The real problem is that Netflix is not an accessible interface.  There is
virtually no support for keyboards.

I have tinkered with hacking together a Chrome plugin that would add a
cursor and support for the arrow keys, but it proved to be far more
difficult than I had expected due to the way the pages are generated.

I have no doubt it could be done... but not easily.
