I was talking with a friend about Netflix earlier this week and they said it would be better if you didn't need to pay a £5.99 fee every month (however everyone thinks that) and he said there is no feature to watch programs with friends. We then discussed how cool it would be if you could watch the same program at the same time as your friend however in your own house. This would allow families who live far apart to watch TV programs and films together and see key points in the plot unfold together.
In conclusion, it's not a huge feature however it is definitely something I'd like to see in Netflix in the future.
