You can now watch 'select' Netflix movies for free without a subscription

Netflix is currently providing access to a select variety of movies and television shows on their website for free. This offer does not require a Netflix subscription as the company sees this a preview of what they offer on their paid plans. 

With millions of active monthly subscribers worldwide, Netflix is arguably the most popular streaming platform and this is largely possible due to the quality of titles available on the service. The popularity also led to the compromisation of the accounts of numerous users and the company put in place a way of securing user profiles with a PIN in response. 

In another attempt to sparingly to keep its subscribers' accounts safer, Netflix introduced the free-to-watch offer. With this, you will be able to watch up to ten (10) Netflix Original TV shows and movies including "Bird Box" and "Stranger Things" available only on their website—this means the Netflix app can not be used to stream these titles since it is made for only Netflix subscribers.

How to watch the movies for free

Just to reiterate, the free movies are not available to watch within the Netflix app on your devices, the only way to enjoy them is via their website—simply head to netflix.com/watch-free, scroll the available options, and press play on the movie/TV show you prefer. It is worth noting that a 30-second Netflix ad will be played before each movie starts.
