You can’t go past a good Netflix movie.
What you can go past is a, erm, pretty damn average one.
Netflix has served us up some bloody great movies lately – When We First Met, Mudbound and The Meyerowitz Stories – just to name a few.
But it also delivered a few underwhelming original movies and a few, well, shockers.
To help you avoid a crappy binge session this weekend, we’ve rounded up some of Netflix’s biggest flops:
Step Sisters
Critic score: 29%
Audience score: 45%
Step Sisters is kind of like if Step Up and Pitch Perfect and Dear White People all got together and had an orgy and then ended up having a very basic movie baby together.
It’s as if Netflix went to their little movie making machine and typed in ‘college-based comedy’, ‘some kind of competitive sport’, and ‘woke pls’ and this is what came out.
LISTEN: Did you know Dawson’s Creek was based on the writer’s real life? The Binge discusses the real people (and yes, the real creek!) behind our favourite 90s teen drama. Post continues after audio…
In short, it’s a dance movie that tries to send an important message about diversity and inclusion and wokeness etc… but fails.
The good news is it’s so lame, you’ll probably love it. You can read my full review here.

Critic score: 27%
