Netflix is looking to win over new customers by offering limited free access to several of its best-known original titles, including “Stranger Things” and “Bird Box.”
Other freebies offered include “Murder Mystery,” “Love is Blind,” and “Grace and Frankie.” The catch is viewers can only watch the first episode of the first season of the TV shows offered, and both its free movies and TV shows are preceded by a 30-second Netflix ad. Viewers can watch the free content on desktop and Android browsers, but not iOS browsers, with a full range of language options.
Netflix has experimented with offering free content before, but this latest, expanded slate of new content was first noticed over the last weekend.
