The Netflix Play Something feature is perfect for indecisive viewers
Can't decide what to watch? The Netflix Play Something feature will make things a whole lot easier
Nothing is quite as satisfying as cozying up in bed and indulging in a Netflix marathon. However, sorting through endless options—or, worse, finishing a series—definitely presents its challenges. Luckily, the streaming service is here to help those who are a bit indecisive or having trouble letting go of their favorite show. (If you like the Movies Under 90 Minutes section, you're going to love this.)
The new Netflix 'Play Something' feature will likely save you a half hour of searching through titles. On signing in, subscribers are prompted to hit the Play Something button underneath their profile , which in turn presents three choices:
• Play a new film or show that's similar to something you've watched before
• Play a film or show that you've previously seen but might want to rewatch
• Play an episode from something you've started but haven't finished. (Not to worry: you'll pick up right where you left off!)
Essentially, the service makes it simple to settle on something quickly—a luxury for the lazy and the tentative.
