How To Unlock Netflix’s Best Kept Secret

And A Huge Thank You To My Paid Subscribers!

First of all, thanks so much to my paid subscribers. I’m dealing with debilitating Long Covid and it’s been more difficult than I can express (see OMITI 9/11/23). This is my first paid-only subscribers edition of OMITI. Please know how much I appreciate your support!

Netflix, founded in 1997 in Scotts Valley, California, is one of the largest streaming platforms for movies and television in the world. But did you know the original name for Netflix was Kibble? I’m not kidding.

Netflix switched from mailing DVD rentals to your home to streaming online back in 2007 in a partnership with Roku (I know, right? Not that long ago!). Since then, Netflix is now streaming in more than thirty languages in one hundred and ninety countries.

As you know from my very first edition of Only Murders In The Inbox, the primary reason I created this newsletter was because it’s becoming harder and harder to find good mysteries on streaming platforms because of finicky algorithms, which is constantly changing but only giving you select content. The front page of Netflix is only a tiny portion of everything the platform has to offer, based on what you’ve already viewed. So what about everything else?

With such a vast catalog of around six thousand titles — with a significant number now being Netflix originals — there’s a lot of buried content that you might never discover. But people in the television industry know there are ways around digging endlessly for the right shows in the genres you want.

What if I told you there’s a much easier way to discover mysteries on Netflix which cuts straight to the chase? It’s one of the best kept secrets in television.

I’m about to share that secret with you right now.
