We just renewed our membership after almost a year thinking they had worked the "kinks" out after our numerous complaints about how annoying it was for us to go upstairs to our kids room and enter the password (which by the way was shown as we typed it so we had to get the kids to turn their back to the tv) and it was ridiculous that we had to UNBLOCK "Finding Nemo", and other kid movies because they were rated NR so our parental control lock thought they were inappropriate. Well we were told that they had a new parental control system 12/22/13 and guess what now?

We set up our kids to watch only to "***" movies, TV-14 and up should've been blocked and all they have to do is scroll down to me or their dad's profile and ta-da they can watch any movie they want! There is no passwords at all!

I contacted them to complain and the rep actually said is "I know what you mean. I can take your feedback is all." I am sick of how ignorant this company is!

Besides the fact that Netflix provides good entertainment. Their parental control sucks!! That's all.

If the password worked the way you wanted it to who is to say that the tech savvy child of today could *** it very easily.All they have to do is guess your password with a unlimited amount of tries.You need to shut off the tv and take your kids outside to play.I know people with kids who do not even own a tv or kindle or tablet etc.Why fill all their heads with junk anyway?Oh yeah because with tv you have a bulit in babysitter.

hey *** walk your lazy *** upstairs and spend time with your kids, NF is not a babysitter nor responsible for shielding your kids from movies you think aren't appropriate

For only 7.99 a month, about .30cents a day, NF provides for your fmily 1,000s of TV shows and movies. There have been a lot of improvements and more on the way.

Can't please everyone. Of the over 40 Million Members, you'd be surprised how many complain that they have to use a password at all. You are paying for content that NF provides and it is nice that the user interface is as customizable as it is, for Members to get a variety of home pages and NF user experience. That's a LOT that NF is providing and doing for you for a very low rate!

Quit griping and appreciate what you have! NF could easily charge twice as much for all they are providing!

This, obviously coming from someone with no kids. Parental controls exist in almost every form of media available and I think it would be great to allow my kids to use netflix without requiring me to be in the room at all times.

Also, this isn't the only argument for password protected profiles. What about when a family member decides they want to use your profile to watch a reality show, leaving you to have to deal with idiotic reality show spam for the duration of your profile.

You can't tell me that NF hasn't had QA in this department. They have simply chosen to leave this feature out.
