Also, I did another query that dealt with searching through titles. The Catalog is very nice - I will definitely be working more with it in the future.

Pulling data is no slower than hitting other APIs. The Netflix OData API is in preview mode so I was <strong>not</strong> expecting it to be perfect, but thus far it has been great. There is a bug right now where some genres are not loading videos, which I think is on the Silverlight end but I haven't tracked it down yet. Everything is loading async so it is pretty responsive while you are waiting. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

Can't wait to try it out. Is there a noticeable lag when the service is pulling data from Netflix? Excellent post. Can’t wait to try it out.
