Their recommendations.<p>Despite their overtures to help this, they've really been chasing a red herring. Their big $1M challenge got people to give them a 10% better way to predict what an arbitrary movie's rating would be. But that doesn't actually help.<p>The only thing I want to know is a list of movies that I'm likely to love (and perhaps a warning list of those I'm likely to hate). It's quite alright if they mistake a 4.5 for a 5, and it's alright if there are false negatives.<p>But they still do a lousy job on the actual recommendations, because they're trying to solve the wrong problem.

Availability, I am not sure why(damaged, lost, whatever ) parts of series are unavailable but they don't seem to replace them. I have added several TV series that are a few years old(stuff that isn't on everyone's must watch list but still available on DVD at amazon) and approx. 30% is unavailable.

The lack of content to be streamed, which has more to do with the studios than with Netflix.

Scratched discs which hang right at the most exciting part of the movie.

not being able to clear an account's movie history (whether for privacy or just a change in preference that affects recommendations).<p>no android client.

Can't get Netflix (streaming) outside of the US.
