Netflix is, so far, the undisputed champion of streaming services when it comes to producing its own exclusive content. With shows like House of Cards, Orange is The New Black, Marvel’s Daredevil, and one of their newer shows Stranger Things, Netflix has been on a roll. Beyond that, Netflix airs some of the greatest titles in television history. Unlike Hulu, Netflix doesn’t really cater to those obsessed with daily soaps but there’s still so much to see here.
The American Netflix library is so desirable that many consumers across the globe purchase a VPN just to gain access to the US Netflix library.
Netflix Pros and cons
Pros
- 30-day free trial
- Netflix Originals are amazing
- Fantastic (and foolproof) parental controls
- User-friendly interface
Cons
- Doesn’t stream currently running TV seasons like Hulu
Verdict
There’s a reason Netflix sits atop the entertainment throne – and its global expansion is proof that it’s not simply thanks to the existing user base from the DVD-only days. Netflix has a friendly interface that anyone can use, comprehensive support documents and live chat, a more-than-reasonable price, and the money and passion to create some truly unique content that rivals some of the best titles on television. It may not air current-run seasons like Hulu, or allow you to download titles like Amazon Instant Video, but its user-centric qualities have cemented Netflix’s position at the top.

I installed Netflix on my tv two days ago. It was a gift card from someone. Can I installed it on this tablet?
Hi James,
Thanks for your inquiry.
If you want to watch Netflix on your tablet you have to download their app on Appstore for IOS and Google Play. Log in to your Netflix account and you may now start watching.
Hope this information helped.
Cheers,
Arnold
