The 5 (2) Worst Netflix Original Movies of 2019 So Far

I feel like Netflix used to produce only good shows and movies when they first started making original content but lately big yikes

Btw is Marianne good

They used to go for quality but several years ago they made a big noticeable change to where they were all about quantity

They just throw everything against the wall and get lucky that a few things stick

So it wasn't just me. I used to watch anything with a Netflix original logo and now I wait for someone to recommend it or check out the reviews bc I can't trust them anymore smh

They have. Clearly they need to watch Electric Boogaloo the documentary about Cannon films.

They just want the library at this point, the hell with if it’s any good, cause everyone has gotten on the streaming train and licensing has gone up

i enjoyed marianne too! some scenes were genuinely spooky.

marianne was great! so disappointed that emma was not gay tho. i was lowkey (ok fine, highkey) shipping her and camcam

the cinematography was beautiful too. def would visit that town irl

Also should I watch in the tall grass

No.

it's so damn dark, you can't see shit for most of it

lol it was like that with daredevil and a lot of Netflix shows, I s2g they are trying to make my eyesight worse with all this strain

Okay I thought it was me! I was like Damn, my eyes are so bad, can't see shit! Ugh I turned the brightness up for some scenes lol

I’m halfway through it right now and I feel like the plot is holding the movie back? Like they get lost in the grass due to unseen forces - cue screaming in a cornfield for 120 min.

It's okay. I enjoyed it but there were some parts that were weak and straight up too much. If you enjoy Stephen King's perchance of fun but ultimately weird for its own sake content, you might like it

It is not good

Unless you liked the movies on this list

no imo it was very anticlimactic and intense for no reason

No, it's terrible.

the trailer for it looked so stupid imo

it sucks, just read the short story it's supposed to be based off of.

No it was horrible

Also, this is kind of a shit year for movies in general. So many that are just pretty decent or straight up bad, I've only got a couple that I've really loved.

Which ones did you love?

My top 5 would be something like

Parasite
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Toy Story 4
Booksmart
The Farewell

but I didn't even love The Farewell as much as I expected.

Omg yes, truly a shit year thus far.

Only have a handful of movies that I actually really liked. I’m ready for Oscar season movies to come out, save me, please!

I only started Red Sea for Chris but I couldn't finish it. I don't even feel like I need to thanks to gifs.

Tall Girl was cute, I guess. But I found it hard to believe she was considered a loser? I mean, yea she's tall but she's also very pretty. Idk, maybe my average height ass don't understand lol.

6’2 for a girl is really polarizing in school unfortunately, there was a girl that tall in my middle school and everyone’s first words to her were always about her height

We had a guy who had the opposite problem in high school, he was probably like 4’11 and everyone would constantly just be like “you’re really fucking short”

Kids suck lol

Oh no! I guess I never witnessed it. There were a few tall girls in my school who rocked with the cool crowd or the athletes but maybe it wasn't 6'2 levels. Lol I forgot that's how tall the character was. Ooops.

Kids bully anyone who stands out

I didn't get it. I knew a ton of girls over 6 feet in high school.

My current gf is 6ft and my last gf was 5’11 and people comment on it a lot honestly. My gf said she wasn’t the tallest girl in her school because everyone else was Dutch farmers but yeah 🤷🏾‍♀️

I'm 5'10 and i've had some really weird as fuck comments. I'm not even that tall.

i just wanna know like... why/how are they so terrible? like who's in charge of greenlighting and putting millions into these awful screenplays?

That's the million dollar question. Most Netflix Originals are Syfy level bad, except it spans all genres and unlike Syfy they're actually trying for the most part.

Netflix now kinda reminds me of the big studios during the late 50s/60s - they were running out of money so they were letting every young kid with a camera shoot something under them. But that's kinda the opposite of Netflix now - they have the money to produce great content but they just keep throwing things against the wall and wanna grab the most recognizable face and throw them in a disjointed or clichéd mess, getting winners every once in a while. So idkkkk

/MAH FEELINGS

well they're saying netflix is going to be in trouble with all the streaming services launching next year so i wonder if it has anything to do with that..

