News & Reviews:   netflix

The year is coming to a close and as expected we're starting to see news like Spotify's #2020Wrapped. So, how about platforms like Netflix? Well, the company has published a summary of what its users have been watching this year. Specifically, what we Malaysians have been watching.

It looks like the influence of TikTok is pretty strong. After Instagram introduced a new TikTok-like feature named Reels a while ago, Netflix is reported to be following in the footsteps as well by setting up similar stuff. Today, it is announced that a new feature called Fast Laughs will be starting to roll out on Netflix, offering videos that come in short format to entertain the users.

It's normal for streaming services to offer some free content to let users decide whether they want to subscribe for full access or not. Therefore, you need to know that Netflix is now offering a few titles to let anyone watch for free without an account.

Nowadays, there are more people than before subscribing to Netflix at home especially during the pandemic period. Thankfully a lot of media companies have given us some entertainment and now Netflix just updated the HD and HDR10 list for their subscribers to enjoy high-quality content with added devices.

Based on a statement by theverge.com, it seems that Netflix could allow viewers to watch shows and movies from as slow as 0.5x all the way up to 1.5x speed very soon. While not much is known in regards to when this feature will be available to Malaysians, we do know that viewers will be required to opt-in to this feature whenever they’re watching a new series or movie so that they won’t accidentally watch at a slightly slower or faster speed.

You already heard of Netflix, now get ready for Nurflix and no, we are not making this up at all. Similarly to Netflix and iflix, Nurflix is a streaming platform for Muslims in Malaysia with Shariah Compliant Video On Demand contents. Interested viewers can actually now subscribe to Nurflix.tv and be one of the first to participate in the beta test.

When it comes to AAA games, you often see companies marketing it in various ways. With the release of Cyberpunk 2077 pushed back to 19 November 2020, CD Projekt Red (CDPR) wants to keep the hype going and has announced that Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a standalone anime series!

Netflix offers a wide range of shows to suit everyone's taste, and that's one of the reasons why the streaming platform has been standing strong until now. However, if you've stumbled upon some content that you don't really want to continue binging, it could be annoying to see the show being stuck in your "Continue Watching" list. Now, the solution might have come as Netflix is letting you remove the content that you've lost interest in after clicking in.

So now that we know the Movement Control Order has been extended (again) to 12 May 2020, we won't be surprised if our government decides to extend it again. In case that happens, we will have time to do more things we've always wanted to do. If you're still looking for more movies or TV series to watch on Netflix, Pokémon Journeys: The Series, a Netflix Original is coming soon.
