    Like, if you've never heard of a show called "Outer Banks" and it isn't offered up to you and your social circle isn't watching it, you can't know to look for it. One thing I like about Criterion's streaming is the "New this month" and "Leaving this month." I don't think Netflix has an equivalent.
