Netflix is now offering the opportunity to stream everything from Stranger Things to Love Is Blind and Bird Box for free and without an account. Sign us up (or, er, don't actually.)

In a bid to entice customers to the streaming service, Netflix have announced anyone using a desktop or Android browser can watch content free of charge, though the service is not yet available to those with iOS browsers.

The first episodes of loads of originals like Stranger Things, Elite, When They See Us, Love Is Blind, Our Planet and Grace and Frankie will be available for free, as well as Netflix films - Murder Mystery, Bird Box and The Two Popes.

Speaking about the new sampling option, Netflix told Fox Business: "We're looking at different marketing promotions to attract new members and give them a great Netflix experience."

Currently, Netflix does offer 30-day free trials that open its entire streaming catalogue to people who sign up. After 30 days, plans cost from £8.99 a month. The difference with the new free trial is you are not required to sign up or log in. The shows just stream for the viewer with one click, though presumably only single episodes are available to try and entice you to the show.

If you've been pestering your friends to stop using your Netflix account, or maybe encouraging your parent to get into a show you love? This could be the perfect opportunity.
