In the tradition of declaring something new as "X for Y", I declare this is "Cytube for Netflix". Or it will be, when you add chat functionality.

It's a really neat idea, and it's basically second-best to watching a video in the same room as someone else. It's really fun to watch shows with other people, have discussions about the show, and share the experience.

Yeah it's like Cytube. My use case was that I'm in a long-distance relationship and we both are huge movie buffs. YouTube just simply doesn't have the content that we want. Netflix does but it doesn't allow embeds so it took a bit more trickery :)
