I get annoyed by the next episode thing too, mostly cause I try to watch one episode of House of Cards or whatever per day, and keep it at that.
The way Netflix figured out its category system is hilariously bad research. Why you'd think a bunch of genres spat out by Hollywood producers would be generalizable to the population at large, I don't know, but despite NPR's puff piece I and most people I know do not like their category system at all. Their recommendations are usually presumptious and bad because they focus on too-specific aspects of whatever you just watched or just don't make any sense at all.
I'd also like to be able to see descriptions without clicking a link. Of course, I've had this problem since Fall 2013, so do these updates come out in a staggered fashion like they do on Facebook?
