For me, part of the issue is Netflix doesn’t remember for long enough what I have recently watched. All too often its recommendations are filled with things I’ve already watched, making it more difficult to find anything new.

To make it worse, they can be really annoying with different cover art. All too often the recommendations will include something with an unfamiliar cover art that I “haven’t” seen, only to realize that I did see it recently but under a different cover art or preview scene.
