Question Averaging approx 8 minutes of film between each double ad. Is this normal now?! UK
In an 80 minute film, there are 11 ad interruptions. Basically you see 2 ads every 8 minutes now.

Share the Netflix series you would most want to watch, and you could be one of five members here trying the LG StanbyME 2 Max. It is a screen that rolls to wherever you actually end up watching. Bed, couch, kitchen counter, or out on the patio.
The LG StanbyME 2 Max steps up from the 27 inch QHD model of the StanbyME 2 to a 32 inch 4K UHD touchscreen, so faces and background detail hold up from across the room, and lifts the sound from virtual 9.1.2 to virtual 11.1.2 channel audio (2.0 channel speakers with AI Sound Pro) with Dolby Atmos. Dolby Vision and the Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen 3 handle the picture, with AI 4K upscaling for older titles.
The battery grows to 144 Wh for up to 4.5 hours of wireless use, up from up to 4 hours, so a few episodes run with nothing plugged in. webOS 26 runs your apps on the screen, and the rolling stand moves it from the living room to the bedroom when the night runs long.
Five members of this community get the chance to try one.

Hi r/Netflix users!
Most living rooms aren't dark theaters, and Netflix originals aren't mastered for average TV settings. Picture quality for streaming comes down to how well a display handles the edges: shadow detail that stays readable, HDR that doesn't clip, and color that holds consistency across different lighting conditions. The LG OLED G6 is built around those specific demands.
That is why LG is bringing a special review event to r/Netflix, giving one Redditor the chance to experience the LG OLED G6 65-inch in their own home setup and share honest impressions with the community.
And yes, the selected participant will get to keep the TV. š
This event is inspired by LGās recent Hollywood Roadshow at Picture Shop in Los Angeles, where cinematographers, colorists, and post-production experts experienced the LG OLED G6 firsthand and explored how next-generation OLED technology can bring creative intent closer to home.
One featured expert was veteran color scientist Joshua Pines, whose credits include Blade Runner, Gravity, The Revenant and more. In the Roadshow content, Pines shares his perspective on OLED picture processing, calibration, shadow detail, and how display technology can support the creatorās intended viewing experience123. For more details, click here.

Dark thrillers and color-graded originals both expose weaknesses in displays that cannot hold shadow separation or accurate color under changing light.
That is where the LG OLED G6 excels, with Hyper Radiant Color Tech, Perfect Black, Perfect Color4, the α11 AI Processor Gen3, and Reflection-Free Premium5 helping support clear, immersive Netflix viewing in both bright and dark environments.
Take a closer look at the key LG OLED G6 features below.

FILMMAKER MODE⢠with Ambient Light Technology lets you see films just as the director intended. With Dolby Vision® for extraordinary color, contrast, and brightness, plus Dolby Atmos® for sound you can feel all around you, the LG OLED G6 helps make movies and series feel more immersive6.

Hyper Radiant Color Tech is our next-generation OLED technology that enhances every aspect of picture quality to an entirely new level. It delivers incomparable brightness, Perfect Black, and Perfect Color in any light, while preserving stunning 4K visuals with our best α11 AI Processor Gen3, and it is even certified for Reflection-Free Premium, ensuring flawless picture quality without reflection, whether in bright or dark environments. Experience OLED like never before ā see the difference, feel the brilliance, and discover a new standard in viewing.

Am I the only one who thinks The Diplomat is a bit underrated? I think it is one of the best political series out there.. Are you enjoying season 4 so far?
r/netflix • u/Archie__reddit • 11h ago
I have just finished watching this masterpiece movie. I would like to recommend it to anyone who hasnāt watched it. I havenāt cried so hard from watching movies for a long long time, but this movie really makes me very emotional.
It just happened to pop up on my Netflix, and I gave it a try. It would not leave my head. It would be a waste if I donāt recommend it to you!
After watching this movie, I look it up and I found that this movie win 2026 BAFTA Film Awards.

r/netflix • u/ForAChange2Happen • 1d ago
How is this even allowed? 12 commercial breaks for one movie? Not counting the commercial ad prior to the movie. This is for Demon Slayer infinity castle. Only reason I still have Netflix is because it comes with my phone plan, otherwise I would cancel it! This is crap!
r/netflix • u/Ill-Caterpillar-3438 • 12h ago
I am watching this now ..so far i liked it but i feel like its getting kind of slow after the 1st season. And there are many things I can't understand..like how they did that for example: cole needed his younger self's blood so that he can continue splitting..how did they for others ? And the room where the witness (their son) initially was giving instructions to others .. and that room was connected to cole's son we all know that but how they changed the witness, i still can't process it .
But i kind of liked its intro tune

And I just cancelled yesterday. I honestly hadn't realized that the only thing I've watched recently on Netflix was Below and that was ok at best. Before that was The Whisper Man and that was bad. Just seems like the quality of the shows has gone down in the past 5 or 6 years? And with all of the cancellations of my favorites such as Mindhunter, Kingdom, Archive 81 plus the sometimes 5+ year wait times for season 2 is nuts. I just don't care about the library anymore. The other streaming platforms are a tough pill to swallow as well with the continuing price increases but i've found that I spend the least amount of time on Netflix. Wondering if anyone else thinks the content has gotten way worse?

