Or is everything on Netflix terrible?

Have I watched everything that's worth watching or I can I just not find anything?

Any recommendations?

Could someone tell an idiot like me how to reset it so it doesn't use existing algorithms anymore. I did go to profile but I couldn't see anything that would help.

Read someone mentioning a reset above, Thanks.

I can't do it on the app, but I can do it on the website.

Go to Account, then Profile and Parental Controls. From there you should be able to clock 'view' on Viewing Activity. You can then get rid of individual programmes, or start afresh by selecting 'hide all' at the bottom of the list.

I'm a massive fan of Turkish dramas, there are a few on Netflix, Black Money Love is really good.

If you like drug dealing dramas Power is amazing, must better than Breaking Bad IMO.

Also documentaries- some really good true crime and political ones. Bobby Kennedy for President was surprisingly riveting.

So glad to see some Bojack-love in here! I wasnt enjoying the first season much and it was just background noise up until ‘Downer Ending’ (towards the end of s.1). I’ve re-watched all 6 seasons a good 10 times since it finished.

The View from Halfway Down was also a legitimately excellent poem, buried in a show about a talking horse.

Was tempted to post it but given the content (suicide), I’ll leave a link instead:

I ignore my recommendations and trending not sure about the algorithm but I would not watch most shows. I prefer to look under what has been recently added to find shows to add to my list.

I have recently watched the Witcher, Wednesday, Dahmer. Currently, watching Colony with the new season of Lost in Space next on the list.

I quite like Netflix and can find something to watch. I switch between Disney+ and Now Entertainment every few months. This way there is always something new to view.

Plumbed the depths of Netflix last night to find anything worth watching.

Can report back that 'the polka king' film with jack black was pretty good, and 'between 2 ferns' - an Alan partridge type spoof was entertaining.
