It's too bad they don't screen their actual content with the same rigor as they do their technical side. I don't doubt their technical side is excellent. Most of Netflix is utterly mindless garbage content for background consumption. I struggle to name even 5 of their originals over the years that you could call good "TV" or Cinema. Black Mirror is the only one that really comes to mind.

Black mirror was originally a channel 4 production (uk). It moved to Netflix on the 3rd season, so I wouldn't quite call it a Netflix original.

If you can name some things you like, I'll try to name some Netflix originals that might match? I think you could be pleasantly surprised

Stranger Things The Crown Bojack Horseman Lupin Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Russian Doll Glow Narcos Sex Education House Of Cards (although, this is less fun to watch now considering Kevin Spacey's real life actions but the show itself was and is quite good) Dark The Witcher Daredevil The Haunting of Hill House (similarly Midnight Mass and Haunting of Bly Manor) All of these are award winning as well as just being incredibly good shows. I think Netflix just pumps out so much content. There's plenty of bad stuff, but there's also plenty of very very good stuff.

Netflix puts out plenty of good stuff, some people just can't distinguish "I don't like it" from "it's bad." Comments like this are usually just an invitation for someone to put forth what shows they think are decent so you have a chance to dunk on their taste.

  Well, someone did actually put out a list, and some of those shows look pretty interesting, although I do disagree with some picks. A decent outcome nevertheless!
