Netflix: We're coming for your shared accounts.

Apple: And here's how you can securely share those passwords.

How does netflix notice a shared account anyway?

Is it just two devices accessing the same profile?

how does it handle legitimate scenarios like the kid away at college or someone traveling?

Well, Netflix used to have a page[1] that specified how, but it's since been dumbed down. It used to say it uses a combination of IP addresses (and geoip), device IDs, and account activity from devices signed into your Netflix account.
