Whether you live in South Africa or anywhere else on the planet, the problem of not knowing what to watch is the same. It's easy for all of us to get the impression that Netflix is full of crap or that you've already watched everything you need to watch. There are many reasons as to why this happens, but a big one is how Netflix algorithms work. They're biased corporate algorithms that put in front of you what Netflix spent money on, not what is actually good. To counter that and to solve the frustration of spending more time looking for a good thing rather than watching one, agoodmovietowatch.com suggests human-curated movies and shows. We're an alternative to Netflix's algorithms. We only suggest highly-rated (good) movies. Below is the list of the best ones on Netflix South Africa, but you can find many more by going back to our homepage (click on "all picks" at the top left of the page.)

Curated lists for Netflix, meticulously handcrafted like houseblend espressos.
If there were awards for the weirdest movies, like an Academy Award for Freaky Movie, the ones in this list would have definitely made the roster. But weird doesn't always mean bad in movies, sometimes it means a long discussion afterward with whoever you're watching with. That's why looking back at all the movies I watched, I think there are three categories of my impression to them: movies I liked, movies I didn't like, and movies I talked about for a long time. Below you can find some of my and the staff's picks for our favorite movies under the mood "weird" that are available to stream on Netflix.
After our list for the best movies on Netflix was shared to reach millions of subscribers, we have compiled another list for shows, with just as much care. Like all entries on agoodmovietowatch.com, these are highly-rated and little-known recommendations; they're shows you have yet to watch, and you'll love them once you do. You can find all the highly-rated, little-known show suggestions here. agoodmovietowatch is your gateway to on-demand streaming services, but instead of recommending the same movies and shows to you you've been hearing about for the past 20 years, we focus on the good ones that were overlooked. To do this, we only recommend titles that have received a high rating from viewers combined with a high score from critics. This means that these entries have been appreciated by both, so you can trust that they’re awesome. We also only suggest titles that didn’t make a huge splash at the box office or which didn’t get the attention they deserved, so there is little chance you have already seen them.
Living in Canada or traveling for a little while, you must wonder if there are worthy movies that Netflix Canada has that its southern neighbor does not. The answer is yes, and there is plenty of choice too. We've always said that it doesn't matter which country has the larger collection, what matters is what's in that collection. Canada has better quality movies than the US. That's just a fact. We've been saying this since 2016:
In terms of quality, Netflix Canada actually has a better selection than Netflix US. Movies that Canada has and not America:

agoodmovietowatch is a database of highly-rated movies. Because of this, we know that while Netflix US may have a larger catalog of titles, Netflix Canada actually has a larger catalog of good titles. Our latest count shows that we have 149 good movies for Netflix Canada, and only 120 for Netflix US (to find all the movies we suggest for Canada go back to the homepage and use the region selector in the top bar to choose your country). When you end up on a list like this, you must be accustomed with the confusion and frustration that come with browsing Netflix aimlessly. From our research, this is caused by two things. First, something called the paradox of choice, where the larger the options you have to choose from the harder it is to choose. Second, recommendation algorithms. A while ago Netflix removed their ratings and replaced them with match percentages. What this means is that if you watched a cop movie, you will have a 100% match record with other cop movies, good or bad. Our solution to both issues is a simple website that has a very limited selection of only good titles. We know they're good because they're loved by both critics and viewers at the same time. Below is a list of the best ones currently on Netflix Canada as rated by our users. When you're done with this list, we highly recommend checking out the 40 Best TV Shows on Netflix Canada You Haven’t Yet Binged.
Movies are too short for some, shows too long for others. Enter middle-ground solution: miniseries. Now that the "movies are dying" articles are the only thing that's actually dying, and the "it's the golden age of TV" ones have stopped being news (why does one being in a golden age mean the other is failing?), there is a newcomer to the scene. Perfected by networks like the BBC in the past, the form is attracting growing attention from Netflix and similar platforms. 4 to 8 episodes, one season, done. Creators have more time to express their ideas, but not too long to have to recycle them. Viewers can be exposed to 7 different stories instead of 7 different seasons of Homeland (they made 4 after he died, four). It's the perfect medium, and provided Netflix and the BBC keep coming out with good ones like the 5 below, it will be the future.
A while ago Netflix removed its ratings and replaced them with match percentages. The concept might be interesting but it goes against a very simple principle. Say you watched two good cop movies and liked them, your next viewing should not be a third crappy movie, but a good anything movie. Users will almost always choose a 4 star movie over a 1 star movie, even if the latter matches their preferences by 100%. agoodmovietowatch is a movie suggestion website mainly for Netflix. Here are the 10 highest movies on Netflix, to find all movies and their ratings, please visit agoodmovietowatch.com/netflix.
