The Grinch may have stolen Christmas.
On this Christmas Day, the Grinch was disguised as Netflix.
The multi-billion dollar streaming service streamed its first ever live NFL game, that saw the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Unfortunately, the stream didn’t go according to plan, at least to some fans at home who kept running into issues.
“Another day of a live stream not working! Maybe fix your s*** before you go live for millions to watch, stick to movies and shows,” one angry fan posted on X.
“Audio issues on Netflix already,” another fan chimed in.
One fan referenced the poor streaming quality during the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, and couldn’t believe Netflix got the rights for these games, saying, “Netflix sucks. Really. After Tyson they put out this garbage to ruin Christmas?”
As fans complained throughout the game, there were also fans who praised the production and stream, noting that it wasn’t all bad for the streaming service.
“Like these HD/4K/ what ever they are -cameras @netflix … Sweet picture,” ESPN’s Louis Riddick posted on X.
“Netflix is doing a good job. This is a solid production all around,” one fan noted.
As always, there will be mixed reviews for just about anything.
Unfortunately for those angry fans, the other NFL game on Christmas, between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans, will also be live-streamed by Netflix.
Hopefully the streaming giant can fix out whatever issues they were experiencing in the first game and have a clean production for the second game.
Not to mention, the NFL and Netflix tapped Beyoncé to perform at halftime of the Houston-Baltimore game.
There better not be any issues during her performance.
If the Netflix thinks NFL fans are crazy, just wait until they have streaming issues during Beyoncé’s performance, and the BeyHive will be all over it.
Trust me Netflix, you don’t want to be on wrong side of the BeyHive.
