Current Events > When did you first start using NETFLIX?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't remember when we started using the DVD service but my streaming history only goes back to September of 2011.

I watched An Unreasonable Man, a documentary about Ralph Nader <__<

If I had to guess when we started using the DVD service, around 2007 or 2008. First thing I remember getting from them was Spirited Away.

I've never not had Netflix that entire time. So I've been an active Netflix subscriber for at least 12 years

Breaking Bad is the first show I remember watching on there, which was 2013

---

2011

Finally got to re-watch old Power Rangers.

---

I think around 2007/200& but I mostly used it for dvds at the time

i remember dexter was one of the first things i had mailed to me

---

All but the last two seasons of House of Cards were out. I dont have it right now but I might reactivate it soon.

I DEFINITELY need to watch Breaking Bad!

---

Early streaming days. I remember it had softcore porn, which 14 year old me found very interesting
---

I've never touched Netflix
---

I've only used the free trial to watch Miss Americana and maybe an anime while I had it.

---

I lived with my mom and she started doing DVDs, so I piggybacked.

---

2013: Wanted to binge Breaking Bad.

Favorites?

Richard Pryor, Chappelle, David A. Arnold (a relative newcomer), Eddie Murphy. I like the Dolomite special Eddie Murphy did too. Kat Williams. Many others but that's off the top of my head.

Pretty much since day 1. Maybe the same year they started. I remember getting excited about those dvds in the mail lol.

---

I think in like 2008 or 2009? I used it for DVDs initially. I remember the first time I was able to actually stream stuff on my xbox, thought it was the coolest shit ever

I first got a netflix DVD account in like 2007 or 2008

Before the streaming even existed

One of the earliest things I think I used netflix for was Dexter. I think the show was up to season 4 when I got into it and I watched seasons 1 to 4 within like a month. Would have been faster if they had it on streaming. They added it later though

Considering it wasn't available outside America for like, a decade, especially in other territories, I never did use Netflix but then again never needed to for obvious reasons.

So 2019 is when I actually got a netflix account lol. And you'll never guess the show that got me to finally get an account: Jane the Virgin. Found this show on a whim 2 years ago and decided to watch it and was completely swept away by how bizarrely amazing it was despite the name and premise. Funny, sweet, with amazing performances, and (up to season 4) some surprisingly strong writing, it was definitely worth watching.

All in all, while the price of Netflix has never really been worth it considering its utterly sparse library (especially outside the US and even UK) I will say that it has let me know about amazing shows. Last year when Avatar came to Netflix UK, I had no idea I was about to watch an amazing animated series that was completely after my time.

2015 i remember doing my free month for the first time. after a surgery i had to bed rest for two weeks and i watched the corniest movies in the universe.
i made fake accounts for free months for like a year and then i subbed. i made up for it by paying for other people nowadays lol

never

Whenever it was added to Xbox 360

I miss that feature where you could watch stuff with your friends in a virtual movie theater using your Xbox avatars

---

Early streaming days.

I remember when Netflix used to stream Nickelodeon cartoons and Disney cartoons. They had a lot of shows up.

Never cause I feel like I wouldnt get my moneys worth because I probably wouldnt watch that much. One day Ill probably start.

---

I want to say maybe 2007? IIRC when I first joined streaming was included with DVDs and wasnt an additional charge. Then they separated both but included a discount if you bundled so I kept both. Then they separated them entirely and I ditched the DVDs for streaming only.

---

I remember ordering some dvds from them but I don't remember if they had their streaming service yet.

---

Started using it to watch Stranger Things/Black Mirror,but I only subscriptn for a month when there is a new season coming out.

---

A longtime family friend bought me a subscription so this was back in the day before the streaming era, I believe.

I haven't been a constant member since then, though. I've unsubbed and resubbed several times.
