The Netflix on my Apple TV, for example,
doesn’t show related videos at all, while the
Netflix iOS app has a “More Like This”
section prominently placed on the title page
of a video.
If your Netflix app of choice isn’t serving
up related video, just visit Netflix on your
desktop, hover over a title, click the down-
arrow that appears on the bottom, and then
click More Like This.


REDISCOVER YOUR LIST
So, you’ve found some Netflix videos you’re
dying to watch. Now what? Well, those of us
who were loyal Netflix-by-mail subscribers
will remember the vaunted Netflix queue, a
place where we carefully curated the list of
scores or even
hundreds of
movies and shows
we wanted to
watch.
As it began its
slow shift away
from DVDs and
toward streaming,
Netflix seemingly
tired of the
queue, eventually
renaming it My
List and shuffling it
into a hard-to-find
row in the main
interface.


Luckily, the queue—er, My List—has
regained favor, and you can now find it
prominently positioned at the top of the
Netflix interface for desktop and most other
platforms, which is handy for quickly access-
ing the videos you’ve flagged for later.
On a desktop, you can reorder your list,
just like in the old days. Just click on a title
and drag it up or down. You can also click
Move To Top to jump a selection to the top
of your list.
Another nifty feature of My List for the
desktop is that it notes which of your saved
videos are about to disappear from Netflix’s
ever-rotating selection, so be sure to check
back often before that favorite film heads to a
Netflix competitor.

Yes, your queue—or rather, My List—is still around, and you can rearrange your
list with ease on a desktop.
