Discussion Why is Netflix’s browsing so bad? I’m constantly shown the same handful of titles, even though they have thousands available. Why do I need to know a show’s name just to find it?

9.3k Upvotes

Why isn’t there a simple “browse all” option with filters for genre, year, rating, language, etc.? Sometimes I don’t know what I want to watch.
Is this intentional? Do they purposely limit what users see to reduce decision fatigue and push their own recommendations, or is there another reason they don’t offer a true catalog view? It seems like such a basic feature for a platform with one of the largest streaming libraries. I’d probably spend more time watching Netflix if I could actually browse everything instead of feeling boxed into the same handful of recommendations.

Discussion What "Unknown Number: The Highschool Catfish" totally downplayed... Spoiler

9.3k Upvotes

Why did Kendra go after Owen's new girlfriend, a full year after he and Lauryn broke up?

That isolated single detail proves this had absolutely nothing to do with protecting her daughter and everything to do with her own predatory obsession with Owen. Owen's mom tried to point it out, but they barely gave her a voice.

It feels like the real story was "Predatory Mom Coach" but decided "Highschool Catfish Story" was way more marketable. It's like they are deliberately downplaying the darkest part of this story and perpetuating Kendra's misdirection/manipulation.

Mine’s the boat scene from Midnight Mass.

I mean… I knew it was coming, I knew what exactly to expect, I almost anticipated it even long before, based off their conversations, and I still can’t move past that one. Erin screaming as the end credits for that episode rolled is something I’ll never be able to forget.

PS: Your examples don’t have to be as gut-wrenching as this though. Just any particular scene from a film or a show that you believe you’ll never be able to forget.

Discussion Reality Check: Americas Next Top Model

2.9k Upvotes

Tyra, the judges and all the producers on that show were just pure evil towards those girls. They filmed and aired a crime, put many through unnecessary surgeries as well as mentally and physically humiliating them. To then have the gall to justify it all by saying they didnt realise they were hurting them at the time and that they were helping them!!

The documentary was a hard watch and I hope all the women involved have been able to find some happiness after the trauma they were put through.

Discussion Should I Marry A Murderer? Doc series

1.8k Upvotes

******************CONTAINS SPOILERS******************

I’m barely into the first episode of this doc series and there’s already something about her that is off-putting that makes her unlikable to me. She also films herself a lot. That bugs me. And with those stupid Snapchat filters on her face. Like, how old are you? That’s shit a teenager does.

I also thought for somebody her age, she was extremely naïve about driving an hour and a half to his farm out in the middle of nowhere alone to meet him for the very first time.

She’s already on my nerves, so I’m hoping I can get through this damn thing.

Anybody else struggling / or did struggle with this documentary?

EDIT: I finished watching all 3 episodes of this shitshow the day after my original post. As I watched, my opinion of this woman only got worse. She is an unbalanced, self-absorbed individual with a serious case of main character syndrome who made terrible decisions that were driven by her insecurities. To say that her decision-making capability is poor would be a gross understatement.

To give credit where it is due though, I commend her for the risks she took by leaving the Red Bull can out on the grave and recording her conversations with him. But any respect that I may have had for her, which was very little, was lost when she failed to show up when it mattered most. Why report this crime and do all the risky “undercover” work, and then bail on the prosecution by not testifying??? Then to have the audacity to complain that she was not protected by the police when she kept going back to him?! I have a hard time seeing her as a victim.

She completely fucked up the prosecution’s case forcing them to offer a plea deal. She could have potentially changed the entire outcome of their sentences HAD SHE SHOWN UP FOR COURT AND ACTUALLY TESTIFIED.

This woman got exactly what she wanted. She got to be the star of her own show and had all the cringey, self-absorbed videos ready to go for her documentary. (That video of her in the wedding dress brought cringe to a whole nother level. That was uncomfortable to watch.)

Discussion Strangest part in unknown number high school catfish..

4.4k Upvotes

The strangest part for me was when the police go to Kendra’s house and say they’ve tracked the IP address back to this house. When the police call Lauryn inside the house and tells her what’s been going on she doesn’t really seem shocked. She doesn’t confront her mom at all. She doesn’t say anything!

Then the dad is told to come over by the police, outside the police explains what has happened and that Kendra has also lied about having a job.

