My best guess is that Netflix makes its original/shared rights programming for specific segments of its user base.

Some shows of theirs have really resonated with me, and others I can't even begin to approach.

However, that's just specific shows... with regular television, I'd feel that way about specific channels because they're targeting an entire userbase that doesn't include my tastes.

Netflix seems to cater to everyone, being extremely eclectic with what it holds in its catalogue, but when it comes time to make a series---they don't do the typical thing of watering down a series to try for broad appeal but rather they go for just to a specific niche.

And that's a good thing - I'd rather skip half of the shows and truly enjoy the rest instead of having to endure an endless sea of mediocrity.
