[Netflix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-thumbs-up) new algorithm is offers its users [more personalization](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dear-algo) as that the graphics of each show are reflective of the viewer's interests.

In short, this shift means that each viewer will see a different graphic for each movie or TV show on the site, based on the show's they have liked in the past. For example, people who watch more action-oriented content will see more action-oriented graphics, like Chris Pratt from guardians of the galaxy firing his pistol, while the comedy-lover may witness a photo of two of the movie's characters laughing together.

Although only a few potential graphics exist for each, hugely popular shows like Stranger Things, will offer its viewers dozens of different options.
