Update: Currently got her on a free trial with Hulu. The movie variety seems worse but the algorithm is already giving her better movie listings from the start. I have to wonder if something odd was selected by accident when she was selecting 'movies she likes' or whatever Netflix calls the setup? I might just need to delete her Netflix account, select better movie preferences at start-up and get her queued up with movies she likes. I think that will work on a Roku. Although, I'll probably have to check back in a month to upvote stuff. Thanks for the help!
So I got Netflix hooked up to my Mom's old TV but their content sure has changed since last I checked. It doesn't make it any better now that I can't customize her preferences so shes complaining about around 70-80% of the movies being exceedingly raunchy, "murder-porn" (think Southpark) or just dull documentaries. Wonder if theres something better for her?
What she likes: 'Tasteful' comedies, think B style-movies that don't take themselves seriously. Bad acting is a plus. True stories, generally movies that leave you feeling good. Maybe someone accomplishes their dream or gets married, Etcetera. She generally likes Westerns, or Mysteries but dislikes excessive violence.
Anyways, just trying to help my Mom get a better alternative to cable as she is not too tech savvy. I am unsure if this is the place to ask but thanks for any help.
Edit: It would probably be better to say lewd movies. I figured I would try and use her own words as much as possible to describe her tastes.
