I haven't been watching anything for a couple of years because I have two children and that limits tv a lot. However, the recommendation system still sucks. They haven't recommended me lockwood and co on Netflix, we stumbled on it because it was popular (and we binged watched it one night when both were asleep). So I do think it sucks. Recommendation seems to consider similarity, but not "quality" : they give equal treatment to their products, and the consequence seems to be that they show often garbage mixed in with good stuff...

It's exactly the issue: it recommends based on "same style of what you watched", not on "this is high quality". I watch high quality shows only - anyway I don't watch much. And I have the exact same impression, it doesn't suggest me quality shows.

  Yes that's the same thing I noticed. Interestingly, Steam seems to do a much better job at recommending OR my ability to filter out good/bad videogames is much superior. The problem with a movie is that you can't see a part of the plot for some of them or it would spoil it, while for videogames you definitely want to look at the gameplay (at least for me) before buying.
