    What the fuck does that mean?? Presumably “From” is the name of the show. “Netflix Effects” makes no sense as a verb phrase???

      ‘Effect’ can be a verb in English, but it doesn’t work in this context.

      Blame Hollywood Reporter. It’s their shit title.

      It’s a good show called From that was only available on MGM. I think. We watched it a couple of times on free 7-Day trials. I assume the article is saying that now it’s on Netflix and it’s popular.

      It’s when a show with cult popularity gets added to Netflix and gains more mainstream traction, boosting its way up the charts long after it originally released. So “Netflix Effect” is the phenomenon, and they added an S to make it into a verb

            Yes. I know. The s doesn’t make it a verb. For example “These shows Netflix Effect their way to…”

              Ah, I guess I was confused how that statement was related. The title looked like a pretty clear case of verbing to me
