sanjaych9517/Netflix-clone ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a basic Netflix style clone using the MERN stack.

I want a simple app that feels like Netflix, with a clean homepage, a hero section, rows of movie or show cards, and a way to browse content in a modern streaming layout. It should have a backend and frontend working together, with data coming from the server instead of hardcoded everywhere.

Please make it look polished and responsive, so it works well on desktop and mobile. Use placeholder movie posters and titles if needed, and set it up so it would be easy to add real data later. If you think it helps, include simple sections like trending, popular, and recommended content.

Keep it basic and lightweight, since this is just a starter clone. If anything needs current best practice, look up the latest docs online and use the simplest approach that works.
