Netflix Went Down and People Freaked Out

Netflix went down on Saturday afternoon leaving millions of viewers across the globe without access to their favorite shows. Around 3:25 p.m., Netflix tweeted that it was aware of streaming issues and was working on a fix. Over two hours later, things were finally back up and running.

Hi all - we are aware of streaming issues and we are working quickly to solve them. We will update you when they are resolved.
