friends, and Netflix's own algorithm.
"I'm actually really stressed every time I open [Netflix]," Dear White People star Logan Browning said. "There's so much content now. I like that there are categories based on the kinds of films or shows [you've seen]. I typically go to what's trending or what are people watching the most, that way when I go out I can talk about whatever everybody else is watching."
