Unnatural Selection (or stylized as, "unnatural selection") is a 2019 American documentary television series. It presents an overview of genetic engineering, particularly the DNA-editing technology of CRISPR, from the perspective of scientists, corporations and biohackers working from their home.[1][2] The series was released on Netflix on October 18, 2019.

According to reviewer Dream McClinton, writing for The Guardian, "For the [film-makers], the series had to tell the broader, more intricate story of genetic engineering, a story filled with great risk, benefits, consequences, emotions, sentiments and future, to better illuminate the field and further the discussion on the technology ... The series is haunted by feelings of ambivalence from the scientists who are cautious about tipping the scales towards a possible dystopian future .. Unnatural Selection demonstrates the worry of many, and the hope of others, threaded into a huge tapestry of possibility of a more perfect future ... While [one of the film-makers] doubts the series will change the minds of the public about genetic engineering, [he] hopes it will educate some about both the benefits and risks of genetic engineering."[2]

I am new to all this. I use Roku Express and receive Netflix fine. When I am browsing through all the movies and select one for more information, it starts playing automatically, even while the screen with the choices of Play or add to Mylist are still visible - and I haven't chosen one.

Both autoplay settings are off in my account (autoplay next episode and autoplay previews) but I still see the behavior that OP mentioned - the movie or episode starts playing in the secondary information screen that comes up with you select a show or movie.

For more information about that channel's features and functionality, you'll want to contact Netflix support directly to inquire further. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves.

Problem: Within a few seconds of navigating to the secondary menu (to read the title summary and decide to watch or add it, with options to click on like Play or Resume, Episodes and More, More Like This, Audio and Subtitles, Rate This Title, etc.) the title starts playing before I've made any selections.

This does not occur on any of my other 5 devices so it seems unique to your platform. I have already tried Netflix for a solution. It is very disruptive and distressing. Thank you for guiding me to a solution this problem.

@Sparkl8 yes. Im having this same issue and, like you said, it is different from the autoplay issue that netflix has a check box for. This is the only place i could find anyone mentioning it, so I also thought it may be an issue just with the roku ap. Otherwise it would be talked about elseware because it is very annoying. Especially when something starts playing and then you back out to find it is now on your "continue watching" lis

I agree! To help get this issue resolved more quickly, as many people as possible please contact Netflix (call or start chat on Neflix help page) and let them know you are having this problem of: Titles playing without prompting within seconds of navigating to the info page menu. I used Netflix's chat function a little over a week ago and once they finally realized this was a "new" problem (and NOT auto preview or auto next episode), they promised to research the issue and started by asking me a lot of detailed questions. Like what date did the problem start, what devices does it do it on, version number of NF app software, etc. Unfortunately, I do not remember when the problem started for me, but I told them about this thread and that the first post was Dec 2019. So Netflix needs more info from more people to solve the problem.

This has been happening to me even BEFORE I started using Roku. It isn't a new problem. I have had netflix for a few years now. It has always done this. I disabled both autoplays, but it still doesn't fix this particular issue. I contacted netflix about it maybe a year ago or so. I was told that's just the way it is & there's nothing I can do about it.

The latest series of the hit Netflix documentary, Full Swing, landed on our TV screens on the 6th March, and while I generally enjoyed binging my way through it, I couldn't help but feel for Keegan Bradley.

The series offers a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of some of the biggest names in golf, with this season ramping up the intensity by documenting the build-up and events of the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome.

I must admit, I wasn't expecting to have such an emotive reaction to the Zach Johnson's leadership style as US Ryder Cup captain, but I found myself questioning whether omitting Keegan Bradley was a foregone conclusion.

Episode six begins with an overview of the main players in contention for a captain's pick on the US Ryder Cup team. Each shares their desire to tee it up in Rome, and shares a very logical determination to play their best golf and earn a place on merit. Something that stuck with me, however, was an early admission of anxiety from Keegan Bradley.

The six-time PGA Tour winner said "A whole generation of guys that I came out with are gone. The younger, good players like JT (Justin Thomas), Jordan (Spieth), Collin Morikawa and Scottie Scheffler, these guys that are such great players and incredible guys. They sort of grew up playing together, and they all went to huge schools, and they all were the best players. So I feel a little bit like I am on the outside looking in... I feel a lot like I am."

That sentiment was also backed up by golf journalist Dan Rapaport, who suggested "Keegan is probably fighting a little bit more of an uphill battle, just because he is a little bit older, and he is not part of this crew that moved through the last Ryder Cups together".

With two Ryder Cup appearances to date, albeit on the losing team on both occasions, Keegan Bradley is aware that his window of time to make another is potentially running out. Nevertheless, after a huge win in his home state, at the Travelers Championship, he certainly appeared confident that a positive call from Zach Johnson may be on the way.

It was revealed in the series that he still has his unpacked 2012 Ryder Cup suitcase, which serves as an apt metaphor for the unfinished business he feels still lingers over his past Ryder Cup participation.

Ultimately, the decision on selection lands with Zach Johnson. The two-time Major Champion explained in the series that there are a number of factors that affected his decision on selection including experience, form and how they fit in the team room with the top six.

This concern peaked later in the episode, when the focus turns to Hoylake and the Open Championship. Throughout the episode, it was clearly no secret that Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler have a very strong and friendly relationship with the Ryder Cup captain.

Which is fine, I suppose, but the imagery created by all four 'buddies' sharing a house together at the Open, while Keegan video calls his family from a hotel room alone, said about everything that could be said for Keegan's chances of selection.

The jovial discussion around selection, raised by Jordan Spieth at the dinner table in a bid to eek information from a tight-lipped Zach Johnson, exemplified the beneficial access to the captain's ear that wasn't necessarily afforded to all players fairly.

One thing I will say to the contrary is that Johnson doesn't get drawn into selection discussions, and maintains a neutral stance on the surface, but the banterous nature of that particular conversation felt slightly inappropriate nonetheless.

The scene ends with Johnson saying "I would love for this team to win", and in the lingering pause that follows, the cynic in me couldn't help but wonder if the 'this team' aspect of that statement pertained to the three gentleman joining him for dinner.

Anyone who has had a job interview for a role they really wanted, and waited by the phone in nervous anticipation, will relate to the feeling you get when it finally lights up and buzzes as being both the best and worst feeling all wrapped into one.

Keegan's reaction to the bad news of not being selected was as you would expect, honourable and admirable. A good luck wish, absent of fury or resentment, to a team and a captain he would have walked through walls for.

You only have to fast forward a couple of episodes to see Keegan Bradley cheering on the US Team from his home, surrounded by his family. In a display of what can only be described as selfless devotion to his team, Bradley explains to his son, "We need to cheer louder to get this team going".

He also later shares that "There is no wrong decision for who is on the team, everyone is such a great player". "I love these guys, and one of the main reasons I wanted to make this team is I wanted to be around these guys, the energy that they have. I see the way JT prepares and practices, and If I was a captain, I would want him in my locker room".
