There is so much fucking nothing on Netflix.
There was something called Car Crash: Who's Lying on the list the other day, and from the description and image, it genuinely looks like a police training video that accidentally made it's way onto a mainstream streaming service.
Their documentaries are all utter dogshit as well, designed for people with an IQ of 80.
The only things still going for it are Mike Flanagan's stuff, 15 seasons of Taskmaster and the odd horror movie that I otherwise wouldn't have heard of. As good as Jellyfin is, it doesn't really have much in the way of recommendations.
It's because netflix' strategy has been to use the vast amounts of analytics they have to design shows that are so incredibly specialized and focused on targeting unseen metrics that they are entirely devoid of substance.
Even buying into their logic that one could do that, they essentially overfit the data. Find a trend? More trend more betterer more moneyer. Doesn't work very well.
fwiw, their official channel has uploaded 17 series of TMUK on youtube to date. along with all the three CoCs as well as numerous new year special one-offs, 2 series of TMNZ with the 3rd being released weekly, 1 series of TMAU, and full series of some scandinavian taskmasters.
