Netflix is constantly upping its game. It changes it's plans, adds streaming, and seems to keep up with Hulu and other comeptitors.

The interface has always been easy. Rating is simple, putting a list together is simple, having split accounts is simple, and I love their recommendations.

You can always sort movies by category, previously watched, recommended to you, what's new, etc.

Though I have limited my interest to movies that can be found downloaded through their website, for the price it is nice to see some 80s and 90s movie hits that haven't been forgotten. It may take a few minutes of dedicated searching, yet it does provide an alternative to Redbox, etc., for evening entertainment.

Every time you login to netflix, 99% of whatever shows up, you either have already seen it, or have no intention of seeing it.

If only there was a checkbox or a button that HIDE that from ALL your listings. If hidden, it should no longer show up in any of your catagories. At least this way i will have a chance to maybe see what else netflix has to offer

How hard is it netflix? To add a HIDE THIS FOREVER button? Or a checkbox?

Come on, this is the 21st century. If you cant do it, call some dude in Bangalore India to come up with the "HOW TO DO IT" I am sure it would not cost you all that much to add on this magic HIDE THIS FOREVER button

Boy will this boost your membership, as now at least viewers have choice on what they don't want to see so at least they will now see something they might want to watch.

Better Call Saul
March 11, 2015

After watching breaking bad a few times with my girlfriend and my daughter, better call Saul is a must watch and Netflix is the platform to watch it from, they offer so so much content that I would probably take you years to watch it all. Although a "New In" list would be cool or something that says when movie expire and are due for removal so that I can watch them before they are gone.

I love Netflix!
March 10, 2015

Netflix is worth every penny! I do not order DVDs I just stream through my ps4. I love that there is no commercials or stupid ads! It very rarely has maintanince issues! The only thing I don't like about Netflix is it doesn't update shows or movies very often! And some shows it won't add all the seasons. Instead of starting with season 1 it will start from like the 3rd or 4th season but say it's season 1. Other than that I have no complaints!

Some of the best original content I have seen from services like this! Only problem is for some things on tv they skip around alot. Like they will have season 1-3 and then season 6... what happened to the middle part!?!? Still decent value for the cost.

We have had a Netflix acct. For approximately 10 years. At first we just received the DVD's through the mail... then we had both streaming and the DVD's. Currently we only have the streaming as it is harder to always find the time to watch a DVD and get it back to them within a month. I love the streaming as I can get really wrapped up in a Series like Breaking Bad or Dexter. I have watched all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad in approx. 3 weeks. We have a TIVO which we stream through. The streaming is flawless with no lagging. You can't beat the price especially compared to our Comcast expense each month. We have seriously discussed getting rid of Comcast and just streaming shows when they are available on streaming. If you've never tried Netflix... I would highly recommend you give it a try. There's plenty to watch without paying an arm and a leg each month.

The only complaint is that sometimes they take a long time to get the most currrent episodes, for example Poirot.

I don't like the fact that some of their older movies you can only rent on dvd, but hey. I can't complain when their selection for streaming is so big as it is, and it's Sooooo cheap.

No tv... no problem!
February 19, 2015

I did away with my tv and the cable company with their high costs. Now I can watch what I want when I want. There are many movies I've never seen and tv series I missed available at any time of the day!

Of all the movie streaming services, Netflix continues to be our top choice. They have a larger selection than others. The library satisfies needs for our younger children as well as teens. They have begun producing their own shows including House of Cards which is excellent! Netflix has continued to update and improve the user interface (though your experience will vary depending on which device you use). The service is device friendly, working on tablets, game systems, phones, etc. We rarely experience down time from them. Years ago we used the option to rent actual DVDs/Games through the mail but have since discontinued that option. I do believe however, as of 2015 it is still available. They're not the only service we use, but in my opinion, it's a great bang for your $7.99/month!
