There’s an interesting trend with new titles that have been appearing on Netflix Watch Now – tv shows that are currently airing.

The series appear on Netflix when the season starts, and new episodes show up as they air.

It’s a bit of a win-win proposition. I get to watch shows on my TV (assuming my Xbox decides to work that day) without commercials on my time without having to remember to record it.

The idea of expiring shows is also intriuguing. Showtime has used this to good effect giving previews of new shows.

Either way, I’m interested to see where this goes. If the future of tv means subscribing to Netflix and getting on demand all network shows, count me excited.
