Your point about human curation is well-made. I think that the SVODs could even have a human generate the header "If Jerry Bruckheimer was from South Korea", but then train some models to identify the titles to populate it. While Netflix makes a lot of mistakes with its content recommendations, scrolling through their homepage at least has this feel.
Further to your point though, there are two streamers where I watch the highest proportion of films they stream: Criterion Channel and MUBI. Why? They have human curated collections each month and they have a clear target audience for each of these of which I am a part.
Human curation is hard. Like in any type of programming, it really comes down to finding someone who has the right POV. Prime Video desperately needs curation. Although their bigger problem is that they have so many conflicting marketing requirements, their service always feels a bit like an unorganized flea market.
I'll be interested in what you think. It is very Bruckheimer-like. Great actions sequences and these awkward personal moments. It apparently only cost about $18 million, which is impressive.
Very entertaining! Much better than the typical Bruckheimer flick. Thanks for the recommendation. My wife enjoyed it too. The volcano scenes were the only times the budget showed. One great benefit of the streaming era is the availability of great foreign movies and shows.

Thanks for recommending Ashfall. That's right up my alley. It's nice to have something on Peacock besides English soccer and the Tour de France
