A compendium of Netflix UI Fuckery

Netflix Sux.markdown

These criticisms are leveled primarily at the AndroidTV Netflix client. I haven't used other clients so I can't speak for their functionality.

No Timezone awareness

Currently, it is 8pm in New Zealand (Fri Jan 31 20:20:41 NZDT 2020)

"The Good Place" Season 4, Episode 13 says "Available January 31".

But its not available yet. At all. Maybe the fact that its currently 11pm in PST bears some significance.

But for me, this means that the avertised availability is bullshit for over 3/4 of the day.

Its fucking 2020 and your developers STILL can't accomodate for timezones. How good are they really?

Fun fact though, its available on torrents, since 2 hours ago. Whhhhhy. Customers come second right? Its only a Netflix Original, I mean, how do you fuck that up that hard.
