And this is the most confusing part of Netflix for me. I'm very selective in what I watch, and Netflix partly know it, but the star system is wrong. I have to check IMDB every time when I see a show or a movie with an interesting title/plot but 1 or 2 stars. It's almost as if they don't want me to watch their content. I would prefer a lot better if it's displayed the average rating on Netflix or from IMDB for example.

"The problem isn't thinking machines, it's letting machines do the thinking for you." Whether powered by algos or people, any rating system is "letting a machine do the thinking for you". Take the ten(?) minutes you spend researching the thing to watch ten minutes of the thing, and I bet you more often than not you'll know whether you want to watch it.
