Checking the score of a film on Rotten Tomatoes before diving into it has become an involuntary response for a lot of us. More often than not, the Tomatometer saves us from indulging in trashy films and helps us handpick good ones that we might genuinely enjoy.
Netflix has been releasing a lot of Original content over the years, ranging from films and documentaries to series and reality shows that have all garnered their respective fan following. In 2021, the streamer saw monumental success with many of its releases topping charts and winning public favour.
Nearly a decade after reigning supreme among the list of streaming services, it became an indispensable part of our existence, especially during the coronavirus pandemic that forced us into the confines of our homes. Netflix became our undisputed best friend, offering solace in the darkest of times.
In 2021, Netflix released a lot of Original films that have garnered massive acclaim.
