“Let’s get Netflix.” I remember saying that to my wife circa 2001 just before we started getting the DVD-by-mail service. This week, I said it again to Zach, my newsletter collaborator, but not in a good way.

It’s been a shameful few days for the company, now the global streaming giant.

I’ll table discussion of whether Dave Chappelle’s new Netflix special is funny or not. Regardless of its merits on the comedy side of things, the special contains some very overt instances of Chappelle taking what could only be called cheap shots at the trans community.
