One of the most difficult parts of watching Netflix is picking the movie or TV show you want to see, but their latest feature is here to change that. The streaming giant is testing a new Direct feature in France and it’s the closest thing you’ll get to traditional TV on this platform.

Netflix Direct offers real-time, scheduled programming, reminiscent of regular television channels. France has proven to be the perfect country to test this innovation due to their high consumption of traditional TV, according to Netflix’s official statement.

While using this feature, viewers aren’t required to choose what they are going to watch and it’s perfect for everyone who’s lacking inspiration. Netflix Direct will be here to introduce them to the diversity of their content library, and it’s the right fit for newbies who are still discovering the platform and all the amazing content it has in store.

If you feel that the whole point of Netflix is not having to watch an old-fashioned TV channel, this new feature may not be your cup of tea. We’re yet to see how the test goes and if they’re going to make Netflix Direct available to a global audience, but indecisive viewers who simply want to sit back and relax without choosing their next movie or TV show could find it interesting.
