Best practices, tips, and tricks:
– Keep up with Netflix’s official social media accounts for updates on release dates and trailer releases.
– If you haven’t seen the original series or read the books/comic books that some shows/movies are adapted from, it’s worth checking them out before watching. There nothing awkward like watching a movie that doesn’t surpass the original literature.
– Take note of Netflix’s “What’s new” section for the month and/or week, often listing dates for upcoming releases of big shows.
– As a point to note, Netflix operates in a way that differs from other channels such as Amazon Prime and others, as it drops all its episodes at once. It’s easier to identify when a new season starts.
– Consider creating separate profiles for different genres within your Netflix account. This way, you are offered curated movie/on-going series selections and are not mixed up by shows you may not be interested in.
– If you find yourself stuck on what to watch, Netflix has an auto-recommendation feature that suggests titles for you based on your viewing history and ratings.
