Is Netflix Back in a Big Way?

Shares of Netflix exploded 70% after it released its quarterly earnings. In this video, Motley Fool consumer goods bureau chief Isaac Pino takes a look at the fundamentals of the company, and tells us the content deals he likes that Netflix has been making, but says that he is suspicious of the business model as a whole.
