I must have very different tastes, but I found all mentioned series as well as most of other stuff they promote to me on their front page to be mediocre at best, 4-6.2/10 (on a non-normalized scale, like IMDB, with 5 not being "average" but "quite poor") on average. Something (screenwriting, acting or something else) is always breaking my suspension of disbelief, so I drop the series after the first or second episode. Surely, they aren’t that bad as I picture them to be - it’s just that I’m not their target audience.
I keep it for accidental new releases (like that new Wes Anderson’s short movies, which I found quite enjoyable; and The Killer was not bad) and some old series I haven’t yet found time to finish (House of Cards), but overall quality or the majority or their releases feels unimpressive I can’t even remember what was the last thing I’ve liked.
Just an anecdote, of course. This is by no means an objective opinion - quite the contrary, it's a very subjective data point.
- pier25 3y agoI agree there's a lot of mediocre stuff for sure. The majority probably, which is really the definition of mediocre. I'm only saying I generally find good stuff to watch on Netflix which is of course subjective. I quite enjoyed The Killer. Disney, Apple, and HBO we pay for it when there's something we want to watch. But they don't have enough good content to keep a constant subscription like we do with Netflix. Amazon is probably the worst of all. We only have it because it comes included with Prime.
