    Seriously?

    The Crown, Stranger Things, Unbelievable, Russian Doll (wow, just wow), Orange Is The New Black, Narcos, Narcos: Mexico, GLOW, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Ozark, Nobody Wants This, Altered Carbon, Dirk Gently, Mindhunters, The Queen's Gambit, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

    And that's just what I can remember off the top of my head. And that's my taste, there's more not to my taste like Squid Game, Wednesday, Bridgerton, etc. And not including the films, documentaries, shorts, etc. they done like Love, Death and Robots.

    Taste is not subjective. The critics (cc Metacritic, >>> Rotten Tomatoes) are usually right about TV/film.

    Decent Netflix TV: Maid, Unbelievable, Ozark, Narcos, Bloodline, Mindhunter, Black Mirror, Sweet Tooth.

    They average like one decent TV show every 18 months. It's an absolute disaster.

    It's at the top of my list.

    Incidentally I went look for the best limited series shows, but aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes do a poor job separating them from other TV shows. Right now I see "Watchmen: Season 1" and "Unbelievable: Season 1" which as far as I know were only meant to be one season. Yet Chernobyl and Mare of Easttown are labeled as Miniseries and Limited Series, respectively. What's the difference between the two labels? Why hasn't someone went back and updated the database? Why can't I filter by ongoing versus limited?

    I liked in that sense Unbelievable. Great miniseries.

    You should watch the Netflix series "Unbelievable" or read the true story it's based on:

    https://www.propublica.org/article/false-rape-accusations-an-unbelievable-story

    It's eye opening about how hard it is to be believed about even a "classic" masked stranger, home invasion rape.

    Having read that (and watched a couple of episodes of the Netflix adaption) I'm more likely to believe the original commenter's friend commited a rape and the victim was just compelled to deny it, possibly suffering twice.

    Are you saying Netflix hasn’t made quality shows that will last through 2039? I’d like to know which company you think has made close to the amount of quality shows Netflix has since 2014. Here’s part of a list I have for a content project. No company comes close to this output in recent history.

    House of Cards launched February 2013 (7 seasons, finished)

    Orange is the New Black launched July 2013 (7 seasons, finished)

    Stranger Things launched July 2016 (3 seasons, 1-2 more)

    —

    Dark (2 seasons, 3rd is last)

    Glitch (2 seasons, 3rd might never come)

    Russian Doll (1 season)

    Haunting of Hill House (1 season, anthology)

    American Vandal (2 seasons)

    Black Mirror (anthology, last season not that good)

    The Crown (3 seasons)

    When They See Us (mini-series, 2019)

    Unbelievable (just came out)

    —

    Glow (3 seasons)

    Kimmy Schmidt (4 seasons, finished)

    Arrested Development (they tried, hard to get it all back together after years of being done)

    Sex Education (1 season)

    Bojack Horseman (5 seasons?) #animated

    Mindhunter (2 seasons)

    The OA (2 seasons)

    Maniac (mini-series)

    Wet Hot American Summer (2 seasons, but season 1 is the top notch one)

    F is for Family (3? seasons) #animated

    Big Mouth (2? seasons) #animated

    —

    Documentary mini-series

    —

    Staircase

    Making a Murderer

    Evil Genius

    The Jinx

    Wild Wild West

    There’s more I’m missing and I didn’t include a number of shows Netflix helps finance but isn’t the main financier or producer or original place of distribution. Shows like Glitch.
