10 Most Expensive Netflix Shows & Whether They Paid Off
A huge budget doesn't automatically translate into high quality, so the streaming service has to be extra careful with its biggest projects.
Over the years, Netflix has grown from a relatively obscure new site to one of the largest streaming services on the market, allowing it to fund a wide range of original projects exclusive to the service.
With some of these original shows costing some pretty hefty sums to produce, one might wonder if these investments have actually paid off for Netflix, especially considering the company's reluctance to share information about its profits.
However, various reports and analyses can provide a more or less accurate picture of the true state of affairs, so let's take a look at ten of their most expensive series and whether they proved worthy of their budgets or turned into embarrassing flops.
Given that Netflix often prioritizes quantity over quality in order to maintain a steady stream of entertainment for its customers, there are plenty of projects of questionable value that have flopped badly and ended up being forgotten by viewers.
Still, judging by all this data, it seems that the most expensive projects are more often than not worthy endeavors that justify the significant amount of money spent on their production, even if some of them still fail to hit the mark.
