By all that is lazy in the world, Netflix have just upped up the stakes by letting you watch back-to-back TV episodes, cutting down the end-credits and queueing up the next episode for your enjoyment. So that means all you have to do is just sit back, relax and worry about the food.
The new Netflix “post-play” experience will cut short the end credits off of TV shows and will start playing the next episode in 15 seconds, meaning you have a little bit of time to grab your next bowl of popcorn. The feature is also applicable to films, although slightly differently. During the end credits, three further titles are suggested to the viewer, so you can continue that Die Hard marathon quite easily.
The only way Netflix could make the process any lazier is if they managed to come up with some kind of contraption that dips your Doritos and feeds ‘em to you at the same time, but I’m sure they’ve got something similar cooking up on R&D. Your move, LoveFilm.

I have to worry about my wench bringing me my food!
Moar Lazier!!
Is this for PC? I’ve been using Netflix for PS3 since March and this feature was all ready present.
Little bit odd, I’ve already been seeing this feature in play for some time when watching most series, only one that springs to mind right now is watching South Park back to back, because mindless TV, is clearly best TV.
When Netflix and Lovefilm Instant launched over here, it was hard to separate the two. However, after using both (Lovefilm – 6 months, Netflix – 3 months), Netflix is so much better. The quality of streams and the user interface beat Lovefilm hands down. Also, Lovefilm have less choice available on Xbox than they do on PC, which I’ve not noticed on Netflix.
Add the fact that it is easy to access the US catalogue for Netflix, I doubt I’ll be renewing my Lovefilm subscription.
Totally agree. I’ve put my Lovefilm account on hold to see if I’ll miss it. Netflix is just so much more polished on every platform available and is quite consistent across them, unlike the Lovefilm versions… Even the Lovefilm website sucks, and the iPad app still doesn’t seem to be updated for retina screens leaving it the only app I have that isn’t (very obvious from the icon).
Plus Lovefilm limiting the number of devices you can have it installed on is another negative.
Definitely not a new feature like the other fine folks have mentioned, this has been available via the browser Netflix since pretty much the UK launch. The apps don’t have it as yet though – at least the iOS and Sony SmartTV versions…
You’re only just reporting this now?
I’ve been using Netflix for months and I’ve been using this since about May/June.
Didn’t read the other comments. But f**k it, I have spoken.
if only there was something to watch on it..
I’ve started to get that way…We really need the US content now
You should, it’s so much better than the content available for us Brits.
