Netflix reveals a new quick way to search for movies
Streaming giant Netflix has unveiled a new way to search for films, allowing users to trawl through its extensive 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 hours or longer.
Announcing the new feature on Twitter, Netflix said: “If two hour films feel like too much of a commitment (but somehow ten episode series don’t) this is for you: Movies Under 90 Minutes”.
Many people are wondering however, how does the new search function work?
The streaming giant has added the new category to the movie section of its app and it is broken down into subsections by genre, so users can select a comedy or documentary with ease.
Their function allows users to select options from a variety of sub-sections including ...
