Motherfucker, that's what all streaming services are. The massive amounts of just absolute garbage that most of them are putting out is ridiculous. Just because a show here or there that catches your attention gets popular doesn't mean suddenly they're the epitome of highbrow entertainment.

Netflix has to churn out more and more original content (with the obvious result being a lot of it being mediocre) cause everyone and their mother decided they wanted their own streaming service, so they clawed their streaming rights away from Netflix.

That doesn't mean Netflix is a good guy, by any means, but they're hardly alone at the bottom of the barrel.
