The reason they never updated it beyond slight updates whenever the OS got a boost was the failed TVii integration. Mere weeks after that is shut down in the US and Wii U netflix is now feature comparable to the other console/smart tv versions.

Interesting theory. I never realized the correlation in the timing between the two events, but it makes sense.

Best part of the update is that I can now watch on the TV but use headphones on the GamePad for sound.
Well, and profiles.

Definitely. I'm also glad that I can resume progress normally now. Before, whenever I tried to resume where I left off, it would just start the episode over from the beginning.
The interface is a lot more functional as well.

Watched Return to Sender with the wife. Pretty good thriller that kept us guessing until the end. Definitely recommended to those who liked Gone Girl.

Are you sure this is for today? Mister Rogers Neighborhood and Risky Business have been up for a while.
Sometimes things get repeated. I add them just in case, since I switch around the regions, I'm never 100% sure.

some favorable reviews for the new aziz ansari show...comparing it to louie. anyone watch it yet?
I will watch one or two tonight. It looked good from the trailer.
Not sure how good the service actually is compared to adfreetime, unblock-us and the like, but for those interested here is a lifetime subscription to Getflix for $39.
F is for Family teaser trailer. Hitting Dec. 18th.
And the Peter Capusotto movie was added this week!
Something I actually expected to happen basically never :O
EDIT: and they added 'A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence"' in the US. Neat, heard good things and wanted to see that one.

I feel like I've been waiting forever for 'They Live' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096256/reference to make it's way to Netflix. Anyway to check when it was last available streaming?
I don't think so. I don't think I ever seen it on there either.
Amazon has the rental for $3-4.

Yeah that was the only thing I could come up with too. Hopefully one day Amazon put it on Prime. Hopefully.
I see 0 mentions of any of you lot having seen Wild Tales, you all disappoint me greatly 
It's on youtube though (probably not legally so I doubt it'll be there for long), if you are willing to search for it.
It was on a while ago, no idea when it was removed.

Harbinger Down is out?
I remember backing the Kickstarter.

Have you seen it before?
The rental price is worth the fight scene alone.

I added it to my list when it hit Netflix. Just have to find time to watch it.
Yea it was ok. I hadn't heard of it before and was surprised it was a Kickstarter. Wasn't terribly original but entertaining.
Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief is on Netflix now (Netherlands(/BE/LU), Scandinavia, Spain/Portugal, Italy, Japan and South American regions).
If you haven't seen this documentary yet, definitely go out of your way to watch it. It's mind boggling how this cult is allowed to exist and protected by US law as a religion. Spends a lot of its focus on how they (ab)use celebrities and Tom Cruise in particular to stay relevant.
Excellent documentary (based on an even better book), watch it.

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
When I saw that this was released I rushed to Netflix. How odd, I think. I love Roy Andersson's movies and usually Netflix is right on their money when it comes to rating. Yet, somehow it rates it 1 star out of 5. I'd actually rate it 5 out of 5. I wonder why that is.

Oh, I watched that the other day. I had no idea it was a Kickstarter, it was OK.
I saw it YEARS ago when I was a kid, but I'd like to see it again now I'm older.

It totally feels like Louie with an Indian guy. Aziz is great though. That coffee shop scene though haha
How the hell have I never heard of Rectify on GAF? So good. Been binging Season 1-2 this week, 3 unfortunately isn't on Netflix yet.

Master of None is great so far. Crazy how good the cinematography is for "just" a comedy show.

I couldn't get into Rectify, the first 2 EPs were superboring to me...
It's an acquired taste and very artsy. So it's got a slow build. I wold have passed on it too but I found it during a low point in my life so the slowness actually worked in its favor for me at that time. Great show but it feels like an 80 year old crew wrote, filmed, and edited it.
Well given the subject matter it would be weird for the show to be upbeat... It's supposed to be melancholic.
I haven't watched s3 yet (really need to get around to that), but the first two seasons are incredible and some of the best tv I've watched in the last years.

Any good movies on Netflix similar to The Collector? I've been scouring it but, I know I'm missing some hidden gems.
For some reason I can't get my Chromecast to play Netflix. Google Play is fine and Netflix on the phone is fine too. It throws some ui-110 error that, of course, isn't in the error list on their site. Resetting everything doesn't help either. Guess I will not be watching anything tonight.

Nice. I'll sit down with a nice big tuna fish sandwich and watch.
