The book is even worse than the movie.

Step 1: Sign up for a service like Unblock-Us that lets you change which country's Netflix you see. It only proxies your login details, so the actual video streams just as fast as normal.

Yes I completely agree, it would help me better schedule what to watch for the next week or so.

You can easily see the expiration dates if you switch your queue to the old list display instead of "Netflix Suggests," at least on a web browser. The problem is they don't show expiration dates until about 7 days before they expire. On several occasions a week before the end of the month I've opened Netflix to find…

As long as consumers are paying $4.99 on cable VOD, iTunes, Amazon, and other rental services, and buying new movies on release days, studios are not going to lower the price to 99 cents or 1.99 for Netflix or anyone else for streaming new releases.

I couldn't agree more with your post, Netflix was great and it's starting to get crappy. The other problem I have is that their search filters suck. What if I want to see all the Academy Award winning films, or films with ratings over 4 stars, or a number of other interesting search filters, summer block busters,…

And this is why things like Popcorn Time were created. It is not the fault of Netflix that these things disappear, but the draconian media companies who insist on clinging to dead business models.

You don't NEED to navigate to each individual movie pages to see upcoming expiration dates. If the movie is in your "List", you can go the that page and see some dates in the "Notes" column. I see that 24, Pi and Breakfast at Tiffany's are among the 4/1/14 casualties.

Yeah, browsing the whole library would be nice. Having a comprehensive genre list would make it a little better too. My Mom came and I wanted to put on some hindi movies, so I searched for Hindi. It gave me 6 movies (2 of which weren't in Hindi).

Roku has a great channel Called 'Instant Watch Viewer' that let's you see expiring movies. Not sure it's available for other platforms, but I know it's not the only way to see expiring movies and browse all Netflix content/manage your playlist.

all I know is that they took my fucking King Of The Hill, and someone needs to pay

Nice article, thanks for writing it. Netflix is a great service but one that is rapidly starting to suck. I started with them (like lots of others) on a single rental DVD, went to multiple rentals then Blu-Rays and finally to streaming only. Now I find more and more they have nothing to interest me. I don't want…

I understand why Netflix hides it, they're trying to avoid a negative perception. But you make a valid point. In the end I just feel bad for Netflix and us consumers. Netflix came along and invented a new market, with a business model that consumers loved, and content providers have done nothing but try to shut it…

I've stuck with netflix since day one and I will continue to do so until they expire. There's just no better content provider out there and they do it cheaply and very accessibly. Is that a word? Apparently it is.

I noticed this for me as well, I wanted to re-watch Carl Sagan's Cosmos before the New Cosmos started with Neil Degrasse Tyson and it wasn't on Netflix anymore.. needless to say I had to resort to other means of getting it..

Couldn't agree more, and you nailed it on the head for why I'm thinking of letting my netflix account go. I don't watch TV shows, it's just not my thing. I use netflix to watch movies, and that's all. The truth is, their streaming movie library has gotten progressively worse and worse over the couple of years I've…
