#1 Netflix offering a helping hand

Locking up at home for an indefinite time period amidst these crises is definitely not easy. It is lonely and depressing. Thanks to Netflix for offering a helping hand during this tough time.

Netflix Party is a new Chrome browser extension that allows you to watch your favorite shows and movies with your friends. The fun part here is that it is absolutely free.

#2 It is absolutely free

The shows will work in sync so you all are watching together and no one is left behind if one takes a bathroom break. The best part of the Netflix Party watch is the chat function that allows you to gossip as the show airs. So if you are watching a horror show or a comedy series, the experience is going to be much better together with your friends.
