But why should an average, everyday viewer care about this series from the 1990s?
Watching Netflix on desktop is fine unless you want to multitask, at which point a convoluted series of window adjustments and resizing is necessary to keep both the video player and other applications visible. The company may be planning to do something about that in the near future, however, at least based on a test currently visible to some desktop users.
A very confused religious organization is asking Netflix to cancel an Amazon original series. More than 20,000 people signed a petition launched by the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property to cancel Good Omens, and somehow none of those people noticed that it was directed at the wrong streaming service.
Netflix has detailed the results of its May 2019 'Hack Day' during which time the company's employees work on fun, innovative projects. We've seen some interesting videos result from these efforts, including one that involved finding out how far above Earth a smartphone could stream Netflix before it died.

Netflix is following the lead of many other tech companies before it with the introduction of a feed in its mobile app. Called 'Extras,' the feed is appearing for a small number of Netflix users on the company's mobile app, where they're given access to a dedicated scrolling page of content related to the company's vast video library.
Netflix announced today that it's teamed up with DreamWorks Animation to produce a new animated series based on the first Jurassic World movie.

Did you know there was a new Dark Crystal movie coming out soon? Earlier today, I had no idea. Then I saw there was a Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance trailer out, and bang!

One by one, Netflix has been killing off its roster of Marvel shows. What started with the cancellations of Luke Cage and Iron Fist eventually moved onto Daredevil, and by that point, it was clear that Netflix was cleaning house.
