9 months after making its way on to Netflix, Fair Play gets broken down by HR professionals as a way to hype up the twisted corporate movie.

“grounds to fire” &#8211; Netflix’s ‘Fair Play’ Takes Notes from HR Professionals Months After Its Release

Netflix might be known for always giving their fans what they want, but it looks
like those days might be over. After an amazing run of putting out hit after
hit, the streaming giant seems to be in somewhat of a creative block at the
moment. That is why it has decided to try a different way of entertaining their
fans.

Instead of their usual route of adding new films and shows to their library, the
streaming giant brought back a film, Fair Play, that came out earlier this year.
However, this time they brought in the big guns to break down the problems with
the workplace thriller.


NETFLIX’S FAIR PLAY GETS TORN APART

In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Netflix shared a post with its
followers. The post featured a clip from a movie called Fair Play. However, the
highlight was the fact that they had brought on HR professionals to watch it.
Given that the film is R-rated and not safe for work, HR had notes. They watched
a scene unfold between two co-workers in the office, thankfully it was just a
text scene.

After watching the clip, the members had varying thoughts on the film, but the
consensus was the same. They agreed that if something like that had happened in
real life it would definitely be “grounds to fire” someone. Whereas another said
that the scene had “so many red flags,” and the third person was just in
complete disbelief.

While the film may have been a little too out there, there were a lot of social
media users who had never seen the film before. Even though some fans wanted to,
the clip left everyone a little bit confused.


NETIZENS REACT TO NETFLIX’S LATEST POST

Once Netflix posted the video, the streaming platform’s comment section was
filled with users who either wanted another show or had questions about the Fair
Play. While most people had not heard about the film when it came out in
January, most of them still were not too keen on paying attention to it even
now.

There were also a few social media users who seemed to be intrigued by the clip
Netflix had shared.

However, there were a few people who claimed that the film was a “waste of
time.”

While the film came out almost nine months ago, it is a surprise that the giant
had not shared something about it a little sooner. With the film garnering mixed
emotions when it first came out, it only ended up getting an 87% score from
Rotten Tomatoes. Even though it had some rather familiar faces, it ended up
fading into the background as Netflix upped its game.
