    Same. It’s just been Netflix’s MO since they came into being.

    They have never been able to develop a decent idea into a good one. Triple Frontier, a movie about former special forces dudes stealing from a cartel. Great idea, horrible 3rd act when they forgot how to all green beret at the same time.

    Good idea, needed a few rewrites. Old Guard, 6 Underground, the list goes on and on. Movie after movie is just mid.

        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.

          Agreed. I loved seasons 1&2 of stranger things but I was over it less than halfway through the third season. But they had a low budget high school zombie show that was enjoyable but they ended it immediately. Like, I don’t know what their issue is, but the fact that they don’t understand their audience is clear. The fact that they’re still around is owed to the fact that they were first to market, and now have lots of content. But most of the good stuff is just rented by Netflix from other companies.
