I've found Netflix to often be the 21st century version of "100 channels and still nothing on". Strangely, despite the on-demand nature, I find I watch it a lot like broadcast TV+PVR or discs: there is the occasional show that I enjoy, sometimes including something I found via Netflix itself, and I typically watch new episodes of those not long after they are released or maybe binge-watch a short dramatic mini-series over a few evenings. However, if I'm browsing for something new to watch, a lot of the series are mediocre to poor, and for movies, the big names arrive far too late to be relevant for me and the rest are mostly straight-to-video quality at best.
