UPDATE: Aug. 19,Watch Don’t Believe The Hole Online 2022, 1:46 p.m. EDT This article has been updated to reflect that the issue had been resolved.

Who among us hasn't wanted to just walk out of work early on a Friday?

That's what Netflix did on Friday morning anyway. Users started reporting widespread outages around 11 a.m. ET on the last day of the work week, according to Down Detector (owned by Mashable's parent company, Ziff Davis). That means the easiest way to catch up on Better Call Saulor rewatch Breaking Bad(sorry, those are the only shows on my mind after the excellent BCS finale this week) waltzed out of the office without telling anyone.

Netflix itself even confirmed the issue on its website. The service worked for me, personally, at the time of writing, and the Down Detector graph started to recede around 11:30 a.m., but plenty of folks around the world still lost out on their ability to stream shows on a Friday. Bummer!

Not long after, Netflix's site was updated to confirm that the issue had been resolved. A Netflix spokesperson told Mashable it was a "minor glitch" that took less than 10 minutes to resolve.

That means now everyone can catch up on Vince Gilligan's nuanced, character-driven masterpieces. Seriously, Better Call Saulis so good. I can't believe it. Go watch it.
