Online access to Netflix, the world's largest streaming service, was temporarily suspended.
The reason for the interruption is that the second half of Season 4 of 'Stranger Things' was released on the 1st local time, but Netflix could not handle the skyrocketing demand for viewing.
According to Bloomberg News, Netflix access was paralyzed for 30 minutes, and Internet failure tracking site DownDetector reported that more than 14,000 Netflix access failures were reported at the same time.
Fans of 'Stranger Things' posted an image of a connection error on Twitter, expressing dissatisfaction and disappointment.
Netflix released 'Stranger Things' season 4 in two parts as a strategy to retain subscribers, but this connection failure occurred.
