Netflix's original content is a little all over the map when it comes to quality. In my experiences, it is either great or terrible. There was never anything that was just OK.
Then I watched ARQ. It is an interesting, if well worn, premise. The acting is solid. The story is solid. The pacing is well done. The sets are believable.
ARQ is a solid, if not terribly inspired, piece of genre cinema.
It is good to know that Netflix can do workman like quality. That makes me feel like they could have a long future of in the content business. Nobody lasts very long when they can only hit the extremes.
The only thing I didn't like about ARQ was the ending. The movie didn't quite earn the right to have the sort of ending it had. However, like everything else about ARQ, the ending was just fine.
