That's what I was trying to get at with the question about what people are using the service for. I guess better phrase would be "what are people watching". Once or twice a month I'll open Netflix, browse around, try to watch something and turn it off. It seems like most of what it suggests is their in-house content, which I've had very little luck with. I don't remember the last time I found something I enjoyed by browsing Netflix, as opposed to knowing exactly what I was looking for ahead of time.
Are they just really bad at suggesting content? How do you go about discovering the fantastic content?
- endorphone 8y agoTraditionally it was by browsing around "More Like This" on something you liked, delving down the rabbit hole. For instance I watched a few European captioned shows, and each of those led to more that I have loved (Dark, Borderliner, Bordertown, Hotel Beau Sejour, River, among many others). Unfortunately many of their interfaces don't support More Like This. Netflix has very poor discoverability, and it has gotten worse, but they have an enormous trove of extraordinary content.
