By: Daniel Maiorana\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Netflix and other streaming services are taking over our TV screens, as you can view many popular movies and shows with no commercials or waiting for the next episode.\u00a0 TV consumers have realized that Netflix is a low-price streaming service with many options to choose from such as your favorite movies and shows.\u00a0 The streaming service has taken over your phone and computer screens, and now it is time for Netflix to take over your TV.\u00a0 The reason Netflix thrives is because the type of media on the platform attracts almost all ages.\u00a0 With original content, reruns of famous shows and movies, and kids shows is a big reason why Netflix is so successful.\u00a0 With its wide range of high quality content, Netflix is taking over your screen faster than you think.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When the pandemic struck our country, Netflix began to release high quality content such as series and movies.\u00a0 Perhaps the most popular series, Outer Banks, is what made Netflix a must have during the country-wide shutdown.\u00a0 Some other quarantine hits on Netflix include <\/span>All-American<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>The Last Dance<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0 These two series are what makes Netflix so popular and diverse.\u00a0 <\/span>The Last Dance<\/span><\/i>, a documentary on Michael Jordan\u2019s basketball career, aired on ESPN every Sunday for 10 weeks straight.\u00a0 For the people who didn\u2019t get to see it live, they could go to Netflix and watch all 10 episodes with no interruptions.\u00a0 The same goes for <\/span>All-American<\/span><\/i>, a show that has premiered the past 2 falls once a week on the CW, but with netflix, viewers can view this popular show whenever they want.\u00a0 Everything that people complain about relating to TV doesn\u2019t apply to Netflix, hence why Netflix is taking over our screens.\u00a0 For me personally, the coronavirus left me with barely anything to do on the daily, so I turned to Netflix and became somewhat addicted.\u00a0 Due to the pandemic, Netflix gained a record 15.8 million subscribers in the first quarter of the year.\u00a0 The beginning of March was where Netflix gained its most subscribers, as \u201cthe time spent on streaming platforms increased 37%,\u201d says the Hollywood Reporter.\u00a0 With the increasing popularity of Netflix and other streaming services, there is a good chance that one day people will completely ditch TV.<\/span><\/p>\n Along with the many options available on Netflix, the other reason why it\u2019s so appealing is the price.\u00a0 For just $9 a month for the regular version and $16 for the premium version, Netflix is the cheapest streaming service offered online.\u00a0 Just $9 to watch any show or movie provided on Netflix? Count me in!\u00a0 With prices much cheaper than cable services and still having almost the same content offered besides live sports, we can see why Netflix continues to gain popularity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This cheap alternative became very popular in the beginning months of the coronavirus thanks to its wide variety during such a tough time.\u00a0 What makes subscribers hooked is not only does Netflix offer shows on live television, it offers original series and movies.\u00a0 With series such as <\/span>On My Block<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Love Is Blind<\/span><\/i> having millions and billions of minutes played, we can see why Netflix thrives with their own content.\u00a0 Netflix movies and series everyone put on repeat in America cooped them up in their bed all day while they would \u201cNetflix and chill.\u201d\u00a0 People of all ages look forward to watching Netflix in their bed when they are ready to fall asleep, as you can fall asleep knowing that you didn\u2019t miss any episodes or cliff-hangers.\u00a0 If you forget to record the show on TV, you\u2019ll be left with no knowledge of what happened, but with Netflix, you can rewind and fast-forward as much as you want.\u00a0 There are many other reasons why Netflix is taking over your screen, and all these reasons show us that Netflix will one day overthrow cable television.<\/span><\/p>\n Wrapping things up, Netflix\u2019s great content and pricing is why we see the company continue to thrive.\u00a0 The options Netflix offers are unbeatable and the amount of variety within their content is the main reason why so many people subscribe.\u00a0 The pandemic made many people turn to Netflix as it was a great way to pass time throughout our eventless days during quarantine.\u00a0 Thanks to Netflix\u2019s wide variety and cheap prices, it has shown great numbers such as taking up almost a third of peoples screen time in mid March.\u00a0 Many people turned to Netflix because they know there are endless numbers of options available from movies, existing shows, original shows, and even documentaries.\u00a0 As Netflix continues to thrive, more and more people will begin to only watch streaming services and never go back to TV.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By: Daniel Maiorana\u00a0 Netflix and other streaming services are taking over our TV screens, as you can view many popular movies and shows with no commercials or waiting for the next episode.\u00a0 TV consumers have realized that Netflix is a low-price streaming service with many options to choose from such as your favorite movies…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1283,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[295,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-independent-research","category-opinion"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/riverhillcurrent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/seo-watch-free-link-preview.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/riverhillcurrent.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/riverhillcurrent.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/riverhillcurrent.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/riverhillcurrent.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/riverhillcurrent.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1282"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/riverhillcurrent.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1282\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1284,"href":"http:\/\/riverhillcurrent.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1282\/revisions\/1284"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/riverhillcurrent.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/riverhillcurrent.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/riverhillcurrent.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/riverhillcurrent.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
