Once again, Netflix has stumbled on live. This Sunday, after 75 minutes of waiting, the platform resigned itself to canceling its live broadcast of a special episode of the reality show “Love is blind.” Like Friends or Harry Potter, the episode had to reunite the cast of the show. With one difference, everything had to be broadcast live.

If the show was carried out live, subscribers of the streaming service will need to be patient before enjoying the show. The platform limited itself to warning that it will be available “as soon as possible”.
On the Down Detector site, which lists failures in services or applications, more than 10,000 reports were sent around the time originally scheduled for the program, indicates the specialized site TechCrunch. Netflix did not detail the problems that led to the cancellation of the live.
This is only the second Netflix live stream. The first was the broadcast of the Chris Rock show, an event after the Will Smith slapping scandal. If English-speaking viewers had been able to watch the show live, Netflix would have recognized an error in its interface.
Since the show was not subtitled in French, the presence of English text caused an interface conflict on platforms set to French. This had led to some French viewers being deprived of the Chris Rock show.
