Netflix is one of the largest and most popular streaming services in the world, originally starting as a DVD rental service and later evolving into the leading player in the streaming industry. It offers an extensive library of movies, TV shows, documentaries, and original productions.
Netflix was founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in Los Gatos, California, as an online DVD rental service. It offered customers the ability to rent movies and TV shows and receive them by mail, revolutionizing the traditional video rental model. In 2007, Netflix decided to focus on streaming and began offering its platform, which allowed users to watch movies and shows instantly over the Internet.
