Yeah, for the most part they do. Their philosophy of giving showrunners complete creative control is great in theory, but doesn't always produce compelling TV.

Yeah, I know I'm supposed to like these, and I tried, but I can't.

Their original content is widely diverse. I'm not sure how you can make a blanket statement about all of it.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

You can make a blanket statement because most of it sucks

It's a very diverse selection, which I appreciate, but yeah it mostly just sucks.

Maybe they should focus.

So, I was going to make a list of stuff I've enjoyed and rank it (which I did below), but it making the list, I got a look at the ocean of stuff Netflix has produced that I either didn't like or couldn't be bothered to click on. It must be super cheap to make this stuff. A lot is stand up shows. I don't know if those really count as part of this discussion.

Stranger Things
Marvel Shows
Arrested Development
Hot Wet American Summer
Black Mirror
House of Cards
Unfortunate Events
Master of None
The OA
Making a Murderer
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

it has some great moments, but overall is just way too disjointed and doesn't work as a full length film

A lot of these Gen X movies really don't hold up in the light of day.
