Echoes drags a thin idea across seven exhausting episodes about twin sisters who swap lives for no believable reason. The story is stuffed with filler, plot holes, and dialogue that goes in circles until you just stop caring who’s who. It feels less like a mystery and more like a never-ending Lifetime movie that forgot when to end. | © Netflix
Inside Man had real potential, thanks to Stanley Tucci and Atkin Estimond’s sharp duo that easily steals every scene. But the plot collapses under its own nonsense, full of unbelievable coincidences and characters making absurd choices just to keep things moving. It’s frustrating to watch something so well-acted get dragged down by writing that feels made up on the spot. | © Netflix
Another Life wants to be a smart sci-fi epic, but plays out like a high school drama set in space. The crew, supposedly the best Earth has to offer, acts more like a bunch of impulsive teenagers than trained professionals. Add in cheap-looking effects and baffling writing choices, and it’s no wonder most viewers gave up before the first episode ended. | © Netflix
Girlboss tries to glamorize the rise of Nasty Gal’s founder but ends up feeling more like a six-hour ad than a real story. The show confuses sass with depth, turning Sophia into an unlikable caricature of a “rebellious” millennial. Despite Britt Robertson’s effort, the writing is shallow, the tone smug, and the entire thing feels like a painfully forced empowerment pitch. | © Netflix
Virgin River looks warm and comforting, but the story logic is a mess. Months pass like days, pregnancies stay frozen in time, and the medical details are downright absurd. Between missing doctors, wild plot twists, and zero realism, it’s hard to take anything in this town seriously anymore. | © Netflix
Partner Track tries to mix legal drama with social commentary, but it never quite finds its focus. The story starts messy and hard to follow, and even when it settles, it doesn’t seem to know what it wants to say. A few moments land, especially around race and friendship, but weak writing keeps it from ever becoming something meaningful. | © Netflix
Manifest kicks off with a great premise, but somewhere along the way, it completely loses its sense of purpose. Plotlines appear and disappear, characters act like major events never happened, and the story just drifts without any real payoff. | © Netflix
Pretty Smart tries to be a quirky sitcom but ends up painfully flat instead. The laugh track can’t save the weak jokes, and even a capable cast like Emily Osment’s can’t do much with such a hollow script. It’s one of those shows that thinks it’s clever and funny, but really, it’s just pretty dumb. | © Netflix
Sexy Beasts had a fun idea and some truly impressive makeup work, but the execution misses the mark completely. The show preaches about inner beauty while casting nothing but conventionally attractive people, making its whole message feel fake. With frantic editing, shallow conversations, and zero emotional depth, it ends up as more spectacle than substance. | © Netflix
Richie Rich isn’t completely awful, but it’s far from great. Macaulay Culkin gives a lively performance, and the supporting cast adds some humor, yet the story feels too familiar and the jokes too childish. It moves so fast that even its nice message about money not buying happiness gets lost in the rush. | © Netflix
Hype House feels like a bad parody of influencer culture, but it’s real, and that’s the problem. The show follows a group of TikTok stars who mostly sit around arguing about fame and money while doing very little of substance. It’s a painfully empty glimpse into a world where clout replaces talent, leaving viewers wondering why this ever made it to Netflix. | © Netflix
Insatiable wanted to be bold and satirical, but it never quite figured out what kind of show it was. The tone jumps wildly between dark comedy, teen drama, and revenge fantasy, leaving viewers more confused than entertained. Even with flashes of potential, the clumsy writing and mixed messaging turned most people off before the story ever found its footing. | © Netflix
Snowflake Mountain attempts to present itself as an inspiring wilderness challenge, but ultimately comes across as mean-spirited and tone-deaf. Instead of teaching or motivating, the hosts spend most of the time mocking the participants and flexing their “tough love” attitude. What could’ve been a fun, self-discovery experiment turns into a cringe-filled show built on humiliation rather than growth. | © Netflix
Real Rob feels like Rob Schneider’s personal vanity project that nobody asked for. It’s awkward, unfunny, and painfully self-indulgent, more about him showing off than actually entertaining anyone. Even fans who like Schneider struggled to find a reason to keep watching this bizarre mix of bad writing and forced humour. | © Netflix
Riverdale started as a dark teen drama with promise, but somewhere along the way, it completely lost the plot, literally. By the third season, the show was juggling dozens of wild storylines that barely connected, from cults to serial killers to musical numbers that made no sense. What used to feel mysterious now just feels chaotic, like the writers forgot these “teens” were ever supposed to be in high school. | © Netflix
Not every Netflix show is a hit – some are so bad they make people question why they still pay for the subscription. These series started with promise but crashed hard under terrible writing, bizarre plots, or pure cringe. Here are 15 shows so bad they actually made viewers quit Netflix.
