Abstract

In the era of digital entertainment, online streaming platforms have revolutionized the way people
consume movies and TV shows. Netflix, a frontrunner in this domain, has transformed the traditional
television experience into a personalized, on-demand streaming service accessible to millions of
viewers worldwide. Despite its immense popularity, there remains an opportunity to innovate further
and offer users a fresh perspective on content discovery and engagement. This project aims to create
a Netflix clone, a platform that builds upon the success of Netflix while introducing unique features to
enhance user experience and cater to evolving preferences in entertainment consumption.
Problem Statement
While Netflix provides a wide range of content, users often face decision fatigue when selecting what to
watch, and they may miss out on discovering content aligned with their interests. Additionally, certain
niche genres and underrepresented content might not receive the attention they deserve. Addressing
these challenges through a Netflix clone presents an exciting opportunity to create a more engaging
and tailored streaming experience.

Solution
Our objective is to develop a Netflix-inspired platform that not only offers a vast library of movies and
TV shows but also introduces innovative features to simplify content selection and enhance user
engagement. By leveraging modern technologies, we aim to create a platform that not only provides a
comprehensive content catalog but also empowers users to discover hidden gems and connect with
like-minded viewers.
