It might have been updated recently.

My Netflix froze yesterday and my Roku Box HAD to restart!

I hate that!

I'm finished with Netflix. I used to love it but then we upgraded our cable so now we get lots of movie channels that aren't pay channels but still a lot of movies. For a while there my husband was really the only one who watched stuff on Netflix because he liked all the horror movies that they offered. We only had the DVDs, mind you. So now that my husband is gone, I have been watching my own movies on Netflix but none of them have impressed me. I downgraded my account to having two a month which is only $4.99 but even so it's hard to find things to put in my queue that are interesting. For a while there they weren't even letting people put reviews on the site anymore which is lame. It used to be that everyone had a username and you could follow people's reviews but they changed that a long time ago. I had mixed emotions about canceling my subscription but now I think i'm going to do it. I transferred all of my Netflix reviews onto my local library's website and I noticed that most of the movies I had in my queue on Netflix are available at the library for free. I am going to be moving soon and I may get the streaming when I get to my new place (wherever that is), but for now I think I'm done.

Increasingly Netflix seems less about entertainment and more about expressing a social-political agenda.

I read an article about how Netflix may well be 3-5 years away from going the way of Blockbuster, since it is going to lose increasing amounts of its content to rival streaming services when various contracts run out, and so it may be left with little beyond foreign series and movies, and its original productions.

That said, I see no reason to believe streaming is anything but the way of the future. One medium I am not sure will continue to be as relevant in our culture is the movie theater. It costs too much to see a movie anymore and it's not fun to sit in a theater while people talk on their phones and text, ruining the darkness and wrecking the atmosphere.

Netflix says it would ‘rethink’ filming in Georgia if abortion law takes effect

Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos said the streaming service (which is spending billions of dollars on an ever-growing catalog of original content) will “rethink [its] whole investment in Georgia” if a recently signed abortion law goes into effect.

“We have many women working on productions in Georgia, whose rights, along with millions of others, will be severely restricted by this law,” Sarandos said. “It’s why we will work with the ACLU and others to fight it in court.

This comes as the stars of two Netflix shows — Jason Bateman of “Ozark” and Alyssa Milano of “Insatiable” — have said they would stop filming in the state if the law takes effect.

I'm not anti abortion. But I am tired of these Hollywood elites trying to force their loony left wing political opinions down my throat.
