A second back to back post on Netflix! I am sure this thought must have crossed your mind on reading the title. Well, let me assure you that this isn’t a sponsored post.
If there’s one bill I am happy to pay, it’s that of my Netflix account. I am watching movies and series on Netflix since the last 6 months and couldn’t be happier with the service. In this post, I am sharing why I love it and why you should subscribe to Netflix too.
#1. Unbelievable Selection of Movies and TV Series : Netflix has thousands of movies and TV show titles to choose from and stream instantly. There are old classics to new releases with classification of the titles by genre. It’s not just movies and TV shows, you can also watch Documentaries (I watched Wild Wild Country on Osho recently), Stand-up Comedy (watch Netflix Original Vir Das)and Slow TV (Slow TV is any kind of television coverage that occurs in real-time. I watched Train Ride Bergen to Oslo, which covers a seven hours journey from Bergen to Oslo through the lenses of four cameras, both on the interior and exterior of the train and found it truly fascinating.)
#2 Convenient : You can watch all the episodes of a TV series one after the other, so you can watch it in entirety. The episodes are listed one after the other, so there isn’t any hassle of searching for them. Also you can watch it on your TV, PC, Laptop, Mobile, Tablet and more. So This means that I can watch a show on my laptop and my son can watch a movie of his choice on the TV or his mobile. So, no more fights for controlling the remote.
#3. Parental Controls : Netflix allows you to create multiple profiles and you can have one for your kid too. Netflix offers soft and hard parental controls there by ensuring that your child is not exposed to sensitive content. Parental control is provided by using maturity levels to determine what content your child is permitted to view. The maturity levels offered include the following:
- Little Kids: watch movies and TV shows suitable for all ages
- Older Kids: watch movies and TV shows suitable for older kids
- Teens: watch movies and TV shows suitable for teens
- Adults: watch all movies and TV shows, including mature content
#4. No Advertisements : Yes, you heard it right. No advertisements. It’s just pure entertainment without any distraction.
#5. Spot On Recommendations : Based on the my ratings for the show or movie and viewing history, Netflix suggests the content that it thinks I’ll like. The thing is that the more you use Netflix, the more relevant your suggested content will be. And the recommendations are usually spot on!
#6. Unedited Content : You get to see 100% unedited version of the movie/show with no bleeps and cut scenes. Also there are Netflix Originals which are shows that are only aired on Netflix.
#7. Value for Money : With three different subscription packages ranging between Rs 500-800, Netflix is pretty reasonable when you consider the number of shows/movies you can watch. The best is that you have a month-long trial offer. During the trial, you can watch as many movies and TV shows as you desire, giving you ample time to assess whether the service works for you or not.
I love watching movies and series on Netflix! Do you have a Netflix account? What is your favorite part of the service? Do you think it’s worth the investment?

I love Netflix, for all the reasons you mentioned above. However I haven’t explored the parental control feature yet, will do so now.
I think I should try Netflix if only to get some quality program to watch. Thanks for sharing this. I am sure the good movies and original programming will make me a fan.
One of the biggest pluses of Netflix is parental control. I don’t get yo watch Indian movies a lot but nowadays, lot of Indian movies are coming on Netflix.
I love Netflix. We have been using Netflix service for the past 6 years or so. Apart from the points you mentioned another thing I love is that we can keep the service in suspension as long as we want. So when we were traveling to India and didn’t have internet connection available we kept it on hold, no money to be paid during that time. We can lift the hold off on our service anytime by logging into the account. 🙂
I was dumb about Netflix. But your post made me wise to know about the reasons to subscribe for Netflix. Thanks for inspiring me.
Very tempting, I’ve been considering this, Shilpa. I think I’m sold on it.
Oh yes! Thank god for Netflix, we don’t have to put up with the irritating cable tv anymore! 😛
I’m not much of a TV watcher so even though I’ve subscribed to netflix I haven’t seen a single movie or show. My kids on the other hand use it all the time.
Is it? I mean its quite affordable then! I dont get time for watching TV so I guess such subscription will work for me.
I have had Netflix subscription for some time. Since I didn’t have much time and patience to watch movies and series, I got it disconnected. I think I am doing okay without having it in life.
I love Netflix. I think it was the best invention ever 🙂
Surely looks worth the deal with such unlimited variety of entertainment.
helpful information about netflix thanks to share
Loved the post. Very informative post on Netflix.
I guess, I really should be trying Netflix out.
At home, apart from my daughter’s cartoons during her watch time & some occasional news & movies, the TV is barely there. 🙂 With the kind of content Indian media produces for television, Netflix is probably going to be a game-changer.
I love this post, Shilpa & it prods me now.
Hi Shilpa,
I love Netflix. It has amazing list of movies and series. Apart from that the most important point is no advertisement. I simply love that.
Thanks for sharing, have a good day. 🙂
This is truly value for money. Parental control is one of the best options available.
We love Netflix at home, thankfully there’s something for the sane minds who cannot stand the saas bahu serials!
Most of the reason match for us and hence husband got the Netflix subscription
Finally, after resisting I have decided to go for the basic Net Flix plan this month and can’t wait to catch on the interesting sitcoms. It sounds quite like the platform where viewers will be spoilt to no end and no dearth of choice. Thanks, Shilpa.
I am enjoying Amazon’s primevideo thoroughly but yes there are shows I’d like to watch on Netflix. Just wondering where I’ll find the time to accommodate both because that will have me on a long binge. 🙂 I love Amazon primevideo for all the reasons you listed. Really convenient to be able to watch on our own time instead of being tied to a program schedule. I’ve got a three-month free Netflix waiting for me… I guess I’ll succumb. 🙂
Netflix is my complete source of entertainment at home. The Netflix originals are so brilliant. Haven’t watched Slow TV yet but will check it out. Plus I get to rewatch so many wonderful old movies these days.
Hi, we also love netflix, being able to watch a whole series with no ad breaks and not having to wait a week in between episodes.
