I don't like this. Netflix rarely creates excellent content; instead, it frequently produces mediocre or worse content. Will the same happen for Warner? Are cinemas now second behind streaming?

Edit: I agree Netflix has good Originals. But most are from the early days when they favored quality over quantity. It is sad to see that they reversed that. They have much funding power and should give it to great art that really sticks, has ambitions and something to tell, and values my time instead of mediocrity.

Lots of good lesser-known stuff on Netflix if you wade through the crap:

* The Devil's Plan

* Alice in Borderlands

* Extraordinary Attorney Woo

* Brassic

* Back to Life

* Intelligence

* Black Doves

* Top Boy

* Mo

* The Breakthrough

* Borgen

* Love Death & Robots

* Scavenger's Reign

As well as well-known stuff like Stranger Things and Squid Game as a sibling comment mentioned.

[Edit: replies point out some of these are bought rather than produced but I think it still counts for overall quality]

They licensed Brassic, it was filmed for Sky One, not Netflix.

Same with Extraordinary Attorney Woo and a lot of "originals" on netflix. They'll just buy the rights to air something and then slap their name on it like they made it. That said, I actually appreciate them looking for good media produced overseas and buying up the rights to those shows to bring them to the US. It's a good thing (although it'd be nice if put some effort in making sure there are always quality subs) but it can cause some people to think netflix is producing more good shows than they actually are.
