Netflix original content offers something for everyone from drama to comedy series, from docu-series, to stand-up specials to films. As we’ve gotten to know people’s tastes, we’ve been shaping the service, adding content, languages and new features to provide the best possible Netflix experience. Here’s how:- No more waiting: Internet TV, delivered by Netflix, is changing entertainment forever by putting power in consumers’ hands. Netflix original series, films and documentaries premiere on Netflix everywhere at the same time, whether Narcos, Marvel’s Luke Cage or The Crown which means all Netflix members have access to a new title simultaneously.
- Original Series and Films: We committed to spending $5 billion on content in 2016, releasing 31 scripted shows (existing and new), two dozen original feature films and documentaries, a wide range of stand up comedy specials and 30 original kids series.
- Increasing the Catalog: We have doubled the content catalog for users around the world.
- Some of the most popular shows for the year in The Philippines: Orange is The New Black, Stranger Things, Narcos, House of Cards, The OA, Marvel’s Luke Cage, The Crown, Designated Survivor.
- At which point did they get Hooked? We found that viewers today do not base their decision to finish a series on the first episode alone. On average, it took 4 episodes for Filipinos to get hooked on a show. For example, when they watched superhero action shows Marvel’s Daredevil and Marvel’s Jessica Jones. Filipino viewers easily get hooked early on with shows that allow them to live vicariously through law-breaking characters featured in shows such as Narcos, Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul.
- Binge-pairing: Like Netflix members around the world, Filipinos tend to pair their TV binge with a movie right after. Fans who loved Stranger Things wanted more of the same great thrills and chose Super 8, another sci-fi thriller set in the 80s. Meanwhile, Marvel’s Daredevil fans who hankered for more grim and gritty action and turned to Kill Bill Vol. 1
Delivering a great Netflix experience is just as important as creating great content.
- Personalization and the global algorithm: Previously, the personalization algorithms were regional or country-specific — limiting a member’s recommendations to be based on similar viewers’ tastes confined to their particular country or region. By creating a global recommendation system, Netflix is now able to provide an even more accurate personalization experience, based not just on one country’s tastes, but by looking at the tastes of members around the world. This also helps local content travel around the world.
- Downloads: We’ve often heard our users share that they also want to continue their Stranger Things binge while on a road trip and other places where Internet is expensive or limited. Now you can download and watch shows without an internet connection on Netflix.
- Open Connect Devices. Our Open Connect devices are provided free to ISPs to allow them to more efficiently manage their networks. We have devices present around the Asia region today to support a better streaming experience for users in the Philippines
- Video previews: We know we have less than 90 seconds to capture someone’s attention and get them excited about a title — that’s why we’re introducing video previews into the TV browsing experience. The new television user interface uses video more extensively to bring content alive in real time and helps members decide whether to click play.
- 4K/HDR Technology: One of the advantages of streaming over the Internet is we get to be at the cutting edge of technology, providing the best picture quality for our members all over the world. Added over 600 of 4K content, Shows like the latest season of Chef’s Table, Marvel’s Daredevil now in HDR and we are working with Marvel on their entire slate.
- Partnerships/Devices: By partnering with consumer electronics companies, ISPs and mobile operators, including Globe and PLDT, we help provide a better streaming experience for consumers and enable Netflix everywhere. Many of these partnerships help drive constant innovation at Netflix, and also improve overall industry standards so that ultimately consumers everywhere get the best entertainment experience they can hope for.
- Netflix Recommended TV program: An independent smart TV evaluation program to help consumers identify televisions built for a superior Internet TV experience. Netflix Recommended TVs by LG, Samsung and Sony are available in the Philippines and around the world.
