"30.1. Netflix Näen, mihin on pyritty ja näen etenkin, mistä on mallia haettu, mutta sisään ei tahdo päästä. Kuvat ovat komeita, mutta noissa maisemissa nyt saisi äitinikin neljän megapikselin kännykkäkamerallaan kelvollisia kuvia. Pömpöösi, muttei tuo sinänsä häiritse. Arvostan puolentoista tunnin kestoa."
