Buffering Netflix

Buffering time is the scourge of bingers everywhere. How can one be expected to navigate Mad Men’s dark themes and dramatic build-ups, if the climax is snarled by the horrors of excessive loading? 

There are some workarounds here, but they only work for watching on a computer: while playing a title, hold down Shift+Opt (Shift+Alt for Windows) and left click, to open up a “hidden” menu (called the Stream Manager) with buffering fixes and other streaming options.

 If you are using Chrome, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt/Opt+S to access this menu.
