Netflix is filled with some of the most binge-worthy television show series of all time!

Netflix provides its viewers with a commercial free experience, constant suggestions for new shows to watch based on your preferences, and original shows and movies that are highly addictive. The Netflix phenomena has led to the classic meme asking people if they want to “Netflix & chill?” and even though they raised their monthly fee by a few dollars in recent months, people are not looking to give it up anytime soon. Netflix has changed the way people watch television! Millennials and young adults across the board are ditching regular TV that comes through cable or satellite, and using Netflix instead for their entertainment needs.
