It wasn't just the content, it was the delivery of watching whatever you chose whenever you chose and wherever you chose for a reasonable monthly fee. Even without a massive catalogue it was 1000 times better than cable and the existing services that charged stupidly high fees for on demand temporary access.

It did have a lot of movies in addition to the series though, even if I had seen most of them because they started with the popular ones.

Honestly, what I miss most about early Netflix was the insane library they had of documentaries

Good documentaries from quality sources too, like Planet Earth!

Not the sensationalist garbage they put out under their brand now.
