Netflix Is Now Available Around the World

Only guess I have for Netflix specifically is the fact that they have built clients for every device under the sun. This was and still is part of their M.O. It is just time consuming and difficult to write a heavier feature set in to all of your clients when theyre on every smart tv ever, Xbox, probably toasters, God knows what else

Content filters are ridiculously easy to implement though. As long as you already have the browsing view, all you need to add is a picker that changes whatever DB query you are using to select the data.

Like in SQL all you would need to do is change this:

  SELECT * FROM movies

to this:

  SELECT * FROM movies ORDER BY rating ASC

When I built a web app for film management, that was by far the easiest thing to implement.
