On its blog, Netflix recently announced they are teaming up with Facebook to release a social suggestion feature that allows you to privately share Netflix recommendations with your friends. Without posting publicly to social media, you can now recommend content to people. So if you were discussing a particular movie or TV show with someone, you could follow up afterwards using this feature.
By connecting your Netflix account to your Facebook profile, the Netflix recommendation feature allows you to choose from a list of your Facebook friends and add an optional comment. Every time you finish watching something, it will ask you if you want to share with a friend. If the contact in question hasn't linked their accounts, you can send your suggestion via a private message using Facebook Messenger.
