Accord­ing to Down­De­tec­tor, Net­flix users were expe­ri­enc­ing app crash­es. The out­age detec­tion web­site point­ed out that the out­age peaked around the same time Stranger Things premiered.

A few screen­shots shared by Net­flix show­ing that they were greet­ed with “Error 503” on the OTT plat­form. On the oth­er hand, oth­ers received a “net­work error” mes­sage and were asked to try again later.

The top­ic was not lim­it­ed to India or any par­tic­u­lar coun­try. Fans from all over the world start­ed tweet­ing to show their anger. Pret­ty soon, hash­tags like “Net­flix down” and “Net­flix crash” start­ed trend­ing on the microblog­ging platform.

Stranger Things star­ring Mil­lie Bob­by Brown is a pop­u­lar web series that has now come to an end. The Amer­i­can sci-fi hor­ror dra­ma tele­vi­sion series cre­at­ed by the Duf­fer Broth­ers is one of the most pop­u­lar shows on the OTT platform.
