I'm a very long time Netflix subscriber (>25 years) and am dispirited about their diminishing catalog of offerings. Lots of derivative dreck now (how many time travel stories are enough?), and when a creative but challenging show is presented they cancel them right away these days, not allowing an audience time to develop.
There are a few short lived series we like a lot. Kaos, Loudermilk, Queen's Gambit come to mind, but I spend much more time looking elsewhere these days.

I've been thinking the exact same thing, Netflix is looking more like Prime every day   I struggle to find anything good lately.  I recently rewatched The Queen's Gambit for I think the fourth time because there was nothing else worth watching.   I tuned into the world darts championship the other day because nothing else was on, and I don't even know the rules or scoring system for darts   Now darts are listed as my number one option on my home screen.

I can go for months and months without finding anything interesting on Netflix. Luckily there are some free viewing options:

All the shows on PBS stream for free for a couple of months before they are moved to the paid Passport option. A Passport donation is only $5 a month and has excellent dramas like Broadchurch and Sherlock and the award winning The Desert Speaks.
Walking with Dinosaurs is one of the best series to stream on any service. The 6 episode Season 2 is streaming for free now

The UofA Astronomy program builds mirrors for the largest telescopes in the world and collaborates on space missions. AZPM has an excellent documentary about a recent mission:
OSIRIS-REx: To Bennu and Back - NASA, asteroids, and a lifelong dream (full documentary)

The YouTube channel DUST has a huge library of science fiction shorts and some are pretty good, worthy of any premium streaming service. All for free.
