Production is good but not great, The Diplomat is quite melodramatic going too much into soap opera territory.

Money Heist is completely a soap opera.

Not saying that those aren't good productions but they aren't on par with what HBO used to deliver (True Detective, The Wire, Sopranos, etc.), notwithstanding the leap of faiths HBO take sometimes with stuff like The Rehearsal, and How To With John Wilson.

Netflix is very much formulaic, cinematography of Netflix shows is also quite bland/generified.
