Netflix takes Friday off for many users

Who among us hasn't wanted to just walk out of work early on a Friday?

That's what Netflix did on Friday morning in the U.S., anyway. Users around the country started reporting widespread outages around 11 a.m. ET on the last day of the work week, according to Down Detector (owned by Mashable's parent company, Ziff Davis). That means the easiest way to catch up on Better Call Saul or rewatch Breaking Bad (sorry, those are the only shows on my mind after the excellent BCS finale this week) waltzed out of the office without telling anyone.

Netflix itself even confirmed the issue on its website. The service worked for me, personally, at the time of writing, and the Down Detector graph started to recede around 11:30 a.m., but plenty of folks around the world still lost out on their ability to stream shows on a Friday. Bummer!

Hopefully, Netflix can resolve the issue soon, so everyone can catch up on Vince Gilligan's nuanced, character-driven masterpieces. Seriously, Better Call Saul is so good. I can't believe it. Go watch it.
