    Well done and worth watching!
    Fascinating insight into the origination of and success story of Netflix. Interviews with folks that literally started the company who walked you through the successes and struggles of the business. Anyone who has a Netflix account - or was a onetime Blockbuster customer - should watch this. Anyone who is a business owner or is contemplating getting involved in a startup would learn from the experiences detailed in this documentary. This is a well-done and entertaining documentary.
