    Is that all?

    Netflix generated $39 billion in revenue in 2024 - I would not doubt that on all the internal productions the accounts are renting the studio lot / cameras / crew / marketing etc at premium rates from the parent company.

    I struggle to remember hardly anything memorable from Netflix, especially their movies, despite that amount of investment.

    K-Pop Demon Hunters, what else? The rest is mostly if not all slop. Even looking now at their top 10 most popular movies we have a generic Rock movie in second place

      Stranger Things, and back in the day Orange Is The New Black and House Of Cards were the reasons to have Netflix. (I also thought Glow was really excellent, but that's me. I know some people had a real attachment to Sense 8, but that one wasn't for me.)

      I haven't been a Netflix subscriber for years now though, not since they diluted Netflix Original to mean anything they currently had an exclusive distribution license to in your country. (Occupied / Okkupert was great, at least in the season, but Netflix had nothing to do with making it.)

      EDIT: Oh, and the Daredevil series was excellent, but I think of that as Marvel rather than Netflix.

        Their TV shows are definitely better than the movies by far but even then I can’t think of one that I watched that didn’t decline in quality as time went on. Even the last season of Stranger Things was pretty poor
