Netflix finally adds a shuffle feature with ‘Play Something’

It's become something of a cliche at this point, but many of us are still just as likely to spend thirty minutes scrolling through the home screen on Netflix as we are to spend those thirty minutes watching an episode of a TV show. Even as Netflix continues bleeding licensed content as Disney, NBC, and more take back properties for their own streaming services, there is still an overwhelming amount of content on Netflix, which is why subscribers will be excited to see a new feature launching today that takes the decision-making process out of their hands.

On Wednesday, Netflix is adding a new feature on TV devices called "Play Something," which should help to take the stress out of finding your next show or movie. This feature has been in testing for quite some time, and has gone by a few different names (including "Shuffle"), but Netflix landed on Play Something for its launch.
