TV shows, etc) that we present to you based on what you’ve watched.
Resolution
Most devices are capable of streaming Netflix in high definition on fast internet connections and will play Netflix in their maximum supported resolution (see our Internet Connection Speed recommendations for more information).

the appearance of subtitles and captions. Some devices will display subtitles and captions in their default appearance, or are not configured to display subtitles.
