That's the thing... Netflix is skilled at producing "good" shows but not necessarily "great" shows.

The third season of Black Mirror is pretty much the only content that I'll rewatch over and and over like I would, say, The Wire.

But if I want to veg out and watch something "pretty good" stuff like Master of None and Love are decent.

I hear you. How ever how long netflix have been producing content ? Which content producer can be said to regularly produce exceptional content ? I would say none. It's usually a blip on a consistent and durable production of good content on the long run.

And a matter of taste too. I consider SG1 and Buffy my top 10 while a lot of people would just find them "meh".

We need also to consider that netflix content has one quality: it's refreshing. The OA, Luke Cage, 3% all had personal taste.

I've never seen an HBO show I didn't think was excellent. The Pacific wasn't as good as Band of Brothers, but that's not exactly a damning statement.
