This has been Netflix’s year in South Africa. The company more than doubled its amount of subscribers as people retreated inside for lockdown.
Users signed up for all the local and international content across a huge number of genres, and most of the time were not disappointed.
From big international lockdown hits like Tiger King to homegrown series like Blood and Water, there was nothing South Africans weren’t keen to watch.
