In general I agree, but I also have a counter point. I enjoy the European shows on Amazon and Netflix, much more so than the tiring Hollywood garbage. Netflix does bring a decent budget for more Hollywood competitive production value to shows that feel distinctively less "US", which is a good thing for Europe, or at least provides a distribution platform to increase revenue for local shows. Of course many of those shows also are produced for selling to a global audience, and French or some other local productions are more valuable for a European culture. But the contribution is not zero or negative. German shows were especially horrible (no, really, horrible) until very recently.
