I've not seen that behaviour in the circumstances you seem to be having (am I right in understanding that it always prevents you watching certain titles, while always allowing others?)

The loading ball may hang on 25% for a while if you have low bandwidth. It will hang on 24% if you have no bandwidth at all. If your internet connection speed is unstable, you may see this behaviour if you have a moment of poor speed coinciding with you starting a new programme. Netflix's bandwidth-adaptive tech is second to none so it is quite rare even on a poor connection for a programme to stall once it's going and has a reasonable buffer.

Have you tried going into your Netflix app's settings and running its internal speed/connectivity test?
