Netflix viewers beg for major change that could ‘save so much time’

Netflix viewers are calling for a major change to the platform to help save everyone a lot of time. We’ve all been there – you’re scrolling through finding something to watch, you’re a little overwhelmed by all the choices, and you don’t want to fully commit to something without knowing it’ll be worth your time.
Sites like Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb make things easier with their ratings, and people want to see these integrated into Netflix so that it’s all in one place. ‘Netflix could include ratings from Rotten Tomatoes to save us all a web search,’ posted a Reddit user on r/ShowerThoughts.
‘That would save me so much time and decision anxiety,’ agreed another user, with a third person pointing out: ‘Prime Video does this with IMDb and I love it.’. Others thought it was a good idea in theory, although other options could be for Netflix to develop their own system, which currently lets you give a thumbs up or down to something so the app can be curated to your own tastes.
Responding to the original idea, someone said: ‘This, or make their own rating system even a little bit useful.’. And another user wrote: ‘I need 3 simple ratings…. Good, bad, and not great but you are a busy person and this movie will be worth your time.’.
Netflix did use to have a ‘star system’ on the platform, and while some people think it was a ‘great’ feature, others have a theory for why Netflix go rid of it. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video.
