Netflix experienced a major streaming outage on Saturday afternoon, leaving customers from San Francisco to Greece shut out of such critically acclaimed originals as Luke Cage, Stranger Things, and the eponymous Amanda Knox documentary.
Netflix customer service tweeted about its streaming service being down in the early afternoon. As of this writing, they’ve yet to tweet out any updates.
Hi all – we are aware of streaming issues and we are working quickly to solve them. We will update you when they are resolved.

Binge-watchers globally are losing their shit over the lack of Netflix in their lives. How else can one Netflix and chill? Does that mean people have to just go straight to fucking, instead of, say, putting on a methane emissions documentary?

There’s also plenty of people who don’t give a shit about the sex part and just want to rekindle their relationship with Netflix.
