TV controls are fucking bollocks.
Almost none of them include a keyboard, so if you're attempting to type something in you'll have to fuck about for ages with a fiddly piece of shit. Netflix is not at fault for that.
TVs and set-top-boxes are also absurdly underpowered and slow as shite, so you often have around a second (or even more) of delay between input and response. Again this is not the fault of Netflix.
Finally, iPlayer, 4oD and all the other things I've used suffer from exactly the same issues.
Certainly they could index stuff alphabetically, but that's an issue of content arrangement, not of the interface itself.
