As most episodes have some sci-fi element to them, last night I was thinking what's the one in Loch Henry. Mention of Netflix kinda seemed out of place so that stuck with me as well, but then an idea dawned on me: what if mention of Netflix is the sci-fi element?
In the previous episode we already saw that Streamberry is capable of very advanced stuff (e.g. quantum computer generating layers upon layers of reality).
What if the show was originally actually launched on Netflix, or at least recorded in the universe where Netflix exists, but Streamberry doesn’t? The last scene where we see show running on Streamberry would be the sci-fi element in this case, as we are shown that they stole a film from a parallel universe? Wouldn’t it be convenient to have rick-and-morty style of interdimensional cable and just steal the shows you love, instead of going through the hassle of recording them yourself. As we saw in the previous episode, they are obviously very interested in not wasting time recording their shows. :::
WDYT?
Edit: attempt at spoiler tag
but wouldn’t it be strange for Netflix and Streamberry to have almost the same visual identity without any issues if they co-exist in the same universe?
Them being represented as so similar-yet-different (logo, starting animation and sound, user interface, i guess the only real difference is the name and the quantum computer lol) for me kind of plays into the idea of parallel universes even more.
