If you define “everything” as “everything that leaves me no dumber that I was before watching” it may happen quickly to be at the end of Netflix’ repertoire. Sadly that’s no search criteria on Netflix. Sometimes I wish I could make something unseen (and “unpicked” in the netflix algorithm) that I started and turned out to be dangerously dull. Instead my recommendations are flooded with more of the dull stuff.
I wish there’d be a list “choosen by people who disliked what you disliked”.
this is just for fun, but I looked up that possibility of seeing ALL of Netflix. I found this answer:
It would be very difficult to give you an exact number but I can give you some clue of Netflix’s total content.
Going off Netflix’s 2019 total catalog they offered 4,010 movies and 1,569 TV shows.
If we say on average that each movie was 90 minutes, that gives you 360,900 minutes.
4,010 × 90 = 360,900
TV shows are harder to estimate but for the purpose of this question I’ll conservatively say each show has 10 episodes averaging 30 minutes. That gives you 470,700 minutes of shows.
1,569 × 10 × 30 = 470,700 minutes
That gives you a combined total of 831,600 minutes of viewing. That’s 13,860 total hours.
831,600 / 60 = 13,860 hours / 24 hours per day = 577.5 days
So from a very broad estimate, you could watch Netflix nonstop for 577.5 days without repeating any programs.
I found a very interesting Australian prime time drama, A Place To Call Home. Much like Downton Abbey it takes place in certain time and the costume and prop work is incredible. 1950s costuming and automobiles, everything from “utes” to limos to sports cars. Acorn TV had a free month and I was able to binge watch the whole series and not feel rushed. Still more to read and more to do than watch Netflix.
No Netflix, CBS special channel, HULU, Disney plus, Britbox, Amazon Prime, Acorn TV or anything else not included in our cable package can’t afford to get everything. Husband bought Roku boxes. Saturday nights since we have been stuck in and can’t go out to the movies he has been turning on the Roku to watch a movie to show me how wonderful it is with the free showings on it.
First night we did this we gave up after half an hour before finding any new movies to see and we kept passing “Leap of Faith”. He decided to watch that. Okay, I know we are not paying – but the commercials were so terribly placed and the same two over and over and not remotely related to anything in our area. I pointed out to him that we could/should have just taken out the DVD of it from our collection of same. This past Saturday after an hour of looking for a new movie he gave up and watched an old spy movie he liked – maybe a Lacarre.

Arlo needs to stop whining about sheltering-in-place. Pick up a book, man! Write to friends & loved ones!

Not possible
The Netflix search and menu system is such a mess that I doubt he could even FIND everything

I must be living the good life as I’ve never watched even one second of Netflix. But their ads make me nauseous.

If I continue to live a good life I will never have watched Netflix for even a second.

Tried to watch “Onward” last night. Bailed after about 20 minutes. Probably should have had some wine first.

I would never be able to watch everything on Netflix as there is so much I would never waste my time watching.

There’s a lot of good, interesting and enjoyable shows on Netflix. It apparently also serves an important part in being today’s intellectual snob.
