Netflix has put more than thirty episodes of various shows on YouTube. These are mainly documentaries produced by Netflix itself, including the nature documentary Our Planet, Explained and the documentary film 13th.
Netflix mainly released the episodes from an educational point of view, for example for teachers to show to students. In this way, the streaming service aims to support teachers and schools during the current corona crisis. After all, not everyone has a Netflix subscription and this way schools and teachers can still use educational series in their lessons. But of course you don’t have to be a student to enjoy the series.
In between the documentaries we find a complete season of Our Planet, a nature documentary by David Attenborough about our earth, which turned out to be very popular on Netflix. The series can unfortunately not be seen in 4K on YouTube, as you can via Netflix, but you still have good image quality with 1080p. There are also no Dutch subtitles available for the series. English subtitles are available. However, Netflix has promised to add other languages ​​soon.
Netflix also has the source material and an interview with the makers of the documentaries made public.
The 2016 documentary 13th is also worth seeing. Director Ava DuVernay provides a look at the history of racism in the United States and the massive criminalization of African Americans.
The other series that can be found on YouTube, in addition to the ones already mentioned:
Abstract
Babies
Chasing Choral
Knock Down the House
Period. End of the Sentence
The White Helmets
Zion
In total, you will find 20 hours of Netflix series on YouTube, which you can watch for free. Although a Netflix subscription offers great value for money, not everyone will want to pay to watch movies and series. In this way, the streaming service can at least show what Netflix has to offer in terms of non-fiction.
The videos can now be found on it Youtube Channel from the company. Whether we can expect more documentaries from Netflix on YouTube remains to be seen.
Netflix also follows in the footsteps of Apple TV +, which previously decided to offer series for free. Since mid-April, you can watch Dickinson, Servant, For All Mankind and a few other series and movies for free. All you need is an Apple ID and Apple TV app.
