We’ve all been there. Whether it’s a free weekend or a cozy night in, Netflix has killed more minutes than we can count thanks to overwhelming us with its seemingly endless library of movies and shows. Now, there’s a solution to the procrastination involved in picking something to watchꦿ. Iᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚntroducing... .

Netflix’s new feature does exactly what it says on the tin. Play Somethi꧋ng can be found under your profile on the user screen, by scrolling up on the homepage, or as a button on the 🦂sidebar.

Once you click it, you’ll be whisked away into one of several options: a new movie or first episode of a TV show, a movie or show you haven’t watched in a while, or an episode from a sh🍬ow you picked up and maybe dropped halfway through.

Don’t worry, it’s not completely random – it’s based on your previous viewing history, so you’ll have the Almighty Algorithm (and yourself) 🎐to blame if it spits out something you do🤡n’t enjoy.

As of writinꦫg, Play Something appears to be slowly rolling out in different territories and on different devices. So, be patient if it doesn’t pop up 🦩for you quite yet.

But that’s not all that’s coming to Netflix in the near future. A new trailer from the streamer has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:previewed its 2021 movie lineup, starting with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead in May. Maybe that Play Something button won’t get quite as much use with a new mꦿovieℱ coming out literally every week.
