I would say that Netflix is making up for anything with volume, the quality of their own shows seem to be rather low in general. Their plan seems to be to make as many shows as possible and kill them of as soon as possible if they don't become sufficiently popular.

Other may disagree, but to me "Netflix Original" is a warning that the show is going to be poorly written. Production quality is usually pretty good though.

Sure, I come from a point of view that the inaugural seasons House of Cards and orange is the new black were terrific. If you disagree with me on that, then Netflix is an even lower bar for you.

I also think Black Mirror, while still good, dropped a notch after moving to Netflix.

It's been my experience that the first season of a Netflix show is usually worth watching, but each season the quality of the show declines.

However, I would agree with you that their drive for quantity has resulted in a very low-quality slate of new shoes over the past two television seasons.
