Whether you pay the monthly subscription, or cheekily borrow someone else€™s login details, or whether you€™ve just seen it at a friend€™s house, chances are by now you€™ve experienced Netflix. Services allowing you to stream movies and TV shows over the internet have been around for some time, providing a welcome alternative to fruitless channel hopping or adware-laden pirate download sites. Netflix in particular has gone from strength to strength, offering more and more decent content and now even producing a lot of its own. TV Shows like Orange Is The New Black and House of Cards have proven massively popular, proving that it€™s not just the big American TV networks that can come up with the goods any more.

So, here are a few things about Netflix you probably didn€™t know.
