Are the sequels any good?

I'll only consider watching them if they're on Netflix.

I'd say see them since you went ahead with the first one, but it's hit or miss.

* all nine of them are on there; "Hellworld" and "Revelations" are, by far, the worst, truly abysmal films.

2nd one is like a continuation of this story, so you might as well.

After that they get a bit hit and miss. 3rd seems to divide fans, many like it, many don't. Could have a look at that one, see what you think.

2 is Ok and a half decent watch.
The rest are terrible.

The 2nd one is my favorite Hellraiser movie. It's a direct continuation of the first and is much "bigger." I think the series should have ended with that one. The rest really didn't need to be made.

The 3rd one is corny but watchable and still feels like a Hellraiser movie, even though Pinhead is in complete Freddy mode. Bloodline is okay. The rest are DTV crapfests of rejected scripts that were molded into cheap Hellraiser movies.

Hellraiser 3 and 4 are corny but watchable, however, 5 & 6 are really good.

Yes. Because of Hellbound.

I'm no expert on this franchise but I just watched the first 3 Hellraiser movies this weekend: I found the first 2 to be great and the third to be good (but not great).

I haven't seen the other dozen of sequels yet.

Hellraiser 2: Hellbound is a great sequel. I haven't seen any others because I heard they were terrible but Hellbound was great. Probably more enjoyable and rewatchable than the first.
