That's why many people were scared and reported despair on social media.
Netflix simulates viewers' TV crash
The advertisement was shown on the night of Sunday, July 24th, during one of the breaks on TV Globo's Fantástico program. Soon after, the subject became one of the most commented on Twitter. The official Netflix page even joked, asking “who scared you there” on the social network shortly after releasing the ingenious commercial.
Based on what was extracted from the internet users' reports, most of them believed that the television was really spoiling while showing the film's commercial. Several users made publications laughing when they realized that it was all just an image effect, but others were very nervous about the situation.
“WHAT ANGRY IS THIS NETFLIX COMMERCIAL BREAKING THE TV, for god's sake this tv is all I have in life”, said one of the Twitter users. Another commented: “I had a heart attack when I came back from the kitchen and saw that the screen was like this. I already broke this tv once. I don't have the health for that."
“Occult Agent”, the new production of Netflix
The synopsis of the feature that is available on the streaming platform says that the CIA agent, Court Gentry (played by Ryan Gosling), was recruited by Donald Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thornton) after being taken out of a penitentiary federal. Gentry was well known as a skilled 'dealer of death' in the past, but now he is the target.
Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans) plays a former CIA colleague who launches a global manhunt to destroy Gentry, who will need help to save himself. Agent Dani Miranda (Ana de Armas) will be ready to defend him.
