Harley Quinn being on Netflix would be good for the show

Don’t get me wrong I don’t think that streaming Harley Quinn on the dc universe is a bad idea. I just feel it would really increase the fan base if season 1 is streamable on Netflix because it has such a large number of people registered. I have discovered a lot of good shows on Netflix (Final space e.t.c) and just like how I gave that show a chance I think people would give Harley Quinn a chance so it can finally grow into the popular top tier show it should be.

I agree, but I doubt we’ll see it happen. Everyone is trying to make their own streaming service happen, and from a purely business point of view, it’s counter intuitive to give any of your material to a competitor. DC is doing what most of the services do and hoping that, by holding on to their own IPs, they’ll pull in a core base of people who really want that stuff, alongside the people who can afford multiple services and pick this up in addition to their others.

There’s pros and cons to both sides of this of course. If DC actually has the solid base to work with, then their plan will be a good one, and it could actually hurt them to put even one season of any show on some other service.

On the other hand, exposure is almost always good, and the potential for someone to find a new show, get hooked and then buy into the DC service for said show is there. But I think the cost is too high. You’ll end up with lots of people who simply won’t ever buy in because they don’t need it or care enough or have the spare cash to do so. At the end of the day, I don’t see the people who make the decisions doing something that has such a high risk/low reward set up.

It’ll eventually be on HBO Max, which will be great for it

I’m pretty sure all the DC Universe shows are going on HBO Max

Will never happen. It’ll probably end up on HBO max like Doom Patrol.

I understand why they wouldn’t do that. But I still worry that if they can’t get enough people to subscribe and pay for DC Universe, all these amazing shows like Harley Quinn, Titans or Doom Patrol will be cancelled. Which would suck.

DC shows are being distributed by Netflix in my country so I hope Harley Quinn isn’t the exception

Making it available anywhere except their app would be great for the show.

DC streaming is not even an option where I live, so to the open seas I sail.

It would depend. I mean it would have a larger potential audience for sure. But the thing is Netflix floods it’s service with original shows. People think of it as a hit machine but they don’t take into account for every Stranger things there are 10-15 shows few people watch and another 30 or more that no one even knows exist. And Netflix does almost nothing to promote their shows really, they just drop them and whatever gets momentum gets it on it;s own. I mean yeah potentially more people would talk about it, especially being a DC show. But being on Netflix is no guarantee of a hit. Although kind of a moot point, if it goes anywhere outside of DCU (at least in the US) it would be HBO MAX. They are not going to give it to who is now their competitor.

Netlfix doesn’t promote their shows, so that would be terrible if it was put there

It’d give the show more circulation but at the same time it’d take away from their business

So in Australia I can’t access DC Universe streaming, is there any other way to watch it that anyone knows of for international viewers?

what pisses me off is that none of the dcuniverse or hbo max content is avaiable in the uk and ireland. i really wanna watch harley quinn

it would just sense but don’t c it happening

RIP Netflix. It’s going the way of Myspace

Not saying that might not end up happening. But so far the only one we know is going is Doom Patrol. Yeah definitely possible others (especially Stargirl since it will also be on CW) and possibly all of them well. But when they promoted it and boasted their DC stuff quite a bit they didn’t mention anything else. Possible the ink hadn’t dried on whatever deal would lock the others into being on it, but the fact they didn’t mention it does make it seem at least initially the others aren’t. Seems they would have promoted it if it was. Now down the line, who knows. Just think officially only Doom Patrol is going.

My guess is if it goes down (and not saying it will. I don’t believe it is doing as poorly as some seem to be rooting for it to do. More reliable sources said the subscriptions were exceeding expectations, at least until the streaming wars talk started to get into full swing, then people kind of lost interest in covering it). But my guess is if they do go down that at least some of them would continue.

Although that is a real fear for a lot of shows on streaming now. I am not as convinced as others that there is going to be some massacre and only a couple will survive like people predict. Not like multiple premium channels don’t co-exist on cable and getting all of them is still more expensive then getting all the streaming channels. But if it does happen no way all of the content out now will just migrate to the few survivors.

Doom Patrol and Titans are supposedly also going to be on HBO Max. That could help bring them to a wider audience.

Wouldn’t be aurprised if they end up doing the same with Harley Quinn because of its popularity.

Yeah.

For now, there’s no legal way for me to watch the show (unless DC Universe allows access via VPN).

Since Titans is on my country’s Netflix maybe they will license Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing and Harley Quinn to Netflix, too.

Although, Batwoman is included in Amazon’s Prime, while Supergirl and Arrow are on Netflix (although always with a one to two season delay, probably because of broadcasting). And The Flash is on Prime … so who knows.

Try and use a vpn and set it to US
