Everyday life is full of decisions about what to wear, what to eat, what to do, what to tweet and, once that’s all done, you usually just want to relax and watch something on TV. Just not that, or that, or that… OMG JUST PICK SOMETHING! Enter Netflix’s latest feature – Play Something.
Netflix recently announced the Play Something button, for days when your brain has run out of decision-making capacity but still wants to be entertained until it gives up on consciousness altogether.
Want to watch something but not sure what? We got you covered!
Starting today you’ll find PLAY SOMETHING when you log on to Netflix — locate it underneath your name, as a row on the homepage, or in the menu. It will show you one of three things… pic.twitter.com/xkHgfMHYpR

Click the Play Something button and Netflix will start playing a random option, based on previous habits, for your viewing pleasure. This could be an episode of something you never finished (beginning from wherever you left off), an episode from a new series or film you might like, or an episode/film you already watched a while ago and might want to watch again.
The Play Something feature is currently only available on TV-based versions of the Netflix app (including things like the Xbox console), but an Android version should be coming soon.
No more endless scrolling while your food gets sad and cold. The future is here.
