What's odd is watching some show that was made prior to 2016. Most of them start normal, then by the seasons from 2017 on, you can feel the cultural subversion sneaking in.
They start saying things like, "white privileg." They start having token gay characters, that don't help the story line. It's REALLY obvious.
I've watched a few shows that just add in stuff like that, something like a person is all of a sudden bi-sexual and gains a new same-sex love interest. It's an instant face-palm. But I did write a whole article on this is why we hate woke movies. They're so pushy and it's really, really obvious.

Netflix receives millions in subsidies per year stolen from the people of California in the form of tax credits which is typical for the film industry in that state. They were largely allowed to keep working while millions of Californians were told their livelihood was “not essential.”
Plus Reed Hastings gave millions to Newsom’s Recall campaign in 2021. Recall elections in the state are not subject to the same campaign contribution rules/limits as standard elections so Team Newsom had virtually unlimited money to spend on their propaganda.
Netflix has been since considered “non-essential” in my book. I canceled their service the moment I learned of Hastings’ Newsom fetish.
Most of what passes for legitimate entertainment is inferior or foolish and only caters to or exploits people’s weaknesses. Avoid being one of the mob who indulges in such pastimes. Your life is too short and you have important things to do. Be discriminating about what images and ideas you permit into your mind. If you yourself don’t choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest. It is the easiest thing in the world to slide imperceptibly into vulgarity. But there’s no need for that to happen if you determine not to waste your time and attention on mindless pap.
Take a vacation from NetFlix! (I did) Although NetFlix is "king" of the streaming services, there are more than enough other ones at lower costs that you can relax with.
I am with you John, I canned Netflix for it's ideological bent and found that there is way more than enough other options to entertain me. Nothing Netflix produces has that much value that I need to patronize them. I can read Barbara on Substack or watch an occasional movie on Amazon Prime, or go watch one of my grandkids sports contests....Lot's of options!

Heaven forbid we actually read a book now and then too! {grin}
Last time I used Netflix I had to mail back the DVD. ;)
