Scroll down a bit more from your recommended content row and you’ll find Netflix-esque rows of content that are grouped together by genre, a row of recommended videos from YouTube and finally trending shows and movies. For example, on our home screen we have Captain America: The First Avenger (most likely because we binged the Marvel movies in order) and Parks and Recreation, among other comedies and sci-fi films. If you’re familiar with Android TV, this will all look super-familiar to you, but for the uninitiated it’s a veritable smorgasbord of content compiled from different sources. Tapping into your Google account will also populate the main screen of the Chromecast’s UI with relevant and recommended content. For those concerned about privacy, Google Assistant only turns on when the button on the remote is pressed, and you can outright disable the service when logging in with your Google account at startup. Interestingly, this isn’t the first Android TV-based device to incorporate Google Assistant- Sony TVs have been using it for years, and it’s even used by the Nvidia Shield-but it does feel right at home here.
