Netflix, the world's largest streaming service, has a range of features and offerings users should be aware of. From its beginnings as an online DVD rental service in 1997, Netflix has grown into a global phenomenon with more than 200 million subscribers around the world.

Let's start by talking about what you should watch on Netflix this month. The French series "Lupin", starring Omar Sy, recently released its third season where "the gentleman thief", Assane Diop, publicly announces his intentions of stealing a precious black pearl. Another thrilling pick is "The Fall of the House of Usher". This series by Mike Flanagan, known for hits like "The Haunting of Hill House" and "Midnight Mass", delves into terrifying tales from Edgar Allan Poe, making it a perfect watch for the Halloween season.

Netflix offers thousands of hours of diverse content, from TV series & films to documentaries, and continues to grow its library with a mix of original productions, exclusive series, and films. Its subscription plans range in cost, starting from 7.99 Euros for a basic plan, up to 15.99 Euros for a premium plan that allows streaming on four devices simultaneously in Ultra HD quality.

You can indeed share your Netflix account with others by adding extra member slots for 3.99 euros each per month, but the company discourages password sharing to minimize potential revenue loss. An extra member can only use one device at a time, and they must be an adult.

Creating a profile is easy and can offer each household member their personalized viewer experience. Netflix also offers features like content downloading for offline viewing and comprehensive parental control options.

Netflix is compatible with a wide range of platforms such as Smart TVs, streaming media players, gaming consoles, computers, smartphones and tablets, blu-ray players, and set-top boxes.

Among the most-watched series on Netflix are "Squid Game", "Stranger Things", and "Money Heist". The most-watched films include "The Red Notice" and "Don't Look Up".

Netflix recently ventured into the realm of gaming with its collection of exclusive mobile games available at no extra cost for subscribers. However, these games haven't been very popular, with less than 1% of subscribers engaging with them.

To end, it's worth noting how Netflix differs from its competitors like Apple TV Plus, Disney Plus, and Amazon Prime Video. Besides content offerings and pricing, differences occur in device compatibility and the provision of extra features.
