i think at one point they referred to what Charlie Day did with the kiju's brains as a tech virus or something. remember stopping and looking to see if there was a book or something in between the movie and show. then realizing didn't want to remember anything about the 2nd movie and stopped.I think there are some movie references but its been so long since I've seen them I dunno. I honestly can't even remember what Pacific Rim 2 is about.
My guess is we find out these are all the millions of voters who were brought back from the dead to vote for Biden in 2020 and now they cant get rid of them so they locked them in Vegas.My guess for the backstory is they already wiped out most of the zombies after the initial outbreak and simply contained the stragglers, not wanting to spend the resources and lives to clean building to building. Years later the government has a plan to crater the whole region and that's the "countdown timer" part for getting to the vault and back out. But then they find out the zombies are intelligent and have been breeding while hiding their numbers.
thats 49m households watched Firefly Lane, but Netflix counts as a view any house that watched a show for at least 2 mins. I nope'd out of Firefly lane after 10 mins but I count as a view.
Netflix also announced financials, they are currently at 208m global subs and 74m US subs, slightly below what they forecast as growth is slowing every year. Stock is down 8% for the day but they are up still ~20% year over year.
