If you think back to last November, you'll remember that everyone was throwing in their towels on Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX) amidst a sudden whirlwind of bad news - like the serious Kevin Spacey allegations and Disney pulling all of its content in order to start its own streaming business.
It was a bad news business for this streaming giant.
But fast forward six months, and the tables seem to be turning...
Recently, Netflix announced it is spending $8 billion on developing and acquiring original content. And on top of this, it plans to raise $1.5 million in debt.
That's a step in the right direction - something any investor likes to see.
So, I've got three ways you can play this upswing - and the third one will blow your mind.

The company came in at 7.4 million subscribers for the first quarter - beating the "expected" 6.5 million by nearly 1 million.
On top of this, Netflix noted it experienced its fastest year-over-year growth in company history.
