Matt Brodlie, director of original films at Netflix, knows that along with warm weather comes romance.
From “Set It Up” — two employees set up their workaholic superiors — to “Alex Strangelove” — about a teen whose quest to lose his virginity sends him on a journey to uncover his sexuality — Netflix is serving up a varied romantic slate, Brodlie told CNN.
“There all really fun and they are all really different,” he said. “We’ve got different takes on them all, so they hopefully will hit in a broad way.”
Brodlie said Netflix is aiming for one shared quality in all its romantic originals.
“Our whole goal is to provide films that we think people will enjoy watching,” he said. “We want [the films] to be satisfying, we want them to sometimes be challenging too, but we do want them to be enjoyable.”
