That is the whole plan for Netflix. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- The entire catalog: licensed films, TV, and originals you cannot legally acquire
- Global CDN delivery that does not stutter on hotel wifi
- Native apps on every TV, console, phone, and streaming stick
- Downloads with DRM, offline playback, and multi-device sync that just works
- Recommendations built on hundreds of millions of viewing histories
