When it's time to find a great new show to watch, the folks at Netflix keep delivering options - even though some may seem too weird to watch. Netflix, to its credit, is always trying to figure out a new way to help, but its randomizing Play Something shuffle feature went away and nothing has come back to replace it. This is why we've got our roundups of the best family movies on Netflix, which helps separate the neon-drenched chaff from the high-quality wheat. Sure, the TV and movies sections promote the best shows on Netflix and the best Netflix movies, and they do sort things by genre, but discovery continues to be a problem for Netflix customers. That said, trying to find something new and digging up a hidden gem can be tricky. The Netflix app is simple, organizing content into five main sections: Home, TV Shows, Movies, New & Popular and the self-curated My List. Settings to fix this were eventually provided. For example, Netflix would always auto-play audio when you hovered over a selection for too long. The Netflix apps set the standard for the best streaming services, but they've never been truly perfect. The unfortunate news that Netflix is cracking down against sharing accounts (a popular way to cut costs - and one of our top Netflix tips and tricks) used across separate households, may put a pothole in the road for some streamers. Those simultaneous streams, though, are only in the same household. Especially if they know another app can offer it. Sure, HBO Max has a wider range of content, but fans want to see those shows in crystal clear 4K. Stack that up against Disney Plus' library of more than 740 movies and 280 TV shows (opens in new tab), and HBO Max's list of over 2,000 movies and 580 shows (opens in new tab) and the pricing starts to make sense. JustWatch (opens in new tab) claims Netflix houses more than 3,600 movies and 1,800 TV shows That's really pricey compared to the $9.99 - $14.99 per month HBO Max and even less expensive services such as Peacock, Paramount Plus and others, but the math of Netflix's library makes it seem worth it. Those who want to stream in 4K will get the $19.99 Premium Netflix tier, which has Ultra HD video quality and up to four streams. It includes image quality of up to 1080p Full HD, and a second simultaneous stream. The Standard Netflix package, likely its most popular option, costs $15.49 per month.
