Code of Ethics

The Board of Directors of Netflix, Inc. (the "Company") has adopted this Code of Ethics (this "Code") for its directors, officers
and other employees (individually, "Netflix Party" and collectively, "Netflix Parties"). As used herein, the principal executive
officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions are
sometimes also referred to as the "Senior Financial Officers".

This Code has been reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

● Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal
and professional relationships;
● Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits
to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by the Company;
● Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
● The prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in this Code of violations of this Code; and
● Accountability for adherence to this Code.

I. Honest and Ethical Conduct

Netflix Parties are expected to act and perform their duties ethically and honestly and with the utmost integrity. Honest conduct
is considered to be conduct that is free from fraud or deception. Ethical conduct is considered to be conduct conforming to
accepted professional standards of conduct. Ethical conduct includes the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of
interest between personal and professional relationships as discussed in below.

II. Conflicts of Interest

A conflict of interest exists where the interests or benefits of one person or entity conflict or appear to conflict with the interests
or benefits of the Company. While it is not possible to describe every situation in which a conflict of interest may arise, Netflix
Parties must never use or attempt to use their position with the Company to obtain improper personal benefits. Any Netflix Party
who is aware of a conflict of interest, or is concerned that a conflict might develop, is required to discuss the matter with a
higher level of management or the General Counsel promptly. Senior Financial Officers may, in addition to speaking with the
General Counsel, also discuss the matter with the Audit Committee.

III. Disclosure

Senior Financial Officers are responsible for ensuring that the disclosure in the Company's periodic reports is full, fair,
accurate, timely and understandable. In doing so, Senior Financial Officers shall take such action as is reasonably appropriate
to (i) establish and comply with disclosure controls and procedures and accounting and financial controls that are designed to
ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to them; (ii) confirm that the Company's periodic
reports comply with the requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (iii) ensure that
information contained in the Company's periodic reports fairly presents in all material respects the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company.

Senior Financial Officers will not knowingly (i) make, or permit or direct another to make, materially false or misleading entries in
the Company's, or any of its subsidiary's, financial statements or records; (ii) fail to correct materially false and misleading
financial statements or records; (iii) sign, or permit another to sign, a document containing materially false and misleading
information; or (iv) falsely respond, or fail to respond, to specific inquiries of the Company's independent auditor or outside
legal counsel.

IV. Compliance

It is the Company's policy to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. It is the personal responsibility of each Netflix
Party to adhere to the standards and restrictions imposed by those laws, rules and regulations, and in particular, those relating
to accounting and auditing matters.
Any Netflix Party who is unsure whether a situation violates any applicable law, rule, regulation or Company policy should
discuss the situation with the General Counsel.

V. Internal Reporting

Netflix Parties shall take all appropriate action to stop any known misconduct by fellow Netflix Parties that violate this Code. To
this end, Netflix Parties shall report any known or suspected misconduct to the General Counsel or, in the case of misconduct
by a Senior Financial Officer, also to the Chair of the Company's Audit Committee. In addition, Netflix Parties are encouraged to
use the Company's confidential internal reporting system to report breaches of this Code. Information concerning the
Company's confidential internal reporting system can be located on the Company's Intranet. The Company will not retaliate or
allow retaliation for reports made in good faith.

VI. Accountability

Any violation of this Code may result in disciplinary action, including termination, and if warranted, legal proceedings. This
Code is a statement of certain fundamental principles, policies and procedures that govern the Netflix Parties in the conduct of
the Company's business. It is not intended to and does not create any rights in any employee, customer, supplier, competitor,
shareholder or any other person or entity. The General Counsel and/or the Audit Committee will investigate violations and
appropriate action will be taken in the event of any violation of this Code.

VII. Waivers and Amendments of the Code

The Company is committed to continuously reviewing and updating our policies and procedures. Therefore, this Code is
subject to modification. Any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Code must be approved in writing by the Company's
Board of Directors and promptly disclosed pursuant to applicable laws and regulations. Any waiver or modification of the Code
by a Senior Financial Officer will be promptly disclosed to stockholders if and as required by law or the rules of the stock
exchange or over the counter trading system on which Netflix's stock is traded or quoted.
