Netflix produced some interesting original shows. Most of them got canceled after a single season, on a cliff-hanger. That got frustrating, so we stopped watching Netflix original shows. Then we stopped watching Netflix. Then we canceled Netflix.
If it is, well I got it from the library and saved a subscription.
Their content discovery is garbage, their licensing decisions questionable, and their original content typically B- or C- grade.
Sure, I liked Sandman. But a light bulb flipped when I watched prime and saw maybe 60% of the content looked interested. Netflix was maybe 2%. Hulu near 25% without add-ons.
You want customer loyalty? Add a new season to recently canceled things, with extraordinarily high quality. That's what kept me engaged for several years!
The Tick was amusing, but that’s quite old now. I did like Rings Of Power too, despite its many flaws. But The Boys is probably the only stand-out show on that platform.
It’s also got a horrifically bad UI too.
Netflix can definitely be hit and miss but so are all the streaming services. Disney over milked Star Wars and Marvel. Apple has some beautiful looking shows but a lot of them are forgettable. Because nobody is sharing licenses it means everyone is rushing out content for contents sake. It’s the same race to the bottom that you see with YouTube / Twitch streamers.
Personally, I liked Gen V more than The Boys, and that is saying alot
