> because they don’t have a lot of great content actually imo. At the rate I watch new TV/Web series, there are enough in Netflix right now to last me 2-3 years. The recsys is shit. After I search and manually add shows to my watchlist, I see them as recced and with 98% match. I never see shows I would really like recced to me by the recsys. I always find shows by word-of-mouth and by searching You.com (prev Google). I just search what I want. I see many lists appear on the results. I take a mental note of series appearing in multiple lists and synopsis liked by me. This is how I discovered Broadchurch, Bosch, and Mozart in the Jungle. I used to browse Reddit a lot (had to cut it due to lack of time) and watched shows and movies that came up a lot during free discussion or viral askreddits or some weekly threads. This is how I discovered Clue (1982), Superbad, etc.
