as they have CD’s, DVDs and even movies in 3D. As technological advances progress towards the year, the quality of the
content will also progress as we now have movies in HD, 3D and Blu-Ray. These three movie qualities provide more than
just the high definition of the movie. With Netflix you can choose between basic, standard or premium plans. If you pick the
standard and premium, Netflix will provide HD streaming. But if they pay for the premium, they will receive Ultra HD. The
premium is for viewers who are concerned about the quality of watching. The basic plan allows you to watch on one screen
at a time, the standard allows two and the premium plan allows four, so they can share the account with their whole family
and they can stream at the same time from any location. Besides taking away the physical disk’s business, Netflix’s content
has raised some issues amongst parents. Netflix provides viewers with content that is from other broadcasting companies
and they produce their own show. Their first Netflix original programming is House of Cards that was released in 2013. The
streaming device has gone from strength to strength with other great original programmes such as Orange Is The New Black,
Stranger Things and The Umbrella Academy. One of the issue in Netflix original series is from the Sex Education series.
The series follows around Otis Milburn who set up a sex advice business with his classmate, Maeve Wiley which started off
with Otis inadvertently assisting the school bully with his sexual performance anxiety. The reason as to why the students go
towards Otis and Maeve is because Otis’s mother is a sex therapist. The show tackled a few taboo topics such as underage
sex, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) and sexual assault. These topics are considered very taboo in a
Malaysian household and people of all ages can watch it, including teenagers. This could lead to a misunderstanding for
their perception of sex and genders as currently, Malaysia has no sex education subject that is taught in school.

Besides that, Netflix also has a show that has garnered quite the attention for the past few months and the show is called Messiah. The series follows the
rise of a Christ-like figure named al-Masih, or Arabic for “the Messiah”. His plan to ultimately march 2,000 Palestinian Syrians across the border of Israel.
A skeptical CIA agent is assigned to investigate the movement, and much of the series chronicles her attempts to figure out whether al-Masih is actually a
divine entity or just a dangerous con artist looking to upend the world’s geopolitical order. The show brings a lot of uproar from the public who has put up
a petition and encouraged people to boycott the series. The petition also called the series “evil” and “anti-Islamic propaganda.” The creator of the Messiah,
Michael Petroni said that Netflix was understandably nervous about him leading the project, but that he believes the conversations it can spark will be well
worth the risk. He admits that the show is provocative but not an offensive one. There are a lot of shows on Netflix that are meant for mature audiences
and there is one way for parents to control the content of Netflix for their children. The Netflix Kids section is very useful for the younger family
members, as it displays child-friendly content only. Parental controls can also be accessed in the “Settings” tab
as it allows parents who want to keep their kids from watching certain content. Netflix can become a platform for
people to use to learn about issues and it can also be entertaining and informative for kids. The content is already
there and we only have to choose the content that we want. Netflix is evolving from time to time and their original
series follows up with what is going on in the entire world.
