I don't think award shows mean much anymore. To win these awards you're generally producing "Oscar-bait" and lobbying people in Hollywood as opposed to making something regular people want to watch. Content that wins awards are more likely to have been popular, but the causation is in the wrong direction. The only thing I could tell you about recent award winners is one of physically assaulted a comedian on stage. And I suspect that whole incident was planned just to get people to pay attention.
It's subjective to say Netflix hasn't had any must-watch content since Stranger Things, but I think their falling subscribers proves the point. In my mind there used to always be a few shows, and a solid collection of classics, that made cutting the subscription a tough sell, but now I have no reason to even consider re-resubscribing.
I don't have a path that I think Netflix should take to improve, and I'm certainly not qualified to be making those decisions. But they're doing something wrong in their current strategy, clearly.
