Netflix

Red envelope service

Netflix is a streaming service that delivers movies, television shows, and original content over the internet for a monthly subscription fee.

Originally a DVD-by-mail rental company, it pioneered the shift to on-demand digital entertainment and helped popularize binge-watching as a cultural phenomenon.

The name has become shorthand for streaming video generally, and the phrase Netflix and chill is slang for a casual sexual encounter under the pretense of watching something together.
