Netflix is Netflix, that's not what this review is about. It's about the app itself. It's a hot mess. Incredibly badly optimized, doing all the things you don't want it to. Android TVs are not powerful devices, so how about you first load the UI and all the components, before trying to play all the trailers? How about you don't hog up the main thread with god knows what? It's not that hard to make an app you can navigate while content loads in the background. I do that for a living.

The new UI update is absolute garbage. We used to be able to see 15+ titles at once. Now the Android TV version UI shows exactly 4 titles at any one time. It makes navigating and finding something to watch a chore. Bring back the old UI or at least give the option to change the layout/change zoom level so that we can actually see multiple titles at once. I shouldn't need to go on PC just to find a show and add it to my list so that I can watch it on my TV.

Works okay, but compared with Netflix apps on other platforms, this one on Chromecast with Google TV is terribly irritating. It won't let you read an episode summary without at the same time blaring out a clip wth sound, and when the clip finishes, it starts playing the episode without being asked to. Also has as default to play the next episode directly when the current one is finished, as if everybody was a binge watcher.
