Same thing for the Amazon Fire Stick... the Netflix app is extremely laggy and playback stutters, it feels like even they have very capable engineers, there's a lack of love at the very last mile.

Also, discovery of new films is awful, as they basically want to be helpful and guessing your taste all the way, but it's severely lacking filtering options for power users. Which I don't mind, because it's driving people to our site in droves recently :)

(shameless self-plug: https://www.justwatch.com )

The sheer amount of systems they are trying to cover with a performance and security (DRM) sensitive video player component isn't that easy to support on the other hand.

I don't even think basic filtering is only appealing to power users. Just some way to find films apart from their recommended, too-cute "genres" would be appreciated.
