One of the best features of Netflix is the ability to binge-watch TV series without having to sit through pesky ads ... or at least it was, until now. 

Cord Cutters News reports that some subscribers in the United Kingdom are complaining of having to sit through “unskippable” ads in between episode of shows that they watch. These ads, it says, promote other original Netflix series available on the streaming platform.
