I don’t understand it either. Did anybody think that Netflix didn’t know who was watching what and how many times? It’s not like they are revealing the names of people that watch the same thing over and over again.

I just see it as a bit of fun, that people have massively overreacted over. Of course they are going to have this data, it's naive to think otherwise.

Hopefully that winds Hexx up a bit.

I am actually really enjoying it, although it’s rarely laugh out loud funny.

Unfortunately I had previously seen a spoiler for how season one ends, so that’s not going to shock me too much.

Yes, they haven't named people, but nobody likes the idea that someone is sitting in a data centre in LA, laughing at their viewing habits. Someone, somewhere, has access to the names of the people who watch these programs, and users might not like the idea that it's part of the company's marketing strategy to find people with embarrassing viewing habits and call them out on it.

They might not like the idea, but they are pretty stupid if they didn’t know that happened.

You'd probably be pretty stupid if you thought staff in Tesco didn't laugh at about customers behind their backs, but that doesn't mean Tesco should make it their marketing strategy.
