Needs more new movies
February 3, 2017

I love some of the Netflix original shows. It's also great to watch tv shows that have great reviews but you never started from the beginning. But, I don't want to watch shows all the time. I wish it had a better selection of movies to watch.

So much great programming - can't believe the Netflix originals are as good as they are. Highly recommend getting a subscription - we just keep finding more and more. Now, add some more Classic Movies that rival TCM and you get six stars!

Breath of fresh air
January 31, 2017

Love Netflix. When everything on TV is reruns, reruns, reruns, it is so refreshing to go to Netflix to watch something you haven't yet seen. It's reasonably priced and has a great variety of things to watch. My family loves it and uses it a lot.

Great for whole family

My husband has movies for him. My grandchildren's account have movies for them. We received a trial and will renew when its time. My husband is a truck driver and watches on phone computer and kindle. My granddaughters have a smart tv and works great there too.

Nothing to fault
January 18, 2021

Netflix really have upped their game over the last few years. Now that they do their own tv shows without ads, I am a fan for life. I rarely watch any old tv shows and films anymore but I am always looking forward to their own shows.

Too bad that you've no simple access to "All" items on the home page!

Overall, I enjoy the un-interrupted playing of the items and having access through Xfinity/Comcast is very nice.

Netflix makes me happy!
January 25, 2017

I used to buy dvds of movies and tv shows and store them in a safe place and never touch them again and when i did, they were already damaged. Now i watch stuff over netflix and enjoy the quality and service they provide.

VERY GOOD SERVICE.
January 24, 2017

I have been a member of Netflix for years and only have streaming plus one D. V. D. Out at a time. The problem I have with streaming is that there are not a lot to select from, as far as movies go. I still couldn't be without Netflix! I LOVE movies!

The movies offered on their streaming service are mostly quite old and new releases are only available by signing up for the DVD option (extra $$). Also, their list of new releases usually does not include the latest releases, and you need to actually know the name of the movie you want and search for it (it is usually there, just not advertised up front). There is no easy way to contact them (like so many online businesses these days). So, 3.5 stars on user friendliness, 4.5 stars on actual delivery of service provided (which is pretty good overall).

Worst experience
January 23, 2017

Netflix continued charging my credit card even after cancellation. They said that somebody reinstated my membership but no emails or notifications were sent that the membership was re-activated. I just found out because they sent me an email that my credit card has expired.

Great Service

They created a platform where you can get everything that is in your tv. It means all your programs and movies can get streamed at anytime. Their charges are fair.

Great Service
January 23, 2017

I have had Netflix for as long as I can remember, and they have always gone above and beyond for the few times I've called them with question. I think prices are very fair. I get streaming and 2 DVDs/month for $15 with only a $2 increase over all these yrs. I highly recommend.

Wide choices... streaming works well... go online to browse titles is easier than using on screen browser (which is still pretty good). Sometimes the 'because you watched___' list is not well chosen, other times it finds you something great you would have missed -- so I browse them too.

Not enough selection of intelligent dramas. Netflix is heavy on third rate zombie movies and cops and robbers trash. Yes the blockbuster movies are there, but nothing to feed your interest in extraordinary movies. Or even old "classics". Just run of the mill stuff here.
