For me it’s felt like years of excessive mid from Netflix in particular.

There are some good shows out there, but it feels like there’s 2-3 shows worth watching a year at this point, and that’s across all streaming services.

Agreed. Our household rotates through streaming services. We'll watch the content we want on it in a month or 3, then drop it. In 6 months or a year later we'll come back if there's more content. If not, we don't re-subscribe until there is.

This is the way. Just cancel. You have other things to do.

this + the risk that anything vaguely interesting will be given the axe (often within weeks of the first season being released with positive critical & audience reception)
