Now streaming is the real TV

The most viewed films of Netflix are all of an overwhelming mediocrity. A phrase perhaps too radical but that relies on significant real data. And above all, that has a background that gives to think when the platform is The indicutable number one In the competitive streaming market. What tells us about the general panorama of the audiovisual industry the debatable quality of its millionaire launches?

The list of infamy. The question caught the attention of analyst MG Siegler in Your Newsletter Spyglass: Netflix’s ten most viewed films In the first semester of 2025all with more than 50 million views, a couple with more than 100, had absolutely mediocre scores in Metascore. This is the list:

  1. Back to action: 46
  2. Fed up: 56
  3. My desire list: 49
  4. Extraterritorial: 38 (IMDB score)
  5. Havoc: 57
  6. Pets 2: 55
  7. Electric status: 30
  8. Counterattack: 60 (IMDB score)
  9. Ad vitam: 40
  10. Gru 4: My favorite villain: 52

It is convenient to make some appreciations: first, these are the most viewed films, but not necessarily belong to Netflix. Very notoriously, the two animation are not produced by the platform. Of course, the vast majority have been. Second, this list belongs to the United States: successes are often global, but again ‘Pets 2’ and ‘Gru 4’, for example, they have not passed through Netflix in Spain.

But who is you? Doesn’t those films despite the fog of the views of view? It has a lot to do with what we are talking about: they are films that many spectators have seen because of the continuous pressure made by the algorithm recommending them without rest and for The hook of an interpreter (Cameron Diaz, Jamie Foxx, Tom Hardy, Chris Pratt, Millie Bobby Brown … that aspect does dominated it Netflix), but its discreet quality makes it Let’s forget them shortly to see them and that they have hardly any tour on social networks or weeks after the premiere.

A problem that goes back over time. The Netflix problems with the quality of its great premieres It is an issue that is being discussed practically from the beginning of the platform, and that was accentuated when they began to produce very discreet quality blockbusters but with distributing and budgets of authentic first -line Hollywood premieres, such as’The invisible agent‘or’ red alert ‘. It is a policy that definitely distance from Netflix of competitors such as Prime Video (whose exclusive premieres are powerful, but not the backbone of its programming), HBO Max or Disney+ (which in both cases are nourished from the premieres of Warner and Disney in cinemas).

The artists argue. This situation has a peculiar reflection in Netflix’s relationship with the creators, with whom they are entering serious conflicts with the recent decision of stop off in cinemas Because total … for what? If they have those millions of visions in films that in Salas perhaps they would not endure more than two weeks: Puck mentioned The confrontation between Netflix and Margot Robbie, producer of the next version of ‘Borrascosas Cumbres’: either they pass through cinemas or will have to pay more money, which would mean something like a rate for skipping the rooms.

Greta Gerwig, director of ‘Barbie’ has also expressed her disagreement with this policy for her ‘Narnia’ films, and Daniel Craig had a similar encounter with Ted Sarandos in the promotion of ‘stabs in back 2’.

Netflix has to make him look … or not. Is Netflix aware that he has a problem? Or going beyond: Does Netflix have a problem? They are relatively cheap producing films (agree, ‘Electric state’ has not beenand coincidentally it is the only one that we can qualify as authentic critical and commercial fiasco on the list), they generate interest and subscriptions. Gone is that career to become a Major And in which Apple is now participating quite successful. Netflix seems interested in going to theirs, although the figures of the scoring aggregators do not accompany. Because financial results do.
