Netflix has crashed as millions tried streaming the highly-anticipated volume two of Stranger Things 4.
Subscribers faced a sudden crash while watching the episode, and were greeted by a ‘Network Error’ message that informed them that there was a problem connecting to Netflix servers.
The second volume of Stranger Things 4 dropped at 5pm AEST on Monday.
Outage detection website DownDetector detected a massive spike just after 5pm in Australia, with thousands reporting problems with the service.
Outage detection website DownDetector also confirmed that many Netflix users faced a brief outage and a crash on the app. The crash reportedly started affecting users at around 12pm IST and by 12:50pm, users had reported being able to watch the episodes again without any connectivity issues.
Furious social media users took to Twitter to complain about the outage. Netflix has yet to publicly respond to the crash.
