Is it just me, or are the Netflix original movies just not a good as traditional Hollywood movies?

I'm a big fan of stupid comedies. So that's what I usually watch, or hardcore sci-fi (but no one really does those well anyway).

It just seems like the Netflix original content just isn't as good as regular Hollywood movies. The stories seem to be more trite, and the acting not as good. And it looks like the cinematography and color and isn't as good either. Their series seem to be a bit better than their movies, but only marginally.

Anyone else feel the same?

They certainly like to slip.in gratuitous gay and alternative lifestyle characters who add nothing to the production

Most of the movies are ok, it's the series shows that have problems.  They might have a good first or second season to pull you in, but turn gay and lame.

One should just assume that Netflix shows are full of that shit, plus the acting/plot are lousy.  Mainly not worth the time to watch.

Most of them are absolute shit, occasionally there will be a good one

It's like they just grab a person off the street and give them money and say hey make a movie

I thought Netflix's Army of Dead was decent zombie flick.

This has been my experience and unfortunately it's becoming the norm everywhere else as well.

Why is anyone still giving their money to Netflix, and actually wasting time watching it?

You mean things like The Last Kingdom and The Queens Gambit?

It makes Netflix money so they can support democrats and liberal causes.

100% I havnt watched one good original Netflix movie... it's so bad that if a movie is on Netflix and it's an original Netflix movie, I won't even bother wasting my time watching it!

Their three episode documentaries are usually damn good.

Operation Mincemeat is really good.

Dehli Crime was actually good.

The Extraction movies, Army of the Dead, Triple Frontier, Grayman, I think they have a lot of good ones.

They’re the only place that will show anti woke comedians like Chappell, and they still don’t have ads.

I liked "The Adam Project", but it's basically just another Marvel movie.
