Netflix Roulette
With new shows and movies being added to our favorite platforms on a daily basis, Netflix Roulette is a fun way to help you discover your next favorite show or movie. Netflix Roulette. Roulette is a casino game named after the French word meaning little wheel.In the game, players may choose to place bets on either a single number, various groupings of numbers, the colors red or black, whether the number is odd or even, or if the numbers are high (19–36) or low (1–18).
Netflix's library of movies and TV shows is massive. So massive that it can take the length of the average TV show just to find something, anything, you want to watch. Now, thank the internet gods, there's Netflix Roulette: the best new way to make a split-second decision on what to play on the video-streaming service. It's like Chatroulette, but without the NSFW content.
Netflix Roulette takes the eternal question, 'What am I in the mood for?' and automates the answer. All you have to do is choose -- or don't choose -- a genre, star rating, director or actor's name, and keyword and indicate whether you're looking for a movie or a TV show or both.

Then click 'Spin' and let luck (or, rather, algorithms) take it from there. The site spits out a movie or TV show. That's it.
What-to-watch dilemma solved.

The site goes beyond Netflix's somewhat obtuse suggestions -- 'Cerebral 20th Century Period Pieces,' anyone? -- and hones in on one laser-sighted suggestion. Say, for example, you'd like a great film from Ellen Page (X-Men: Days of Future Past put you in that kind of mood). Just type in her name and star rating and, voilà: Ghost Cat! That's her 2003 gem about a 14-year-old girl and her widower father who move into a domicile formerly owned by a cat lady and find 'their arrival is marked by a series of bizarre events.'

Er, um, so maybe Netflix Roulette isn't perfect. But if your Netflix queue is, like mine, clogged with stuff you've already seen or will never watch (seriously, stop trying to make Boss happen, Netflix), then Netflix Roulette might be the best new way to choose your next movie or show.
