It took a while, but Netflix has finally added a “shuffle” function.
The streaming service’s “Play Something” feature either plays a new series or movie similar to one you’ve watched before, an episode or movie that you’ve already watched and may want to watch again if it’s been a while, or an episode from a show you’ve started but haven’t finished.
So instead of spending a half-hour trying to figure out what to watch, Netflix will serve something up to you on a silver platter, which means more watching and less scrolling. (Variety)
