Over the past week or so Netflix has been rolling out a site refresh for its users, their first in four years.

Australian users are seeing the desktop update roll out with enhanced graphics, over a two week period.

According to Netflix:

With the new Netflix website, we’ve created a richer, more visual experience, and a website that works more like an app and less like a series of linked web pages. Information appears in-line and in context rather than on a separate page, which makes exploring the catalog faster than ever before.

When you hover your mouse over a title, you will now see a slideshow of images from that movie or show. We hope this slideshow will give you a better feel for what the show is about than reading the description alone.

Clicking on the title or synopsis opens an inline details pane, allowing you to browse episodes and read details and reviews. You can also explore similar titles by clicking More Like This, or jump off to titles from the same cast, genre or mood.

We’ve designed the website to work whether you are using a mouse, trackpad, or a touch screen. Touch screen users can tap to play or open details, and swipe to scroll through rows of titles.

If it hasn’t yet reached you, it shouldn’t be long!

Netflix has also now added a link at the bottom of a user’s home page to find movies and TV shows that include audio description tracks.
