The Good

  • Large Viewing Selection
  • Affordable Price
  • Easy of Use

Large Library Selection

Netflix has over 3,600 movies and 800 TV series available for viewing for their subscribers. Netflix users can access their entire range of shows with unlimited streaming and can have multiple users streaming at any given time. Netflix's original series (such as "Orange is the New Black", "Stranger Things", "Black Mirror", "House of Cards", or "Bojack Horseman") attract even more customers to choose Netflix as their streaming platform. Netflix tends to upload an entire season of a show at once instead of episode by episode. This is attractive for those who would prefer to binge-watch instead of waiting between episodes. 

Affordable Price 

Netflix has managed to maintain relatively reasonable monthly prices. As of May 2019, its most basic monthly price is $8.99. Netflix also offers standard, premium, and family packages. These packages, which cost a few more dollars a month, provide better streaming quality and the availability to stream on multiple screens at once. This is great for families or friends who would like to share their account between multiple people. 

Netflix also offers a free, month-long trial which allows potential subscribers full access to their services.

Easy of Use

Subscribers can set up separate accounts for multiple viewers, including kids. This allows for parental controls to screen for inappropriate content.

Netflix has an algorithm that recommends movies and TV shows related to content the user has previously watched. A user can search for something to watch by title or genre. The interface is extremely user-friendly and intuitive.

The Bad

  • Long wait periods
  • Content changes
  • Viewing quality

Long Waiting Periods

When a movie or TV show is released on traditional television or in the box office, it might take a month or up to a year to be available on Netflix. Netflix has have a lot of great features but it also has a few drawbacks to its services. Mainly, subscribers have to wait to watch new seasons of popular tv shows. 

Content Changes

Netflix adds and removes content from their library all of the time. That means a favorite movie or television show is not guaranteed to always be available to stream. Movies and shows are frequently rotated, which means favorites will not always be available. You may be watching a show one day and it won't be available the next. 

Viewing Quality

Netflix needs high internet speeds in order to function at its best. HD is available with Netflix's Standard and Premium packages, but Ultra HD is only available on Premium. This higher viewing quality comes at a higher monthly price. 

gavel

The Bottom Line

Overall, Netflix is generally more affordable than other providers, commercial free, plays in stunning HD, and offers a free trial period for potential subscribers to test out their services. Netflix has several great original series, an excellent recommendation algorithm to help you find TV shows and movies that you'll love, and the capability to create different user accounts along with parental controls. The main drawbacks are streaming quality and having to wait for new seasons of current hit TV shows.

I enjoy the Netflix service. We disconnected cable many years ago and this has been our go-to. There are shows for multiple ages and you can set a profile for each person in your family. I wish Netflix-created shows had a quicker turnaround for the next season. Waiting for the next season over months or even years is hard. I am overall happy with this service.

I recently considered subscribing to Netflix, but after evaluating the service, I've decided not to purchase it. While Netflix is known for its extensive library of movies, TV shows, and original content. I do not like to buy something, so yeah. But the company is okay.

I really love Netflix because I'm able to stream a lot of movies in which majority of them are the latest ones. And also, I love that I can download to watch offline even though it will only be stored on the app but I love it still. It's a great platform I'm fond of.

Netflix is my old faithful. They have a massive library of shows and movies, and I love that they're always adding new content. However, I've noticed the price keeps increasing while some of my favorite shows have been disappearing. I'm starting to explore other options, but Netflix is still my go-to for now.

Netflix is good but is becoming very woke. Placing ideas in little children shows is not appropriate. Great streaming just needs improving.

The good: Netflix offers a vast library of movies and TV shows, including a wide range of genres and a great selection of original content. It's super convenient to use, with a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to find and discover new shows. The ability to binge-watch entire seasons is a major plus for many people, and the option to download content for offline viewing is a game-changer for those on the go. Plus, the recommendation algorithm is pretty spot-on, suggesting shows and movies tailored to your interests. The not-so-good: One downside of Netflix is that some popular movies and shows may not be available due to licensing agreements. New releases can also take a while to appear on the platform. Additionally, while Netflix has a wide range of content, it's possible to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choices. Lastly, the monthly subscription cost can be a factor for some people, especially if they're already subscribed to other streaming services. Overall, Netflix remains a top contender in the streaming world, offering a diverse selection of content with a user-friendly experience.

Likes:- 1) There are lot of options from TV shows and movies to Netflix exclusives. 2) it's sleek and easy to use , which makes it easy to browse and find good content. 3) I can watch anything whenever I want, without having to wait for tv shows start or end. Dislike:- 1) regular increases in subscription fees make budgeting harder. 2) shows and movies disappearing without notice, leaving viewers with nothing to watch.

"Netflix is a game-changer in the world of entertainment, and I can't sing its praises enough! The vast library of content caters to every taste imaginable—whether you're into gripping dramas, side-splitting comedies, or mind-bending documentaries, Netflix has it all. The user-friendly interface makes navigating through the extensive catalog a breeze. The personalized recommendations are spot-on, introducing me to hidden gems I might have missed otherwise. The ability to create multiple profiles ensures that everyone in the family gets their own tailored experience. Netflix's commitment to original content is truly commendable. From compelling series to blockbuster movies, their original productions are consistently high-quality and often push creative boundaries. I find myself eagerly anticipating each new release. The convenience of offline viewing is a game-changer, especially for those on the go. Whether I'm on a plane or in an area with limited connectivity, having my favorite shows and movies available offline is a fantastic feature. Netflix's commitment to inclusivity and diversity in its content is also worth mentioning. It's refreshing to see a platform that celebrates a wide range of voices and perspectives. In summary, Netflix has become an integral part of my entertainment routine. The variety, quality, and convenience it offers make it a standout streaming service. If you're looking for endless entertainment options at your fingertips, Netflix is the way to go!"

It would be nice if Netflix did not promote social trends and was just for fun. I always thought that the internment sector should include multiple styles and diverse interests of different populations. Also, it would be nice to see old comedy shows like " My Fair Nanny." People need more happiness in their lives.

I have had Netflix off and on for the past several years. The pricing has been pretty decent and the variety of content changes regularly so it keeps me coming back! So many possibilities of things to watch on Netflix from shows, series, new release movies etc! I have several streaming services but Netflix is one of my Staples that I will continue to keep in my home from here on out!

With Netflix I didn't have too many buffering issues or freezing issues like I do with some of the other streaming companies and they have a nice variety of movies shows that in itself is a variety right there do you have some good of their Ellen shows or miniseries and most of those are pretty good as well there's some hilarious ones actually about a gangster who's now out of jail and staying with his cousin who has always been kind of a dork and works that already have where the guys got to go since he's out now, funny. Also usually when Astros been out for a minute I can find it on here

Netflix has great shows whether it be a series or movie. They always have new Netflix originals. When I think there is nothing else to watch 5 shows pop up. It is the best entertainment solo, couples, family, friends and large groups. Must get Netflix!
