Netflix = Net Sucks

On April 8th, Netflix, in their infinite stupidity, announced they are removing the ability to retrieve a customer's reviews from their API, effective May 3rd. No doubt this feature was putting an ENORMOUS resource and financial drain on the company and it just had to go. Never mind that it is an already functioning part of the API, with likely minimal to no development support needed to keep it. This is all just conjecture of course, since they didn't even bother to explain the decision in their announcement!

Therefore, as of May 3rd Netcritix will have to go into hibernation for a while as we reconfigure things to allow our critic to bypass Netflix entirely in providing his reviews. We appreciate your understanding.
