Netflix seems to be a force to be reckoned with, creating hit after hit program and drawing endless praise from its fan base.

However, after this year with countless flops from “Fuller House” to “Orange is the New Black” season three, it is becoming clearer that as perfect as they may seem, the service has its flaws. Netflix has in fact released some failures that have managed to slide under most people’s radars.
Here are some of Netflix’s worst.

“Between”
“Between” is a Netflix series shared with the Canadian network City. The show is about a town in which everyone over the age of 21 dies and the kids that remain in the town are forced to try to keep things in order as the government quarantines them.

The show stars Jennette McCurdy (“Sam and Cat”) and Jesse Carere (“Skins”). McCurdy has the acting skill of a fourth grade drama student in a clear attempt for her to try and remove herself from the children’s programming corner that she had backed herself into. Whether it is just the scenes she is given, the choices of the director or McCurdy’s abiltiy, most of the time she just appears to be standing around, unsure of what she is supposed to be doing.

Carere, on the other hand, sounds like a young Jake Gyllenhaal with the appeal of sundried cabbage. Anytime he comes to screen, viewers are force to listen to him whisper the majority of his line and most end up losing interest in the story of the episode because of it.

“Richie Rich”
Did anyone know about Netflix’s attempt to revive the character Richie Rich?

No.

For those unfamiliar with the character, it’s about a boy who’s rich.
Enough said.

Netflix’s “Richie Rich” is about a boy turned trillionaire after he finds a way to harvest energy from vegetables. He uses that money to move his father, his sister and himself to a mansion filled with everything a child would love, including a robot maid.

The show features all the troupes of a typical children’s sitcom, a kid and his friends trying to have fun, an older sister who hates him and more of the same garbage that has been shoved down people’s throats for years. If “Richie Rich” had it’s money coming from the shows originality, it would be as wealthy as a half eaten moldy sandwich.

“Arrested Development”
This may be a little controversial to put on the list, but season four deserves to be here. Netflix’s desire to bring popular shows back from the dead seems to be a double edged sword, because even though people think it’s what they want, they slowly realize that they were wrong.

“Arrested Development” follows the story of the Bluths, a formerly wealthy family that struggles to deal with each other. Season four falls into the habit of many revieved shows and just makes the jokes that people know from the original.
People want more than nostalgia in a program, they want actual content. The season picks up speed toward the end, but overall the stories struggle to keep viewers attention and live up to what it once was.

Netflix is not perfect and viewers should always expect perfection. Networks have always struggled to find shows that people will love and just because Netflix has had a string of success does not mean they are not exempt from this idea.
Netflix will always have to try when they don’t, viewers will be able to tell.