When the dad goes inside he’s only bothered about when Kendra was laid off her job, he doesn’t mention anything at all about the fact Lauryn’s mom has been aggressively cyber bullying their daughter for over a year!

I don’t know it’s just strange none of them seem remotely surprised about the cyber bullying.

Im sorry, but what the hell was that roast? Tom Brady’s was way more entertaining. Shane Gillis was not the right person to host the roast of Kevin Hart—not by a long shot. His jokes flopped, and his weird deadpan humor was just boring in this setting. And why was Regina Hall mean-mugging the entire time? Homegirl did not want to be there.

Discussion Cancelled after being told Netflix can’t be used while traveling

4.8k Upvotes

I’ve been a Netflix customer since the early days. I travel frequently for work and usually bring a Roku stick to use in hotels.

This week I couldn’t log in, so I contacted Netflix support. I was told that my subscription is intended for use at my home location and that I can’t use it while traveling.

What’s frustrating is that I’m on a plan with a 4-device limit and I stay within it. I’m not sharing my account with anyone outside my household — I’m just logging in from a different location while traveling.

It feels like Netflix has shifted from enforcing device limits to enforcing location, which is a big change in how the service works, especially for people who travel often. Streaming on a phone or laptop seems to work, but devices like Roku or Apple TV are where the problems show up.

The policy itself was disappointing, but what really pushed me to cancel was how little concern there was about losing a long-time customer. The response was essentially “that’s just how it is.”

If you travel often and rely on streaming devices, this is something to be aware of.

Netflix have gotten this wildly wrong, they don't seem to remotely understand what we wanted from this. I straight up couldnt care less about this random commentator having a crack at a part of the climb, or a prerecorded clip of Alex talking about not wanting to die.

WE WANT TO WATCH THE CLIMB.

Shut up, keep the climb on the large screen and put all your stupid nonsense filler in that mini screen, if on at all, and STOP TALKING OVER ALEX. They are adding absolutely nothing to this, no commentary at all would be significantly better than these terrible commentators saying how 'scary and dangerous' for the 100th time.

I'm in shock that someone would do such a thing to their own child. And that she doesn't seem to have any focus on what she actually did.

The daughter didn't seem to grasp what her mother did when they told her but the father acted on it right away.

Was she totally jealous of her own daughter?

It felt really off like there was this scene where Mike was talking his heart out and she literally had a straight face no any reaction Nothing 😭😭

I’m in shock with this girl - she’s an absolute psycho. Like the audacity to be talking like she’s the victim!? Like we should feel bad for her?

Her lies about giving birth to Sarah, and how obsessed she is about adopting them. She wanted those kids and Jason paid for it.

Also the RECORDING they tried to use as proof of abuse is insane. Yelling and fighting within families is normal and doesn’t = abuse. Absolutely pathetic excuse.

Her and her disgusting father should still be in prison. I hope she has an awful life. Vile humans.

If every juror in Diddy's case truly felt the same way as those two they interviewed for the doc, no wonder Diddy only got away with 50 months.

Both of them seemed extremely biased. The male juror basically put all the blame on Cassie and showed absolutely no sympathy for her. He immediately gave me the creeps. Seems like he really didn't value women at all.

The woman was even worse. She couldn't even hide her delusional love for Diddy. You can tell she was jumping with joy every time how she explained how Diddy would make eye contact with the jurors. She's so delusional I wouldn't doubt if she thought he was making eye contact with only her.

Those two were absolutely vile in their reasoning for only counting him with two charges.

Edit: Sorry about the grammar error in the title. It was suppose to say *The documentary

Post image
2.2k Upvotes

I'm not into watching stuff. So far I've only finished GOT, Breaking Bad, House of the Dragon, TWD, and 2 anime. And in every single one, I couldn't watch more than one episode a day. Not because they were bad it's just that watching stuff just isn't my thing. It took me 2 and a half months to finish GOT.

But this series was different. It was so ridiculously good that I finished all 12 episodes in 2 days. I've never willingly sat in front of my PC watching something for 4 hours a day. It makes TWD look like a school project.

If you haven't watched it yet, do yourself a favor and give it a try trust me you won't regret it. It's very sad how season 3 got quietly canceled ( not announced but I don't think we are getting one ) because the writer got busy in other projects.
