Today on our week in review: Is Netflix going the way of Neilsen?   The streaming  service has been described as a “black hole” for keeping its viewership data under wraps. But the battle for transparency became a key issue during the Hollywood strikes.  Now, in a first for Netflix, they’ve released reams of of data on thousands of titles and the billions of hours that people spent watching it all. We’ll  look at how this could change the industry –and what shows have emerged as their greatest hits. From there we’ll look at the span of Andre Braugher’s career, which was defined by redefining the role of the TV cop––from Homicide’s  cerebral and conflicted Detective Frank Pembleton to the deadpan humor  and humanity of Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Raymond Holt. And , is the Queen of Christmas the Queen of Copyright Infringement? Mariah Carey is being sued –again, for  her holiday hit, “All I want for Christmas is You.” That and more is next on The Culture Show.
