Streaming, binge watching, all of that is outdated.
Always ahead of its time, Netflix has launched a new feature, which gives you a glimpse into the future.
The "Direct" button allows, "for some of you, only via the web browser", specifies the platform, to "watch defined programs, at any time of the day".
Huh?
Or “not understood” to quote the first comment from an Internet user on Twitter.
“Basically, it's a feature that lets you see pre-set shows live,” Netflix replied.
Like a classic television channel then.
Since today, we are testing a new “Direct” function with some of you, only via the web browser.
It allows you to watch defined programs at any time of the day.
No need to choose, just let yourself be carried away!

The Frandroid site specifies that this feature, in fact a linear TV on the web, has been available since Thursday and is a French exclusivity, with gradual deployment throughout France.
Why France?
“In France, traditional TV consumption is very popular.
The spectators like the idea of programming which avoids having to choose what they will watch, specifies Netflix France.
