Netflix does such a bad job with recommendations for me that I can’t understand what they are doing.

For example, I watch a lot of cooking shows. I just scrolled to the bottom of the recommendations on my tablet and they only suggest two—-and one of those I’ve watched every episode!

They repeatedly fail to tell me about new series of shows I’ve watched, or really obvious connections like “Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner” as I’ve watched “Ugly Delicious”.

The problem seems less of a ML one to me and more of a (lack of) metadata one.

Edit: I plugged “Ugly Delicious” into lazyday.tv and the “Similar Titles” are very random.
