11 times Netflix made truly bizarre viewing suggestions
When you watch Netflix, it helpfully suggests other shows and films you might like, based on what you normally watch. Unfortunately, they often seem to have been chosen at random by a drunk teenager.
These are our 11 favourite weird suggestions:
1. The animation about supermarket food that leads to suggestions about war and suicide
2. When Star Trek makes them think you want art lessons
3. When watching a video of an open fire means you want to watch a swords and sorcery epic
4. When a children’s animation about trains gets you a suggestion of a very adult programme about prison life
5. When watching a documentary about police corruption makes them suggest a comedy about a group of young professionals
6. When a biopic of a violent criminal gets you links to a comedy cartoon series and a science documentary
7. When a popular zombie apocalypse drama leads to an animation about magical multi-coloured ponies
8. When a serial killer drama throws up a suggestion to watch a cartoon about a child genius
9. When watching a chef rating restaurants makes Netflix think you’d want to watch a film about a cannibal
10. When a slasher movie about a violent possessed doll leads seamlessly to a cartoon about toddlers
But, our absolute favourite suggestion was this one …
Nailed it, Netflix. Totally nailed it!
