I think the tv doesn’t report that quick, right after it’s turned on, if a Netflix is running.  
I think it’s better to do something like this

When…  
-an app was started  
(or  
-an app was changed)  
And…  
-app name is Netflix  
Or…  
-app name is Prime video  
Then…  
-turn off light

(And an app doesn’t start when the TV is off, so no need to check if it’s on imho)
