Kinda sad that Netflix opted for quantity over quality. It shows with all the inane sequels like Murder mystery 2, Extraction 2 and with the idea of just filling an uninteresting script with some stars to make the numbers like Red Notice. And many of the top 50 shows reflect just that. The last Netflix original I watched and liked was The Queen's Gambit.

You should try "Obliterated", its hilarious, it doesn't take itself aerious, it plays with almost all TV tropes we know (in a good way), references everything from Rambo to Die Hard and has an eye for detail (every scene hints at something or is important in some regard). Also, episodes 2-8, each roughly an hour, cover an in-series time frame of 7 hours, which is a bice touch. Throw in good acting, good dialogs and liekable characters and you uave a great show.

Bonus: No brand name stars in it neither.

Obliterated was universally panned by critics. But so have many shows which were panned in their era, and are now considered classics.

So would you recommend watching it?

Or, to look at it another way, they're giving their paying customers what they want.

They are not. They removed the five star rating because they thought people lied to themselves, but in reality they just couldn’t handle the data.

What they will give you is what I call the lowest common denominator of shows.

Or, to look at it another way, they are giving the profitable customers what they want.

It is clear Netflix don't want me as a paying customer, and that makes sense. At least in the short term.

But they are not giving people what they want. Netflix recommendations are notoriously bad and Netflix is not all that successful lately with its own shows. Even when they have actually good shows you would like, you rarely find them through Netflix recommendations - you need someone to tell you about the show.