Specifically, I'd like to read up more on when rights were bought from the publishing agencies and, if possible, what stipulations there were around the adaptations.
Where could I read more about this? Is there a record somewhere I could access? I imagine that Netflix is pretty tight-lipped about some things but they produce a billion shows every year. I just want to read into a couple of them.

Just finished the Season 4 finale of The Diplomat and I genuinely need emotional support. How are we supposed to wait for Season 5?!
That final five-minute sprint š¤
Debora Cahn and the writers room wake up every morning and choose sheer narrative violence.
That final five minute sequence took an already fragile house of cards and dropped a bunker buster straight through the middle of it. Nobody captures the unglamorous panic of high-stakes statecraft like this show. Keri Russell playing sheer internal panic masked behind diplomatic protocol better than anyone on television.

Any one watching this sitcom? I find it really good. The jokes are clever and it seems to reflect my experience as a 66 year old male.
I find it refreshingly good. No crazy drama just great entertainment. Some familiar faces but the main character eludes me for stardom past.
Kind of makes me think that theres some promising sitcoms out there that Netflix hasnt capured the rightsvto display them. Too many get toed up with other networks. I sincerely cannot afford to sign up for others in a monthly fee.
r/netflix • u/samsamcan • 10h ago
Let me start off by saying the show is phenomenal and miles above the older movie. The actors and director did an incredible job. My only irk was that they changed some small things.. and it doesn't really sit well with me. It's really unnecessary to make them.
I'm re-reading the book and noticed they messed with the dialogue concerning selling the farm. In the book Adam sells it and wants to sell, but In the movie it's his brother.. kind of a pointless change. Im wondering if those screenwriters just wanted to change it just for the hell of it. There are more that I can list, but I wanted to see if anyone else had other changes they noticed.. what's the biggest one that you noticed?

Just finished watching the British Heartstopper series, Heartstopper Forever movie and the podcasts. This was a friggin awesome series. Beautifully navigating teen experience, highs, lows, trials and tribulations of teen life living and dealing with realistic minority groups living within the general population rules. Hats off to the writer, director, the brilliant cast and crew. What a treasure. I have not seen a series since I watched 13 Reasons Why (USA series) and its podcasts that navigated sensitive and realistic young peoples issues. From a straight, white female in early 60s, it is so heartwarming to see work like this produced so young people can see themselves represented, in a way that can lead to further discussion, thought and considered care. The very biggest bunch of roses to you all. If you havenāt seen Heartstopper, it is a must watch.

Long time viewer but I noticed Netflix trying to push out more games and I see the Daily Quiz feature pop-up. I've done it a few times and it wasn't bad but I didn't see anything rewarding with it. Sure they track my streak but I feel like I don't care enough to do it. I kind of enjoyed the horror real time event ones though sometimes it was a bit short. I love games with friends like Dispatch.
When compared to Disney+ they get to offer pretty cool perks for playing such games as rewards such as merch discounts and exclusive access.
Why do you think this is a bad idea to offer incentives for playing their games? What would convince you to engage in these?
Less Ads on select shows/movies
Netflix Real-life events: Reality TV show post season audience invitation / WWE / Sports / Cooking show winner restaurant discounts etc..
I've been envious of Netflix Preview Club but access to it is pretty arbitrary. I wonder if this could be something they grant for certain genres I would like.
Netflix Real-life events: Reality TV show post season audience invitation / WWE / Sports / Cooking show winner restaurant discounts etc / International hosted events (Netflix has so much foreign country content that is pretty legit compared to some US Netflix content in recent times)

I really was looking forward to watching this documentary. But holy Hell! The amount of ads are simply ridiculous. Netflix is running more ads than free broadcasted networks. Iām not paying for this anymore. Netflix, youāre fired!

My Netflix is broken. It started when I tried to fire it up on my Roku TV to finish watching Sacrifice (a recent release of theirs) that I'd started a few days earlier. There was no recent activity section to pick up from and when I searched the title it didn't come up. That's when I notice My List was way out of date, missing titles I'd added and ones I'd deleted still there. And the titles that were featured all felt almost a year old - like, Rebel Ridge was prominent.
I tried backing out to the Roku menu and looking for Sacrifice and trying to get it that way. I found it and pressed the button to take me directly to it on Netflix and it took me to an info screen that looked like the movie hadn't been released yet where I could only watch a trailer and set a reminder.
Okay, on to the software updates, logging in and logging out, unplugging the TV, uninstalling and reinstalling Netflix, etc. Nothing worked. This was on my upstairs TV yesterday and my downstairs and phone app were fine. Today the downstairs TV (same model TCL Roku TV) has the same problem.
Has anyone seen or dealt with this before? Netflix support was no help. The only thing it seems like there is left to do is to factory reset the TV which would mean setting everything up again and I don't even feel confident it would work.

Recently came back to Netflix and have the Ads tier. I'm shown 6 ads in one ad break on some shows like Young Sheldon. The ads run 3-6 at a time at least every 10 minutes, sometimes less. That is wild and I'm going back to just YouTube and Curiosity Stream. It's not been that many years since I paid $6 a month for Netflix with no ads
