About Netflix

Netflix's large collection of TV shows and movies, including critically acclaimed originals, make it one of the best video streaming services to date. Netflix has an extremely broad catalogue of video content, but it changes all the time. Shows available one day may be gone the next. It's difficult to state authoritatively what is in Netflix's catalogue at any given moment, but that's all part of the fun, right?

Netflix is in a good position with its original productions though, with many titles becoming pop culture phenomenons. This impressive list includes shows like Black Mirror, Bojack Horseman, Dead to Me, Disenchantment, Locke and Key, Orange Is the New Black, Peaky Blinders, Russian Doll, Stranger Things, The Crown, The Stranger, The Umbrella Academy, and The Witcher. Netflix also produces feature films, comedy specials, and documentaries, for those who are looking for something more self-contained. For example, Netflix's recently released El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie received good reviews. Martin Scorcese's The Irishman is another example.

To use Netflix, you need a subscription you can sign up via the app a broadband Internet connection, and an online-enabled device with the Netflix app. Devices such as computers, smart TVs and Blu-ray players, tablets, smartphones and video game consoles support the app, which you can download for free via your device's online marketplace. Once the app is installed and your subscription is active, you sign in with a username and password, and browse the service's video library, which includes **high-definition content**. You can choose to watch commercial-free movies or TV instantly, or add things you want to watch later to your queue.

Plans and Platforms

Netflix has consistently raised its prices for all three of its plans over time. The cheapest option, which costs $8.99 per month, gets you access to Netflix's full content library, but you can only stream in SD quality and on one screen at a time. The $12.99-per-month middle-tier plan allows HD streaming on two screens simultaneously. For families or groups of friends looking to share accounts, the $15.99 four-screen plan might be a more feasible option. This highest tier also unlocks Ultra HD (4K) streaming. If you no longer want to pay for Netflix (or want to pay less), follow our guide on how to cancel or modify your subscription.

DVDs on Demand

Netflix began as a DVD-by-mail service, and the company still offers physical discs, but this is now a separate subscription from the Netflix streaming service. You can subscribe directly at dvd.netflix.com (a Netflix company) or add it to your existing Netflix account. The Standard DVD plans start at $7.99 per month for one disc out at a time and an unlimited number of DVDs per month. There are no late fees with this plan; shipping and returns are free as well. The more expensive $11.99-per-month Premier plan gives you all the same features as the Standard one, but lets you take two discs out at a time. If you want HD Blu-ray DVDs, the prices for the Standard and Premier plans respectively increase to $9.99 and $14.99 per month. The main reason to use Netflix's DVD-by-mail service is that it expands Netflix's catalogue. When you can't find a particular TV show or film to stream, you can often find it among the DVDs.

Netflix on the Web

Netflix's web interface uses a dark background, white text, and large media thumbnails. It looks elegant and is easy to navigate via the top menu's sections: Home, TV Shows, Movies, Recently Added, and My List. In the upper right-hand corner, you can use the search bar, manage your profiles, access account settings, and open Netflix's help centre. Account settings go beyond what most other video streaming services offer, with options for email communications, closed captions, parental controls, and playback settings. You can also view recent viewing (content watched) and streaming activity (devices used and when).

The Home tab highlights current noteworthy content at the top and displays a slightly overwhelming number of horizontally scrolling lists of shows and movies across categories, such as New Releases, Popular on Netflix, and Trending Now. Mousing over any content triggers a video preview with sound. You can also give content thumbs up (or down) ratings. Finally, you can add content to My List to save shows and movies you want to watch.

Netflix allows users to broadly sort the Shows and Movies sections by genre and filter the lists of content further based on recommendations, the release year, and alphabetical order. Oddly, there is no dedicated category in the TV Shows' or Movies' genre lists for Netflix's originals. Instead, you need to scroll down to one of the horizontally scrolling sections to find them all in one place. Given Netflix's constantly changing library, information on when things are available until would be helpful, along with an option to add reminders for those expirations.

Netflix attributes much of its success to its tailored user experience. A feature that began in the DVD days, the app offers recommendations based on your viewing history and how you rate the content you've watched. Depending on the device, you can create **individual viewer profiles** for each member of the household. You can also use one account across devices for instance, you might watch half a movie on your smart TV and resume it later on your tablet. In 2013 and 2014, Netflix began making a mark with Emmy-winning original content; subscribers have exclusive access to hit shows such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black.

Netflix on Mobile

Download the Netflix's on Android app on a Google Pixel 3 running Android 10 or the iOS variant on an iPhone 8 running iOS 11. You navigate the app via a set of five menu icons at the bottom of the screen: Home, Search, Extras, Downloads, and More. Netflix's iPhone app offers all the same features as its Android counterpart and looks nearly identical, albeit with some insignificant navigational changes. For instance, the iOS app is missing the Extras' icon in the bottom menu bar. Netflix allows you to download select titles for offline viewing, a now common feature among on-demand video streaming services. The Home tab lets you sort by TV Shows or Movies, as well as access My List entries. The Extras section shows previews of new and notable content based on your viewing history. The More tab hosts all the important app settings, including Netflix's Smart Downloads feature, which is useful for binge-watching. Once you finish watching a downloaded episode, Netflix deletes that episode and automatically downloads the next one. In testing, this feature worked as advertised. You can set network streaming preferences and manage profiles from this section.

Netflix offers lots of family-friendly content, as well as specific content for young children. In your account settings on the web, you can block content of certain ratings behind a PIN code or do the same for individual shows and movies. Netflix is notable in that it allows you to create profiles for up to four different users.
