I am THRILLED to see this feature rolled out because my curious daughter watched one or two too many “kids” shows that I didn’t want her to (and honestly didn’t even realize were ON Netflix) a couple of years ago and I had to institute a “never watch a new show before you ask” policy. Now, I can review shows I might be concerned and PIN protect those bad boys if I don’t want my kids to consume that content. Like MOST good parenting tasks, this will require a bit of time and research on Mom and Dad’s parts, but it will be WELL worth it! A good rule of thumb is to scan the “what’s new” on Netflix and the beginning of each month, then use the new Netflix parental controls to block anything you don’t want your kids seeing and/or becoming obsessed with.
I for one, am very glad that Netflix listened to parents on this one. Especially since Netflix unfortunately makes cartoons for adults, I’m glad to know there is now an extra layer of parental protection I can provide through Netflix parental controls.
