Since its introduction, Netflix has revolutionized the movie and television industry. What began as a small company that sent physical DVDs to subscribers has officially become a streaming giant. Since then, the company has produced many amazing shows, from “Stranger Things” to “The Crown.” However, not all shows on Netflix are created equal. Some are considered downright terrible, and to save you from accidentally watching these programs, we’ve compiled a list of the worst shows on Netflix.
Many genres are represented on this list. Various comedies, like “That 90s Show” and “Blockbuster,” held great promise but ultimately fell flat with viewers. There are also serious dramas, such as “Devil in Ohio” and “The Mist,” which were supposed to give us great stories and characters, but fans aren’t buying them. Don’t forget about the reality shows, like “Love Is Blind” and “Bill Nye Saves the World,” that are just not real or special enough.
This list isn’t only about new shows. There are many programs that have been around for years, like “Peppa Pig,” “Supergirl,” and “Zoey 101” that people simply don’t appreciate, and they make their opinions known on sites like IMDb.
Keep in mind that this list is subjective. Even though people may rate a show poorly, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have its fans. Don’t feel bad if one of your favorite shows makes the list. With that said, most of these programs are rated poorly for a reason, so it’s best to stay away. If you want to watch something you’ll really appreciate, check out this list of the best new comedies you can watch on TV – and many of them stream on Netflix.
