It was a simple concept: instead of going to a video store to rent DVDs, you sign up for a service that will mail you the movie you want, you can keep it as long as you want, and then toss it in the mail whenever you’re done. That was the idea behind Netflix, the company that started 20 years ago. Today, the service is known as the go-to source for quality original movies and TV, in addition to an incredible library of entertainment available almost instantly.
Odds are, if you personally don’t have a Netflix subscription, you know someone who does. If you’re lucky, that person you know is also willing to share their username and password so you can at least stream your favorite shows.
