10 Super Disappointing Netflix Original Series

There's this pervasive idea that the people who make YouTube videos are endlessly fascinating characters who deserve to have television shows made about them. This idea is wrong.

Haters Back Off is a comedy about a real life YouTube personality who parodies the concept of the talentless wannabe celebrity in her show Miranda Sings. This feels like a clever idea, if one that could easily be considered punching down in its choice of targets to ridicule.

But the problem is that the whole thing rides on the charm and likability of a YouTube performer (in this case, star Colleen Balinger). The show 100% doesn't work if you find her annoying, which it's almost impossible not to do.

And it seems like Haters Back Off falls into the same trap that often plagues Saturday Night Live stars when attempting to take a popular sketch and turn it into a feature length film -- what works in two minutes can't sustain a longer format and quickly grows tiresome.
