Netflix does have good shows, but they’re just so few and far in between. I stopped my subscription about a year ago, and haven’t missed it. I’ll resubscribe this month to watch Fall of the House of Usher, then unsub again just because there’s nothing to watch.
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if others are doing this, the streaming companies catch on, and we pay a bulk amount for a season a la early iTunes again
They also actively pigeon hole users into a small portion of their content, they’ve been stripping away all search and discovery functionality over the years. They are going down the route of “our algorithm is perfect and knows exactly what you want so why would you want to do anything else”
I bet there’s a ton of content you’d actually enjoy that Netflix will never recommend to you because it’s outside of what the algorithm thinks you want to see
Never mind the price, Netflix just doesn’t have stuff I want to watch anymore.

I agree, I just hate that when they do have good shows they cancel it immediately 🤦. I cringed when they canceled 1899 and inside job.
The ones I really miss are the Ghibli films :/
