Why won't Netflix connect on my Android 4.4.4 tablet

[fenpeppertree]

I just returned to Netflix after quite some time away, and was surprised I got a 30 day free trial, which is nice; but now, after installing and updating the Netflix app, I keep getting the message "Can't Connect to Netflix". I've tried shutting down and restarting several times, but it still just doesn't connect.

Have you tried reinstalling the app?
