So, Netflix tries to simplify things. They recommend TV shows, movies, documentaries, etc. based on your interests.
They also have a series of highlights at the very top of the homepage, as well as a top 10 list that is updated daily. Your watch history also informs what Netflix may recommend to you next under the “Because you watched” section.
