Is it any different than traditional TV?


I don’t find traditional TV to be any good. Having no autoplay is an improvement.


Traditional TV usually switches shows, indicating I'm done. Netflix skips credits and openers, turning an entire season into one 20 hour episode.


I personally love that about it. I can watch more episodes in less time with Netflix, whereas I have to sit through the openers and credits for TV.

I also like watching shows while doing something else (e.g. folding laundry), so autoplay makes it so I don't have to worry about engaging with the service between episodes.

Afaik, you can disable it in the settings.
