10 Reasons Disney Plus Will Dominate Netflix
3. EVERY Simpsons Episode
People have joked that Netflix is just a monthly subscription for the boxset of Friends or The Office, and they’ve got a point. For all the originals and exclusives might be a big draw, the thing that drags you back again and again is the reliable binge watch.
That’s why it’s so surprising that The Simpsons’ role in Disney+ hasn’t been particularly hyped. Yes, apparently nobody watches anymore and it hasn’t been any good for 20 years (how exactly would do people know if they don’t watch?), but it’s got one of the finest back catalogues in TV history.
This back catalogue in its entirely will be available from launch. That’s 30 seasons, over 600 episodes, all there for your viewing pleasure. You can catch up on the big episodes you’ve missed, revisit the Golden Era, or even deliberately seek out the worst episodes to laugh derisively. The choice is yours.
