Watching movies and shows on Netflix is quite habitual because of its high-end storylines. But once a series gets over, you always google or youtube many terms like “best Netflix sci-fi show” or similar terms.

But in this post, we are going to discuss an online tool called “Netflix Roulette” that can free you from this hassle of picking up a series or movie to watch.

Want to know more? If yes, let’s begin with the introduction of Netflix Roulette.

What is Netflix Roulette?

It is an online tool that suggests online shows and movies on Netflix based on some key pointer that you entered.

There are four key pointers on which the suggestion is processed. These are genre, type, IMDB ratings, and Reelgood score.

The Netflix Roulette is acquired by a company name “Reelgood” but its existence first came in 2014. And the story of building this tool is quite interesting that we are going to discuss in the next section.

How Netflix Roulette Comes into Existence? A Story of Netflixer’s Struggle

In the year 2014, an 18-year guy named Andrew Sampson had trouble finding new shows on Netflix. He tries to find any tool that does that for him but he finds nothing.

At last, he built an online web tool that suggests the users what to watch based on the genre and format (movie or shows) that the users choose.

In his tool, after selecting the gene and format, the users have to click on the “Spin” button to get their recommended selection.

This tool had only two selection parameters, but it became viral among regular Netflix audiences.

However, in 2017, the company name “Reelgood” asked the Sampson for Roulette API, and the company acquired it. Because Sampson was not interested in maintaining the service as it takes a lot of time to him.

And whenever possible, I always sign up using a sign-up form where I can manually put the email address and password. Comment! What do you think about this?
