    Obviously. But at least the star ratings were a little more transparent. If something was garbage, you could tell before you wasted your time. Now I have no idea what “96% Match!” even means.

The Netflix Que was just their version of Facebook tailoring ads. People had no idea how much Netflix was giving away.
    I have zero problems giving my data away if it means I get a better product.

      The percent match, as I understand it, takes all the movies/shows you've rated and the categories (sometimes as specific as "gritty drama") and then compiles them into an algorithm and states how likely you are to like that possible selection. If all I favorably rated were organized crime movies, then The Godfather would be a 98% match, for example.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        I understand what it is. I just don’t care about that. I want to see if it’s a good move or mass produced garbage. Which is most of what comes out of Netflix Studios. I’ll watch Spirited Away even though I hate anime, because it’s a great movie. I’ll watch La La Land because it’s fantastic and i can’t think of any other live action musical I like. I don’t need to watch almost anything DC because I like superhero movies.

        If I liked garbage, Netflix Studios would be a 97% match.

                      Re: TV: One Person's Trash...

                      Was looking over my Fall TV options and this is what I came up with.

                      New shows this fall I am trying out.

                      All Rise -CBS
                      Bluff City Law - NBC (I love courtroom dramas, sue me)
                      Batwoman (CW) (I've skipped most of CW's DC offerings but I am not going to skip this one)
                      Watchmen - HBO
                      His Dark Materials -HBO
                      Dublin Murders - Starz

                      Continuing on with:

                      How To Get Away With Murder
                      Criminal Minds (air date for final season unknown)
                      Blind Spot (air date for final season unknown)
                      The Black List

                      Deleting from DVR:

                      The Gifted (Fox) cancelled. Had two seasons. I watched the first one, not worth watching the second now.
                      The Passage (Fox) cancelled. Had only one season. I hadn't watched it yet. Going to nuke it now.

                      EDIT: finally finished Gotham. The first (4) seasons were great. The 5th season was meh. The last episode was fantastic, however.
