Netflix’s streaming service started as a niche offshoot of the company’s disc-mailing service. Of course, it has since become much more than that, with a reliable core catalog and excellent original programming. It works on virtually any device, allows offline downloads on mobile platforms, and features 4K content. And an ad-supported option now helps it better compete with more affordable rivals. Thanks to its varied, top-notch content and capable apps, Netflix is an Editors’ Choice winner for on-demand video streaming services.
What’s in Netflix’s Catalog?
Netflix has an extensive catalog of video content, but it changes all the time. Shows available one day may be gone the next. It’s difficult to state authoritatively what is in Netflix’s catalog at any given moment, but that’s all part of the fun, right? Innumerable third-party websites, including PCMag, offer articles with titles like Everything Coming to Netflix This Month (as well as Everything Leaving Netflix), so that’s one way to stay in the know. Note that Netflix has already lost many of its most-watched shows, including The Office (to NBC’s Peacock), Friends (to Max), and several Marvel movies (to Disney+). This means that Netflix must heavily on its original content in the coming years.
