Since the invention of the television, watching TV and movies from home has been one of the world's favorite pastime. It was not until the rise of video streaming in 2007 that the world's favorite pastime got a facelift. Little did anyone know at the time that streaming would change the TV and movie industry forever. Netflix was and is the leader of this charge towards video streaming. Their massive catalogue of not just blockbuster films and award-winning TV shows, but also Netflix original programming continues to set them apart from the competition. The Netflix studio has created and continues to create award-winning programs such as Orange is the New Black and Stranger Things. It is this quality of programming coupled with the massive library of titles available to users at any point in time that makes Netflix a worldwide phenomenon.

To use Netflix, viewers must subscribe to the service and pay a monthly fee. This subscription allows them to watch on as many devices as they please, for an unlimited amount of time, from almost everywhere in the world. Before the onset of Netflix's streaming service, this kind of entertainment availability was unthinkable. Not only does the app allow for its users to stream videos over wifi, but it also allows for them to download TV and movies directly to their device to watch on the go, regardless of internet connection.

Netflix is currently offered in one hundred and ninety countries throughout the world. It is offered for any device that connects to the internet such as Mac and Windows computers, Apple and Android mobile phones, tablets, smart TVs, and even the iPod touch. Netflix is offered in English, Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, Finnish, Greek, Danish, Dutch, Polish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Japanese, German, French, Turkish, Portuguese, Italian, Korean, and Swedish. In each of the one hundred and ninety countries that Netflix is available in it has different content available depending on the tastes of the general population. Not only is the content customized to the country, but Netflix goes above and beyond by selecting programing that each viewer would personally enjoy.

Overall, there is a reason that Netflix is the best rated streaming platform in the world. The professionalism behind all of their Netflix originals, their massive library of high-quality content, and their ease of use and flexibility of the platform continues to set the standard for the market. Watching Netflix is slowly becoming synonymous with watching TV.
