Netflix: How To Find Out The First Thing You Streamed

Netflix has been around for decades as the company was formed in 1997--let that sink in for a minute. While originally the service delivered DVDs directly to your home, it's now become the most popular streaming service.

In 2007, Netflix debuted its streaming side of the company, originally titled "Watch Now." This would become the future of the service and the aspect of it that people would fall in love with. Since the streaming element of Netflix has been around for over a decade, most people have probably completely forgotten what they first watched when "Watch Now" debuted. Luckily, the Netflix Twitter account reminded us how to check that all out.

So what's the first thing you watched on Netflix? I've been a subscriber back from the DVD-only days, where I'd get three movies at once, watch them all in one night, then send them all back. I had a lot of free time during college, and I watched a lot of weird movies. Right around that time is when streaming came along as well.

After downloading all my info, I found I have--to this date--streamed 6,169 (nice) items, and the first thing I ever streamed on Netflix, back in 2008, was the movie Street Fighter Alpha. That's something I never would have guessed. The second item was the 1973 movie Westworld, followed by a lot of 30 Rock episodes and Troma movies I'm too embarrassed to discuss.

It's fun to look back and see your first dip into the streaming pool. Now, we don't even think twice about what the first thing we streamed on a specific service because there are multiple ones, and they are a normal part of life. So, I ask you. What's the first thing you streamed on Netflix? Let us know.
