Lennart (ID: 000000d6fb317016) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/25/2021 Works. At least for what it's intended to do. I think it pulls in things only visible/accessible from the page you're on so: 1) You are able to manipulate what it randomizes among(such as "British TV Shows") 2) You are limited by Netflix itself. I don't think there's a place on their website where you can see their entire catalogue.
