Who hasn’t closed Netflix in a huff after wasting half an hour just looking for something to watch? There are literally thousands of titles on the streaming service, but it can sometimes feel like the opposite when the same titles seem to pop up over and over again
Ville Salminen, known as CrazedEli on Reddit, heard the people cry out and launched Flixableon Friday. It’s a search engine for Netflix which lets you browse by genre, release date and even IMDb rating. Salminen told Mashable that he started the site to learn more about programming but after hearing other reddit users complain about Netflix’s limited browsing options, he realised ‘there’s still a demand for a site like Flixable.’
Flixable cuts down the time you spend looking for something to watch. It orders the results by release date and rating so you could watch, for example, the best cult movies released in the 1980s, or even the worst movies released in a specific year if you wanted to. Netflix’s current thumbs up/thumbs down rating system hasn’t helped all that much either according to users, recommendations seem barely tailored to you when almost everything seems to be a 90 percent match.

Every Guy Carrie Dated On Sex And The City
Bill Sage
Our first experience of Carrie hooking up, Kurt is also Carries first experiment of having sex with no feelings. The only fabulous thing she's ever done, despite what she may think of herself, she leaves him straight after climax, not returning the favour. AN ICON.
Cane Peterson
Carrie simply LOVES not learning her lesson to date immature men and spends a weekend flouncing around on skateboards and reading comics. There wasn't even a takeaway lesson from this one, just Carrie being a dickhead. Yet again.
Ed Fry
This guy helped us solve the age-old dilemma – what do you do if your one-night-stand assumes you're a prostitute and leaves you $1,000. Answer? You keep it. Not your fault he's a presumptious fool.
Patrick Breen
This long term romance, aka two episodes of Hamptons fun, saw Carrie entertain the idea of a doctor boyfriend. Of course, she crumbles to pieces seeing Big with his new girlfriend, never to see Dr Meego again. Not even for therapy, which she desperately needs.
Richard Joseph Paul
This is the guy that gets 'addicted' to Carrie as a replacement for alcohol. Why? Who actually knows, the womans a nightmare.
Jon Bon Jovi
In another episode of 'all the ridiculously famous men you never realized were on SATC', Bon Jovi is the living embodiment of everything Carrie does wrong in relationships. She falls for a guy in her therapist's office, where she's trying to figure out why she always chooses the wrong men, who reveals after sleeping with her that he's in therapy because he 'loses interest after sex'. Carries life summed up in one sentence.
Eddie Cahill
In an episode that proved Carrie is about as politically aware as a fig, Sean played her bisexual boyfriend. She couldn't quite get on board with the fact that Sean was attracted to both women and men, feminist icon that she is.
Craig Bierko
Sometimes, I swear Carrie dates men just so she can use a good metaphor to describe them. Simultaneously playing Jazz music and her, Ray fell short when he couldn't focus on her for more than 2 minutes, literally.
David Duchovny
Taking Carries ability to understand mental health issues to that all-time low, this episode sees Carrie reunite with her high school sweetheart only to learn he's in a mental health facility. His year-long stay is what gets it for her, even though it'd probably do her some good to join him.
Chris Noth
Love him or hate him, he's what she bloody deserves. Not the painful back and forth through 6 seasons, that's not anything you'd wish on your worst enemy, but in the end she CAN'T be with a man like Aidan. She's selfish, needy and whiny. An all round dickhead if you will. And Big is the shaft to her bellend, one cannot survive without the other.
John Corbett
The human embodiment of a puppy dog, Aidan is Carrie's antithesis and frankly, far too good for her.
Dean Winters
A lesson in how to choose a fuck buddy, Dean plays carries 'in-between relationships' guy. While Carrie has awful taste in dateable men, she has a rare stroke of luck with this one since he is PERFECT fuck buddy material being the most boring person on earth but good in bed. She doesn't see it that way, of course, but who expects to date their fuck buddy anyway?
John Slattery
Exploring all the aspects of modern day relationships as it did (eye roll), this episode saw Carrie encounter a man with a golden shower fetish. TBH we don't blame her for running from this one, how the fuck are you meant to orgasm with piss all over your chest?
Ron Livingston
The whiniest, most insecure of all men Carrie dated, Berger gave us all the tell-tale signs of men to avoid. Toxic masculinity in-carnate, Jack Berger proves that insecure men don't always throw fists to prove they've got balls, they ride SUPER FAST motorbikes because they're SUPER COOL.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
EW. LET ME REPEAT. EW. This ridiculous, confusing choice of love interest for Carrie frankly lasted far too long for my liking. WHO, I MEAN WHOOOO moves to Paris for a man that is so patronizing, egotistical, uptight and dismissive of her career/feeling/life?? This man's demise could not come soon enough, I begrudge the entire season 6 for this sole reason.
Timothy Olyphant
Her Mr. Big rebound who lived like an ABSOLUTE pig put us off 'twenty-something guys' before we even turned twenty.
Vince Vaughn
Otherwise known 'Men Are Trash', Vince's character tells her he's Matt Damon's agent when he's really Carrie Fisher's personal assistant. But you know, Carrie can't move past anything ever in life so, he was a gonner after one episode.
Bradley Cooper
Ahh a young Bradley Cooper. Somehow his long locks manage to look more grease-ball than rough around the edges on SATC. He's one of her many 'I'm fabulous but need the validation of a man to feel it' hook-ups.
Justin Theroux (Part 1)
Playing a superficial writer, Justin was another man Carrie used to get over Mr. Big, not that he was complaining.
Justin Theroux (Part 2)
What do you know, a season later Justin Theroux returns unrecognizable with a buzz cut. In yet another example of toxic masculinity, Vaughn can't communicate his 'shortcomings' leading what would've been a fabulous pairing into sad sad demise.
What’s also great about Flixable is that there is an entire section dedicated to titles that are due to leave Netflix which means you can make sure you catch something before it leaves the site forever. (Freaks and Geeks is leaving February 1st!)
Flixable originally could only be used by U.S. Netflix users but Salminen was nice enough to listen to reddit users who asked him to open the service for other countries including the U.K, Canada and Finland. If you don't use Netflix, there's no need to worry! Salminen said he's also talking to Hulu bosses about making a version for that streaming service too.
