Prior to the pandemic sweeping across the world, Netflix only expected to add seven million subscribers.
While the coronavirus pandemic has brought life to a grinding halt in America, it’s been great for business for streaming services.
There’s no doubt about that at all, the numbers prove it. Nearly 16 million new subscribers for Netflix! It’s double what the company was projecting! Double!
Business is booming for Netflix at the moment.

With people staying home and not able to really do much, streaming a ton of content has become the new normal in America, and Netflix knows how to provide hits.
Personally, I’d recommend checking out “Ozark” if you haven’t already seen it. Jason Bateman provides a first-rate performance.

If you’re looking for something a little lighter on the streaming service, give “Outer Banks” a shot. It’ll be stirring up memories of “The Goonies” with lots of modern-day twists.
