7 Problems With Netflix Nobody Wants To Admit

1. Most Of The Dramas Are Too Long

One of the great things about Netflix is the fact that it drops all the episodes of its latest series at once, meaning you can binge-watch your way through an entire new show in a weekend, or take your time with it if you want (and aren't fussed about spoilers, obvs). Few shows on TV garner as much hype as that first Friday-Monday new big Netflix series delirium.

However, binge-watching does help cover up a major flaw in the majority of Netflix's dramas: they're too long. Most of them are 13 episodes - and when you take a step back, spending 13 hours of a weekend watching one season of TV is nuts - and few have the story to sustain it. Even the best Netflix dramas, such as Orange is the New Black and Jessica Jones, suffer from 'Netflix Drift', or in other words noticeable pacing problems that come with trying to fill 13 hours with a story that doesn't necessarily need that much time. We've seen a couple of particularly big examples this year with 13 Reasons Why and Iron Fist, but it's an issue that dates back through all the Netflix Marvel shows, and down to the original Original House of Cards.

They are prepared on occasion to deviate from this formula, such as with Stranger Things or The OA, but most still revert to the 13 episode type, and they'd be better off cutting most of them down. It'd improve bad shows, and could make good ones great.
