Why it matters
Choosing what to watch takes a long time. The new tab shortens it with mood-based picks.
Watch: it may reach your country later, with no date given.
The details
- Netflix calls the tab a "test kitchen" for ways to find something to watch.
- The first test suggests titles by themes like "something light", "scare me", "family movie night" and "quick watches".

- It works on supported TVs for English-language users in the US, and Netflix plans to widen it in the coming weeks.
