And yet you just highlighted some of their best work lol. Which isn't saying a whole lot.

Haha that's the whole point! There best work, isn't.

Like, the first few Stranger Things were great, and House of Cards was great until the boondoggle of an end (which wasn't the creators fault bc of all the Spacey nonsense). That's about it.

Mindhunter was also great, but rather than losing their audience with huge gaps, they lost their showrunner and cast.

House of cards and mindhunter came from Netflix trying to give money to people that knew how to make quality shows and not interfering. Then they decided a different strategy of trying to appeal to lots of different demographics with low quality shlock. It destroyed the quality of everything. Now Netflix original means terrible, like direct to video was in the past.

Yeah that's a fair assessment.
