Netflix has no idea or confidence in how to evaluate what a good show is, so they have to wait for user data to tell them.
But of course their shit tier layout makes 80% of their catalogue hard to find, so unless they're really pushing a show a production can easily fall through the cracks.
Yeah I remember always browsing Netflix and seeing the same shit that I had no interest in showing up every time I looked for a show to watch. Shit that I was purposefully ignoring for months and months. But then I learn about an interesting show somewhere else, search for it on Netflix, and find a good show has been somewhere in the shadows the entire time with 4+ seasons and I had never come across it a single time while browsing forever and never finding anything to watch.
