A guideline to watching Netflix Original movies

[Zero]

If the movie does not fall within the following categories:

• Of foreign origin, usually action-oriented
• Funded by Netflix with a known (competent) director or writer as opposed a known (capable) cast

There is a 98% chance of the movie's quality ranging from completely mediocre to absolutely awful, neither of which being worth the time spent watching nor the bandwidth required to stream it.

Use this as a guide moving forward to prevent wasting time with yet another lackluster Netflix Original. Don't do it to yourself or your loved ones! It's not worth it.

I said I would be done with them when Message From The King with Chadwick left me with the stoneface throughout, but after Cam disappointed and See You Yesterday being complete trash, I'm officially done with Netflix movies if they don't fit the criteria.

Now that I think about it I don't think I've ever seen a netflix original movie. I know the original shows are known to have decent-great first seasons but get progressively worse each season(narcos is my exception). Im thinking of cutting netfllix since they will soon lose disney and it seems prices go up every 4-5 months.

You check Mudbound and What Happened To Monday?

Mudbound (2017)
Two men return home from World War II to work on a farm in rural Mississippi, where they struggle to deal with racism and adjusting to life after war.

Dee Rees

Virgil Williams (screenplay by), Dee Rees (screenplay by)

In 2018, Dee became the first Black woman nominated for an Oscar in the Best Adapted Screenplay category for her highly-acclaimed film Mudbound (2017). The film, starring Jason Mitchell, Carey Mulligan and Mary J. Blige, tells the story of two men returning home from World War II, struggling to deal with racism and post-war life and was nominated for four Oscars, two Golden Globes, and received over 100 nominations between 2017 and 2018.





What Happened to Monday (2017)
In a world where families are limited to one child due to overpopulation, a set of identical septuplets must avoid being put to a long sleep by the government and dangerous infighting while investigating the disappearance of one of their own.
Director:
Tommy Wirkola
Writers:
Max Botkin, Kerry Williamson
Tommy Wirkola was born on December 6, 1979 in Alta, Norway. He is a writer and director, known for What Happened to Monday (2017), Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead (2014) and Dead Snow (2009).

I might check Mudbound out (AFTER this set of films I have queued up), but I'm good on that other one. Netflix can't be trusted.

Facs bro. I searched for about 20mins looking for something.

I cut Netflix a year ago. I’ll use my brothers account when a comedy special drops but that’s about it.

Netflix be doing too much. Green light for every bum idea just to say they have content.

Some of you who are into film making should hit them up.

 

[obarth]

Competent directors and writers tend to make good movies and film-making abroad is better than in the U.S. I think you just cracked the Da Vinci code with this one, breh

I pay for it. What type of shows you into?

I dont know lol. It depends on the day. I liked the show "You" that was on there...most of the content is things i've seen and have no interest in seeing again at the moment or shyt i would never even want recommended to me. all the stand up comedy on there looks terrible.
