Netflix's UI is a shell game to trick you into thinking they have more programs than they actually do.

I think the Netflix app is very performant and well build, especially compared to the ones like prime. Button presses just work even when using low end devices like a Nintendo Wii.
The switching around of the different things like continue watching is very annoying though.
I hardly use it anymore due to the algorithm bubble of only showing (very) similar things to what I have already watched and no tools to influence this. Also when they started out they had way more access to work from other publishers. I usually am looking for something novel and found more interesting things in the beginning when their algorithm was less "refined", they more had other's titles and it was less geared towards pushing their own content.

I find it very frustrating that the 'continue watching'/'watch again' sections are often in a different spot. And my last show will be in one or the other section depending on if my last viewing included the last episode.
