Netflix advertises "106 new shows added this week".
100 of them are from India. WTF?

For every A-list movie, they have to pad their content with a dozen shitty movies.

Yeah. Having to wade through all the Bollywood films and shitty B-movies is definitely getting worse/more noticeable.

Are there any about call centers and technical support? You know where the crazed American travels to India and raises hell. I would watch that.

A dozen? Ha!
It's like redbox, for every movie you've even HEARD OF, good, bad and in between, there's 100 you haven't.

Maybe if I dumped Netflix I could afford hearing aids.

Yeah, Netflix has been slowly going downhill since they lost Starz several years ago. Used to be we watched a lot of Netflix. Now relatively little. Just finished Hell On Wheels (which was an AMC series, I would note) and found nothing new of interest.
Most of their own content seems to be targeted to sell on a mix of CGI, graphic violence, nudity and sex, rather than well-scripted stories with intelligent plot lines and good acting. The only one my wife and I actually liked enough to get all the way though a full "season" was Ozark.
In fact, upon reflection: Of the number of series' we've truly liked, and there've been several, only one, Ozark, was a Netflix Original.
Oh yeah... Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was funny the first season. Went right into the crapper in the second.
If they keep going in this direction I imagine we'll eventually drop them.

Concur. I liked that show a lot and hope it has more seasons.
