Mark Millar

Just to refresh your brain a bit. Netflix bought Mark Millar’s company, Millarworld, to start developing original content with Mark and Lucy Millar for the streaming service. The first thing out of the gate was the comic book The Magic Order, which was Netflix’s first foray into comics and the biggest selling new comic-book franchise in over two decades. Now, we’re getting a couple of new series and three upcoming films to look forward to. The two shows include Jupiter’s Legacy from Steven S. DeKnight and a multilingual version of American Jesus.

Netflix makes browsing for content on TVs much easier

Netflix is introducing a new user interface for TVs to make the browsing experience less of a pain. The new UI, the streaming service says, is a result of “rigorous research and testing” to make sure you have the easiest time looking for titles you might want to watch without being limited by the few buttons on your remote control. According to Netflix, it’s now easier to look for new content on the service as well as to search for either TV shows or movies. The streaming service reasons that “while a member generally isn’t sure what exact title to watch, they have a pretty good sense of whether they are in the mood for a quick series episode or a longer movie experience.” It’s also now easier to access My List and get to the shows or movies you’ve saved there.
