Only took 30 years but I finally was able to see ⁦@SPACEHOG⁩, my favorite band, play live! Their first concert together in almost half that time was right here! And they are still out-of-this-world.

Netflix has a simpler and better look! With this new update, it’s the same Netflix you know and love, but the fresh design gives you more title information at a glance, so it’s easier to find something to watch.

The new Netflix TV Experience will start rolling out to members later this month.
