Much as I love Netflix streaming, I'm surprised that anybody finds the limited selection adequate for their entertainment needs. It's great if you just feel like watching something but have nothing in particular in mind. I do that sometimes. But I'm far too likely to embark on projects like this, where I decide to watch particular things, to be happy with streaming Netflix alone.

It's getting better, though. I think about half of the items on my British History list are available streaming.
