ON NETFLIX AND MEDIOCRITY (BY WAY OF A TINY DETAIL IN RUSSIAN DOLL)

Natasha represents the series as a whole here. I don't have a personal vendetta against Natasha, or, if I do, it's not a sincere one.

Netflix Originals, from what I’ve seen, are almost uniformly mediocre. Full disclosure: I have definitely watched far fewer of these things than you (“you” is almost everyone alive right now, I think) and have given up on most after one or two episodes, but the same below-average stink rises from everything I’ve seen and, in discussing Netflix series with those who have watched a good lot of them, I find, even though folks willingly binge these things all the way through, once finished they commonly assess them as no more than “fine” or “not bad” (that is when they’re not claiming they’re the best things ever made–for like a week).

In other words, I’m basing the following on very little and, as I don’t REALLY want to make this an extensive takedown of Netflix because that would take a lot of work and force me to watch a lot more of their shows, I’m going to just shit an opinion half-assedly out into the web, much like Netflix does with their Originals.
