Netflix make some of their biggest movies and shows free to watch
The firšst episode of ą·“Stranger Things, Bird Box, and more are now free to watch on Netflix

Want Netflix for free? Short of borrowing your housemate/family member/friend’s Netflix account, this is the next best thing: the streaming service has launched a ‘Watch Free’ section, with a selection of movies and shows šÆyou can watch – without having to sign up.
Head on over to Netflix’s to see the selection on offer. It doesn’t appear to differ by region and only includes Netflix-produced movies and shows so far. Among the headline acts are 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Stranger Things season 1 – at leaāst, the first episode – as well as Bird ꦔBox.
There’s also the Adaą²m Sandler-starring Murder Mystery, Elite, the first episode of When They See Us, reality series Love is Blind, The Two Popes (which received acting nods for Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce at this year’s Oscars), Grace & Frankie, nature documentary Our Planet and, uhh, Boss Baby: Back in Business. Each of the TV shows only has the first episode of the first season available as of writing.
All told, it’s a nice spread of what to expect if you do end up getting a Netflix subscription off the back of this curated collection. Stranger Things alone should reel people in, though The Two Popes ź§and Bird Box show off just how far Netflix has come in its movie output over the past few years.
It’s not yet known if more will be added to Netflix’s Watch Free list but there are already ša dozen or so hours for you to dip your toe into the streaming waters for now. You can’t beat free.

Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager.
