Adding to wishlist: rotten tomatoes and IMDb score of each movie clearly visible when browsing in addition to Netflix rating. Maybe with a link back to IMDb/rt/... It’s infuriating that I need to have laptop or phone with me when browsing movies to see how they are rated.

Ps. Agree with everything you and parent said!

The IMDB scores are one of the biggest benefits of the Amazon UI. The ratings are actually meaningful unlike the totally useless Netflix ratings. Netflix ratings typically range from baffling to insulting.

Firefox has a plugin that shows ratings inside Netflix: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/film-scores-f...

Netflix knows that a huge chunk of their television shows are low quality garbage.

They will never expose an outside review system.
