Netflix is reportedly testing a variable playback speed feature on its mobile apps, which allows viewers to watch their favorite movies and TV shows at slower or faster rates.
Per Android Police, the playback option is only being tested on Google's mobile operating system (Android) and gives the subscriber the ability to slow down the program they're watching "to 0.5x or 0.75x, or raise it to 1.25x or 1.5x." Features like these have been around for years on podcasts and audiobooks but it's an uncommon practice in the world of live-action entertainment.
Director Judd Apatow, who co-created Netflix's Love, responded to the variable playback news via his Twitter account: "No @Netflix no. Don’t make me have to call every director and show creator on Earth to fight you on this. Save me the time. I will win but it will take a ton of time. Don’t f**k with our timing. We give you nice things. Leave them as they were intended to be seen."
