>Original Netflix series and movies are, by and large, fairly awful.

I've found it's not worth watching anything on netflix, originals or not, unless it's something I already know is good or if the rating is above 7/10 on a couple different review sites(even that's fairly unreliable).

I also find a lot of shows start good...are full of story dragging filler in the middle then end either in some kind of cliffhanger or just don't bother wrapping up most of the story.

I understand why they end that way....but most of the things i've watched like that don't end up with a second season...it just ends up feeling like I wasted a bunch of time with a story that will never conclude.

Not to mention the strange recommendations, the way netflix alters cover art depending what demographic they think you are...and something strange I asked about but was told I was crazy for thinking but..

But I have suspicions netflix associates unrelated accounts used on the same network in some way.

My girlfriend had been watching a series on netflix using my account, under my name on the roku app through the television.

She recently got a new laptop that came with a netflix app and used her parent's account to sign in. The two accounts have completely different information associated with them, my account had never been used on her computer, her parents account had never been used on the tv and thr show had never been watched on her parents' account yet when she started the show on her computer it started off at the exact minute she'd left off on the tv.

The only two things the two devices had in common were that they were used on the same network in the same house.

But I was told by multiple people I just have been mistaken and netflix doesn't work like that so what do I know?
