Eh, anyone here by chance who knows how to watch the Avengers movies and the Men in Black movies in Germany? They don't appear in the catalog, but searching shows "Based on The Avengers" and the other MCU films, for example.

Check Reddit Netflix subreddit there are a bunch of ways of getting the full catalog there is a neat software which makes it seamless although a regular vpn is just as good
Re: A directory of Netflix's “secret” categories
#53It would be nice if Netflix made it easier to browse content rather than choosing what categories to display and show to you. It can get stuck thinking your really like a genre, and the recommendation engine can penalize you too much for too many likes or dislikes. Now that the website is a bit more focused towards streaming-on-computer it's somewhat harder to browse and prepare a queue. It feels that some content is…

It would be even better if they fixed recommendations. If you do not use a web browser - ie use Roku, Chromecast, Android etc - then you cannot mark something as "not interested". So it keeps showing you the same thing over and over again, that you do not want to watch. Makes the service seem dumb and hostile. Don't get me started on them showing you stuff you already watched and don't need in the prime positions for recommendations - it is already watched.
Even more bizarre is how they predict how many stars you'll give something, which seems fairly good. And then go ahead and recommend items with few predicted stars.
I'm almost convinced that all their developers only use desktops and browsers, so they don't even realise what they do to those on other platforms.

I have found the USPS to be extremely reliable. What issue have you had, and have you reported thos issues to your local post office?
Reliability varies with branch. I've been generally quite content with the USPS, but my current home has:
* mail regularly misdelivered (1-2 piece of mail/month, including small packages that fit in the mailbox). Who knows what mail I've missed that went to someone else's house. * They won't deliver larger packages to my house (busy street), BUT the office remains ignorant of this despite regular visits and I usually have to get bumped up to a manager before they "find" my package after insisting it is on the truck. * ...But they do deliver packages on Sunday (When Amazon is paying them to) * Package slips aren't always given. Followup slips DEFINITELY don't happen.
After being happy with the USPS most of my life, I now have all my amazon packages delivered to a locker because it's easier to always have a small amount of inconvenience than have general convenience (UPS and FedEx to the house direct) mixed with extreme inconvenience (USPS making me wait longer to get the package, at hours that don't work well with a 9-5 work schedule)
Re: A directory of Netflix's “secret” categories
#55I don't understand Netflix's aversion to letting me find shows I'm interested in. It's so hard to just browse the full catalog, even by really general categories like "Action" or "Comedy". When I pull up the Netflix app on my console all I get are 20-25 movies in each category, plus my Queue and a few recommendations.
I'm equally confused by their continued practice of making it harder to see my queue. I mean, these are shows I've said I want to see, why make it hard to find?
Add to that that they haven't created an "add to my queue when new episodes come out" option and how shows have been on/off availability rapidly and Netflix isn't nearly as useful as it used to be.
Re: A directory of Netflix's “secret” categories
#56I've always longed for better filtering/sorting options on the home screen. Currently I believe you have to go into one of the category screens to have sorting options. My other pet peeve with Netflix is the duplication of content across several of the home screen categories. Some are almost identical at times, just in different orders.
I would love to sort on rating, and I've never seen a way to do that. It would be the single biggest thing that would increase my use of Netflix.
Yep, I dream of setting a ">200 ratings under 4 stars" type filter. Would make finding new films much easier.

#57Just by guessing a couple numbers I found more:
Goofy Crime Movies: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/10001

Maybe Netflix is claiming Trailer Park Boys now. That is totally Canadian. It's not a rocket appliance.
They do call it a "Netflix Original", which I guess means it's "original" in the sense that Arrested Development was an "original" (i.e. first run episodes)
It's an "original" in the sense that Netflix has produced some content in the series.

#59I got existed for: "Dark Comedies 869". Man its difficult to find these kinds of movies. Unfortunately there was not 869 of them but just 6. I have seen them all. One of them was amazing; "Sightseers" if anyone wants a movie tip.
I get 28 results for Dark Comedies. Do you want me to share the list with you?

There's one main mail carrier who delivers your stuff and he's slacking. He'll continue to get away with this if you don't complain.
UPS and FedEx are no better. I guarantee if you had a problem with one of those services, you'd complain. I've had a FedEx guy park across the street from my house three times, only to not deliver my laptop (I think he was just letting his truck get a GPS fix on him being there) and I only finally got it when I chased the truck and then his eyes were totally bloodshot. Guy didn't even get out of his damn truck.
