Binge watching is about to get a WHOLE lot easier.
Have you ever been six or seven episodes deep when Netflix asks you the dreaded question ‘Are you still watching’? Yes… we’re still watching and STOP JUDGING US.
Perhaps the streaming site is feeling a tad guilty, as they’re currently trialling something that could make all our binge dreams come true.
A ‘skip intro’ button would allow the viewer to skip through those pesky opening credits and get straight to the good stuff. The Verge reports that some subscribers are beginning to see the button pop up on their computer, although it hasn’t been officially launched across all platforms, so we may have to wait a while.
Those lucky few who have used the button seem pretty pleased.
Thank you @netflix for the ‘skip intro’ button. You just get me. ? ? #muchappreciated #skipintro.

Just when I thought I couldn’t @netflix any harder… the #skipintro button was born.

In terms of skipping intro’s, we’re ALL for it. Now… is there a button to skip through Monday?
