I generally don't respond to comments as unconstructive as this one, but I'll make an exception. I've added the overall show scores from Rotten Tomatoes (critics/audience) to maybe broaden your perspective a little.

- Narcos: 89%/94%

- House of Cards: 77%/76%

- Russian Doll: 97%/87%

- Ozark: 81%/92%

- Stranger Things: 93%/91%

- Tiger King: 86%/84%

- Dear White People: 95%/50%

- The Witcher: 67%/92%

- The Umbrella Academy: 82%/87%

- The Crown: 89%/90%

- Space Force: 38%/75%

- The Alienist: 74%/84% (added by request)

The only one not well-received by critics was Space Force (which audiences liked), and the only one even close to "OK" according to audiences was DWP (which critics liked).

Except for those two, every other show on this list had a supermajority of both critics and audience view it favorably.




Are you seriously using Rotten Tomatoes? The site that gave like 100 to Cuties and LOU2? I wish you had not answered back.

Anything else less than 80% in audience score(the "critics" there are beyond redemption) is a steaming pile of crap.


Feel free to update the list with ratings from any aggregator you prefer.

Also, when you say LOU2, do you mean The Last of Us II? I'd like to point out that Rotten Tomatoes is a TV/film ratings website and so does not have a rating for that video game. As such, if that is what you meant by LOU2, then you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

RT is also an aggregator of reviews, so any rating on RT of a film like Cuties is not "RT's rating", but rather a score calculated from professional TV/film critics. If you think most critics are bad at doing their job then fair enough, but this entire subthread was about a claim that Netflix has terrible programming compared to "Hollywood". Not sure who you think is better equipped to judge such things besides professional critics, except of course your estimable self.