I don't know but they have my dream job and they clearly don't deserve it.

I saw Downton Abbey.

TBH it wasn't that bad but I was never a fan of the show and watching it was an intensely mediocre experience. One thing I thought was really strange was this whole "stand by your abusive man" undercurrent which showed up in 2 subplots. WTF.

lol if you weren't a fan of the show why did you see it? It's literally just 2 hours of fanservice.

And I get that the Princess Mary subplot was maybe abusive but what was the second one?

My mom wanted to see it!

The princess Mary plotline and the one between the servant who didn't care for the royal family and who was engaged. [Spoiler (click to open)]
Her fiancé smashing the furnace because she was nice to the plumber wasn't a sign of passion or whatever that's like a classic warning that a man is going to become abusive. I was so grossed out when she found out and gave that little speech about how she's ready to marry him now. So much media written by men and aimed at women is like this where they portray violence as "romantic".

polar was awful but watching vanessa hudgens try to act is always fun so i'd agree its worth a half-hazard watch

icon love <333

*haphazard

my bad i was high

Did you really? Ugh

Netflix has made throw a bunch of money at celebrities to generate content, let them do whatever the fuck and stream it a thriving genre. Wine Country being a prime example of that where if there was someone else to oversee things and keep shit on track it could have been fine but instead it feels like a bunch of recognizable people doing a bunch of disjointed shit and calling it a movie.

totally agreed!

wine country was SO BAD. to me all these originals just always seem to be missing something.

I had The Silence on in the background last weekend and it was predictable but fine.
In The Tall Grass was much worse

i really wonder about their quality control, they put out so much crap lately

It's really baffling to me because everyone has shopped projects to Netflix the past few years, so it's not like they don't have a lot of really great things to choose from.

I miss the old star ratings. It was so much easier to sort thru content. :|

I miss the Not Interested button.

It's been so long, I forgot that button even existed.

I have difficulty digging around for something to watch that isn't produced by Netflix.

Most of the time now I use Netflix for background noise when falling asleep. The soothing voice of David Attenborough narrating a BBC nature documentary really helps me to catch some ZZzzzs.

Before they ditched the star ratings I thought we'd get a half star option, what a fool I was.

The I-Land is getting savaged.

I didn’t hate tall girl tbh, I just considered it a made for tv high school movie and it was fine for what it was

It wasn’t GOOD don’t get me wrong lol but it at least held my attention

It was weird how rich they all seemed to be though

Red Sea Diving Resort was just more thoroughly mediocre than outright BAD. Polar and The Silence were just offensively fucking terrible tho.

The worst thing I've seen on Netflix all year was Another Life. Holy fucking shit what a terrible series. Literally everything was bad. There was not one positive quality about the series other than the fact that it eventually ended. It is the worst thing I have ever seen on Netflix and I voluntarily watched all of Hemlock Grove so I'm not new to the dregs.

me the entire time tbh

Ok but this actually makes me want to watch it because I can't believe there's something worse than fucking Hemlock Grove.

another life... >:( i blocked this abomination completely from my mind

i couldn't believe they were serious with that spaceship crew. the screechy acting, the unprofessional assholes, that one girl who kept literally swearing and yelling at everyone ~*sassily*~ in every scene, the boring as fuck plot with the husband and daughter omfg

it felt like a shitty parody but it wasn't

Tell me what to watch on Netflix bc my recommendations menu is not helping me

At all

raising dion!

I second this recommendation. I binged it with my dad who does not understand binging and hates American TV. But we both loved it.

Dark
Rotten
Jailbirds
The Bodyguard
Scott & Bailey

If you enjoy anime or are at least willing to try an anime, One Punch Man is pretty hilarious.
