Watch movies and series on Netflix

Want to relax for an evening? Grab the tablet, laptop or smartphone and watch a nice movie or series on Netflix. Anyone who opens the app or site will probably notice it right away: the range is incredibly large. For example, Netflix contains many Dutch and international romantic comedies, nature films, drama series, documentaries, thrillers and horror films. New titles are added almost every month.

Play a fun series or movie as follows:

• Still need inspiration? Tap at the bottom left Homepage (small house icon).
