The standard used to be about 22 episodes a year, so that is an episode every two weeks. Many shows ran for at least 5 years, and some ran forever (days of our lives would be one example). So I don't think that is the problem. What is the issue is that Netflix wants to drag you in with a few big hits and then satiate you with much cheaper shows. Unfortunately that doesn't work because they don't have a massive content library, but they still act and price themselves as if they did.
