Oh WOW.
Winter is drawing in and to be fair, any excuse for fluffy socks and comfy PJs is a good thing.
There’s a noticeable chill the last couple of days which is just IDEAL when you can’t find last year’s Penneys hot water bottle anywhere in the house.
However, there’s one major advantage to the arrival of winter and that’s the excuse to indulge in yet more TV and film marathons.
If you’re an avid Netflix fan, you’ll be delighted to hear the streaming site has got even better too as a ‘random’ button has just been introduced.
Spotted on Cosmopolitan UK, the random button pops up at the top of the screen and once you press it, a film/TV show/documentary will immediately start playing.
This is absolutely ideal for those occasions when you have absolutely no idea what you want to watch and you need someone to choose for you.
Thankfully, Netflix is now in a position to take this pressure away and present you with any number of random choices. YAY.
So far, the new feature is only accessible to those using Google Chrome as an internet browser. However, it’s sure to be so popular that it’s rolled out across the board.
Unsurprisingly, people have been praising the random gems that Netflix throws up on Twitter:
Clicked a completely random movie on Netflix and it legitimately changed my outlook on life. Damn

Others haven’t yet realised that the random button now exists.

@netflix Suggestion: Random select/play feature.

Either way, this is GREAT news.
