    An interesting documentary about the history of Netflix
    This was a fun documentary about how Netflix came about, how it progressed from an idea to a promising company, how it beat Blockbuster in the DVD rental market, and how it eventually made the change to streaming video.

    My one problem with the documentary is that it became very fixated on the competition between Netflix and Blockbuster, and I started to get confused about when they were talking about which company. It kept going back and forth between interviews with Netflix and Blockbuster employees, and I couldn't keep track of who they were talking about at some points.

    In any case, this is definitely worth throwing on if you are curious or if you are interested in tech companies.
