Quiz: What should you be watching on Netflix right now?

The choice is too overwhelming


Netflix employs complicated algorithms based on forensic metrics, in order to determine what you should be watching.

Algorithms sound clever – which is why it is baffling that it is so rare that Netflix nails it. Users sit, scrolling desultorily through page after page of films that are “recommended for you” – and give up after noting that it’s been forty minutes, and they’re yet to find something that appeals.

We know you better than that – this quiz uses your personality, rather than the utilitarian measures that Netflix uses, to work out what you should be watching right now.
