I like the idea. I find it incredibly tedious to lookup IMDB ratings while surfing Netflix since that's almost all I care about when I'm indecisive ("Just give me a movie roughly in this genre that's roughly decent").

The catalog seems very limited though. I couldn't find the few Netflix shows I searched for from my Netflix homepage: "el internado", "gran hotel", "el barco", "3%".

Feedback: Would be much nicer with permalinks and the history push API so that back/forward worked.

For example, clicking around the movies a bit and then pressing the back button took me back to HN. And would be nice to link someone to "/shows/123", one of the key advantages of websites over apps.

I don't care about ratings -- IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, or random film critic -- it doesn't matter. They're all useless to me (often worse than useless, as so many people have such different tastes from me).

The only people who's opinions I care about are friends and family who I know well and who's tastes I share, or who at least know my tastes and can recommend to me something they think I might like.

Apart from that, what I do to find more films to watch is try to see what other films directors and writers I like have made, or do web searches for combinations of films that I like to see what similar films turn up or to occasionally find people with similar tastes to my own and then pick through their favorite movie lists.

You need to find a reviewer you trust and pay attention to them only.

I find RT works great if you understand that professional reviewers rate movies in the context of their genre. So, a Hollywood action flick may be 80%, but if you don't like that genre, you're still not gonna like it.

Sure, but this was not a response to my post.
