Why Everyone Is Talking About Netflix

What’s the deal? Revolutionary American television streaming platform Netflix is coming to Australia.
No! Yes!
I just have one question. What is it, exactly? It’s a popular streaming platform with more than 27 million users in America.
Is it the only one of its kind? No. But Netflix is the original. And probably the best. Programs load fast and don’t chew up your data or storage allowance.
That sounds promising. It’s smart, too: its recommendations are on point. Need something to watch on girls’ night? On a (third) date? It has you covered. But how do they know? They spend millions of dollars on user research, studying what people are watching, why and when.
That’s amazing. Want to know something else they spend millions on?
Tell me. Their original content. They were one of the first non-studio companies to start making their own TV shows. Now, they’re snatching Emmys right from under HBO’s nose.
What are some of their shows? They’re big. House Of Cards, Orange Is The New Black, heard of them?
Of course! I love them. OK, when is it launching? Today.
How much will it cost? Not very much at all. It starts at $8.99 for the basic package and gets to $14.99 for the top tier offering (streaming on four devices in high definition). Netflix is coming.
