Quantity over quality appears to be the way Netflix approaches its content strategy, with each acclaimed in-house original being comfortably outweighed by a worrying number of instantly forgettable exclusives. It isn’t just restricted to blockbusters, either, with Mr. Harrigan’s Phone the latest in an almost never-ending line of underwhelming features that have left viewers yawning.

Of course, the combination of Stephen King’s name slapped all over the marketing and the glossy sheen of Netflix’s high production values has been enough to see the crushingly dull “horror” (there’s a reason why the genre has been put in quotation marks) make an instant splash on the streaming service’s viewership rankings.
