Netflix has a lot of content to offer. As much as we may get gems like Stranger Things and Squid Game, we also get some not-so-great stuff as well. Things that aren’t really gems, more like big failures really. There are some really low rated Netflix original series out there for sure.
From poor production quality to subpar storytelling and bad acting, these are the top ten worst rated Netflix originals of all time:
5. Hard Cell
Although audiences seem to really like Hard Cell, and even gave it an 88%, critics just don’t agree and ended up giving this one a 20%. Wow. Harsh.
Hard Cell released back in April 2022 and is about a woman’s prison governor named Laura Willis. It’s filmed in a mockumentary-style and follows the life of Willis and inmates at the Essex prison.
Creator Catherine Tate plays five different roles, which seemed to garner some criticism. Additionally, critics didn’t find the humor too humorous.
4. Disjointed
This show is basically about weed. That’s about what I can say.
Just kidding. Not really, but anyways, Disjointed is a story about a woman named Ruth Whitefeather Feldman who runs a cannabis dispensary in LA with the help of her son and some others. The show ran for one season and was then canceled in 2018.
Critics really didn’t seem to like it and didn’t think it was a good sitcom either, which is probably why they gave it a 19%.
3. Hoops
Hoops is just one of those shows that really didn’t make the cut as far as Netflix originals come. The show received a critic score of 14% and an audience score of 52%. Hoops follows the story of basketball coach Ben Hopkins, but relied mostly on vulgar humor to meet the comedy checklist, and even then, it just wasn’t very good.
The show was canceled by Netflix back in 2020 after running for one season only.
2. Insatiable
At just an 11% audience score, Insatiable is a show about an overweight teenager named Patty Bladell who is constantly bullied for her weight. However, she gets punched in the jaw and is forced to go on an all-liquid diet, becomes thin and tries to get revenge against her bullies.
Insatiable lasted for two seasons on Netflix before being canceled. Before its release, Insatiable was criticized for being fat-phobic and fat-shaming. Additionally, the show was full of stereotypes and bad writing, which didn’t help its case either.
1. Real Rob
If you ever wondered what a 0% looks like on Rotten Tomatoes, here you go. Real Rob was apparently just that bad. The story of Real Rob talks about Rob Schneider who plays himself in a fictionalized version of his Hollywood life with his real wife Patricia Schneider as his wife in the show. It actually somehow got two seasons.
Critics really didn’t like its satire and supposed stereotypes against Mexicans and disabled people. However, audiences did give it an 82%, so that probably was what helped it get another season. But man, 0% is harsh.
