Netflix review: Slowly went from great to crap

Netflix slowly went from great to crap.

It used to feel like there was always something new worth watching. Good movies, strong original series, interesting new releases. Now I can scroll through Netflix for a long time and find very little that I actually want to watch.

There is plenty of content, but quantity is not the same as quality. Too much of the catalog feels like filler. New movie releases seem weak, worthwhile new series are harder to find, and now Netflix is adding what look like low-budget video podcasts and similar programming.

That is not what I subscribed to Netflix for.

The problem is not that Netflix lacks content. It is that increasingly little of that content feels worth paying for. A huge library is meaningless if most of it is stuff I have no interest in watching.

Netflix was once the streaming service I could count on to have something worthwhile. Now I often open it, browse for a while, find nothing, and leave.

The service did not suddenly become bad. It slowly went from great to crap.
