ARE you fed up of spending what seems like hours searching for a film on Netflix?
Well, the streaming giant has listened to their customers and created a new way to search for movies on their site.
Netflix has unveiled a new way to search for films, allowing users to search its library for content that is under 90 minutes in length.
The new category, called ‘Movies Under 90 Minutes’, has divided users, with the streaming service poking fun at the viral meme which compares a 90 minute movie to films that are two hour or longer.
If 2 hour films feel like too much of a commitment (but somehow 10 ep series don’t?) this is for you: Movies Under 90 Minutes https://t.co/qs8WmLCaJd
