Netflix isn’t what it used to be. Netflix used to have full-length shows and good acting. Now you have to wait months for part two of a season, and they’re normally shows that take years to come out.
For example, “Bridgerton:” How are you going to take a year and a half to make a season and then split it into two separate parts? “Stranger Things” has taken three years to come out with a season five and it still doesn’t have an official release date.
“YOU” season 4 came out in 2023, which was (surprise, surprise) also split up into two parts. All of these shows are good in my opinion. They have an entertaining storyline and decent acting. These are fan favorite shows, but it gets to a point that people lose interest when you take years to make an eight to 10 episode season.
It seems like instead of making quality shows, they’re more focused on making money. I mean Netflix increases their prices every year. You can’t even have multiple accounts that aren’t within your household. Along with the new Netflix mobile games, Netflix added live events that always seem to crash, like the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight as well as the WWE Monday Night RAW. It feels like Netflix is trying to stay relevant with all of these bells and whistles instead of making quality content with quality actors.
Netflix has shows that are incredible but decide to cancel them because they “didn’t get enough attraction.” If anything, Netflix needs to listen to their audience and bring certain shows back, like “The Society,” “Everything Sucks” and “I Am Not Okay With This.” They drag the worst shows out. Meanwhile, the good ones are either limited series, take eons to be produced or are quickly canceled.
They spend their money making seasons upon seasons of poor TV shows and movies. Then when they see that a show is successful they run it into the ground with spin off after spin off, instead of making another show with the same great qualities. At this point Netflix is the new CW.
