The Netflix logo on a poster is literally a stamp of bad quality. Like 90% of netflix originals are absolute trash.

The series are also getting canceled after 1 season. I stopped watching Netflix originals just like you.

I used to think so too, y watch a show that's gonna get cancelled.

Then I realized there do exist some good shows that only had very few seasons: pushing daisies, doll hiuse, sense 8. The problem is many Netflix shows are bad...

Most shows are bad; Netflix is neither more nor less consistent with Sturgeon’s Law than any other network. They probably have far more bad shows than any single broadcast or cable channel simply because they aren't limited by the economy of time slots in how many shots they can fire to see what sticks.

Isn't that the formula? Acquire or create a series on the cheap, and axe the series instead of paying the actors/creators a higher rate for additional seasons?

More isn't necessarily better?

That depends on whether Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger or not.

sometimes even when watching a trailer without seeing the logo i still get a hunch that its a netflix original. i dunno what it is, maybe a combination of the camera gear they use, lighting, actors I've never seen before, the bland dialog
