Netflix original shows are a crime against humanity

Like Hulu is any better

Never got the appeal of Netflix content. The majority of it looks like knockoff entertainment.

Are they still buying stuff that major companies reject?

I like Netflix shows. I watched Black Summer recently and wondered why it had a bigger budget than The Walking Dead shows who rake in millions per episode.

Netflix isn’t afraid to spend.

Netflix is mostly trash nowadays with a random good show. Bummer.

Nah, Netflix produce the best TV shows on the planet.

  • Black Summer
  • Russian Doll
  • 13 Reasons Why
  • The Society
  • The Haunting of Hill House
  • Dark
  • Stranger Things
  • Black Mirror
  • Umbrella Academy
  • Ozark

Nobody has that many quality shows that are still running today.

End of the fucking world is back on next month too.

I enjoyed Russian Doll. Black Mirror is horrible and Stranger Things is just 80s nostalgia but even blander.

There are still enough good original shows within the many mediocore or bad ones as well as other good licensed shows and movies plus anime for me to justify the price.

What is wrong with you people. Seriously. Second time this week someone has made a thread like this. Netflix has some of the best shows out; if you arent finding them its because you watch shit and netflixs recomendations are based on the shity shit you watched in the past.

Drama
House of Cards *emmy nominee *golden globe nominee
Narcos *golden globe nominee
Stranger Things *emmy nominee *golden globe nominee
The OA
Ozark *emmy nominee
Mindhunter
godless *emmy nominee
altered carbon
lost in space
the haunting
black summer
when they see us *emmy nominee
unbelievable
dead to me
Dark
money heist
the society
you (not netflix original, but again nobody saw it until it was brought back by netflix)
bodyguard (not netflix original but nobody saw it without netflix) *golden globe nominee

Comedy
master of none *emmy nominee *golden globe nominee
love
the ranch
santa clarita
GLOW
friends from college
atypical
american vandal
on my block (insanely good and underated)
russian doll

Making a murderer

If you dont think any of those are great or at least good shows, you might as well quit watching tv. And these are just the ones I have seen, there are probably way more that are better that I havent seen.

The Haunting of Hill House is a fucking masterpiece of a show imo, Dark is good but overrated, at least the first season.

13 Reasons why might be the most disgusting show I've ever watched, Stranger Things is an overrated generic mediocrity and Black Mirror was ruined the exact season it became a Netflix production. But thanks for the rest of the recommendations.

Daredevil
Dark
The Dark Crystal
The Haunting
Love, Death and Robots

Currently watching Living With Yourself which I am enjoying.
Watched season 1 and 2 of Rain but it turned to shit.

Now you could say as a whole, Netflix really do release a ton of shit, there is so much shit that it's not funny.
But the good shows that they have are very good.

Why didn't you guys tell me netflix shows got awards?? That MUST mean they're good!!
I know that’s sarcasm. But generally when a show gets an award that is what it means. I know that’s a tough concept for you to grasp, so take your time.

Master of none is shit. The emmy's can go to hell. I already said Mind Hunter was good and Orange was also good. (first two seasons only) But for every 1 good show they have 20 others that are terrible. They might as well be NBC.

I tend to agree, Netflix is quantity above quality. Even the shows that I find worthwhile tend to weaken with each successive season, like Ozarks and Stranger Things. I understand why they took that approach, trying to appeal to as large an audience as possible as quickly as possible, but it just doesn't do anything for me right now.

If I had to rate the various streaming services/networks HBO would still come out on top for me. The golden age of TV has passed, I find myself wading through a ton of SJW-centered content at this point hoping to find one or two shows with strong writing, acting and some creativity.

Here’s what the shows are akin too.

Black Summer - 28 weeks later, zombies run and are actually a threat.

Russian Doll - Happy Death Day, Dying over and over again.

The Society - The 100, teens stranded

Umbrella Academy - Superhero show

Ozark - Breaking Bad, tense show about an ordinary family stuck in the drug business

The Good Place is another fun show.

Feels like a mixed bag, but I think their tv-series are much better and more well produced than their movie output. Orange is the new black, Better Call Saul, Mindhunter, Stranger Things and Derry Girls are really good of the ones I´ve seen. Their movies on the other hand have almost all been complete garbage.

Like most TV/Movies a large part of it is bad or doesn't appeal to me.
But I've enjoyed several of their shows:

- Daredevil S1
- Jessica Jones S1
- Punisher S1
- Altered Carbon
- Castlevania
- Voltron
- Bojack Horseman
- Devilman Crybaby
- Dark
- Stranger things
- Love, Death & Robots
- Russian Doll
- The last Kingdom (not actually sure if it's theirs but they show it was a "netflix original" at least in my country)
- Stranger Things.
-Black mirror turned to shit when it was bought by Netflix but at least you can still watch the old good seasons.

I've also hear good things about Mindhunter.
Hardly anything is on the "wow, this was amazing 10/10" tier but they are still enjoyable to watch
