The 18 worst Netflix original movies of all time, according to critics

Netflix's strategy for original content has proven time and again that the streaming service values quantity - sometimes over quality.

In December, the company released the Will Smith-led movie "Bright" into a critical bloodbath. But Netflix CEO Reed Hastings later brushed off the negative reviews by calling the film a commercial success and critics "disconnected from the mass appeal."
