We have Netflix as part of our package deal and didn't even know they had movies.
In fact, I didn't really know what is on that platform.
I need to out out of 1996.

We BHW members are strong enough to create change.
I'm not smart enough, nor do I really care about that, but I know you are.
Go at it, I'll even pay for any BSTs that would affect the change, as long as they are not negative but rather workarounds
Shaking things up is usually a good way to make the world a better place.

To be fair, I really don't follow these ratings (imdb, rotten tomatoes, and other ranking sites). If I am curious about a particular movie, I go to local forums and read real opinions, just to make an idea. If, after I read the movie summary + the reviews, I conclude I have to watch that movie, I'll go for it.
Have a nice Sunday all!

It's because 90% of Netflix movies suck. They're renowned for being shit. There are exceptions:-
* The Irishman
* Hush
* I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore
* Tramps
* Okja
* Gerald's Game
Just off the top of my head. There are a lot more but the percentage of hits is very low.
They're trying to ban them because most of their movies suck. The problem isn't with the app / extension makers, it's with Netflix funding so many shit movies.
This sort of exists already:-

Netflix really need to work more on buying quality content. In recent times, they've really gone below par.

I do, but not for a yearly sub. I only pay for what I need. At least we could do that and I get what you are saying. I just don’t want creators to vanish.

I found this chrome extension still working:
Trim
Puts the ratings right on the movie cards. Most are below 7 or are new.

I think that's the one I use, too. There are a lot of good movies on Netflix though and there are databases out there that list their catalogue by the highest rated titles.

Netflix's content strategy is a scattershot approach, they mass produce mediocre content and hope something hits. Quantity > quality because they can't be in a position where there's no new content for users to watch.

Just watch the movie, haha. If you get too caught up in ratings, you’ll end up wasting more time than just giving it a shot. If you don’t like it, stop watching halfway through - no big deal.
Personally, I usually check out the trailer first before deciding.
