Netflix has gone down for many users, who are unable to access the streaming platform.

Fans flooded social media with complaints after they were met with an error notification when trying to play films and TV shows.

‘This page isn’t working,’ a message read on the website version. ‘www.netflix.com is currently unable to handle this request.’

App users were told: ‘Netflix has encountered an error. Retrying in 20 seconds.’

Unsure of what else to do with their time now that You and Squid Game cannot be watched, unhappy viewers flocked to Twitter to question what was happening.

‘Netflix is down and I really don’t want it to be so pls fix it,’ one begged.

‘Is @netflix down for anyone else? #netflix,’ another asked.

‘Netflix down when its dinner time this is the worst,’ a follower fumed.

‘My Netflix is down now what am I gonna do??? Productive s**t ? Absolutely not,’ a Twitter user said.

As one blamed the outages on Joe Goldberg, joking: ‘Has Joe Goldberg killed Netflix? #netflixdown.’
