Netflix has the greatest UI out of all the streaming apps I've tried.  Wonder why Canadian Netflix seems to suck so much.
Non-American netflix's UI is no different,
Only content. Netflix provides different content based on where you are accessing it from.

Some have used a VPI to hide their location. :eyebrows:

VPI...or...VPN?

I know they are cracking down on VPN usage, but the only way they know your on a VPN is if the VPN uses a shared IP address space for everyone. Then Netflix will see that multiple accounts are accessing it from the same IP address.
If you can find a VPN that gives each user a unique IP address then Netflix would not be able to tell.

The only thing I can't stand about Netflix's UI is the fact that they list the number of stars based on their PREDICTION of how much I'll enjoy a title. I'd much rather just see the feedback from the community and how they rated it, not Netflix going full Miss Cleo.

Couldn't agree more. Took me a while to realize that one. And if other people share your account, then that star "recommendation" is even more suspect.

At this point, between Netflix, Amazon Prime, and movies on Blu Ray free from my local library, I have literally more high quality content than I can ever get through.  Even if all I ever did was watch movies/shows.  But I don't - I also listen to a ton of music and read books (for free, from the library), and spend time doing activities with my family.  Oh, and working :D
