Netflix improves surround sound, Dolby Atmos quality for TV users

They still have a lot of movies and series on Netflix that aren't being uploaded with 5.1 yet... I'd rather see them close that gap

Just about everything I see is at least 5.1 and there is now a ton of Atmos.

Trick might be getting the Atmos sound from wherever you are running Netflix to hardware that can decode it. For instance, Netflix app on your TV most likely will not send Atmos downstream today.

Excerpted from linked Blog Post:

Most TV devices that support 5.1 or Dolby Atmos are capable of receiving better sound. Depending on your device and bandwidth capabilities, the bitrate you receive may vary:

• 5.1: From 192 kbps (good) up to 640 kbps (great/perceptually transparent)
• Dolby Atmos: From 448 kbps up to 768 kbps (Dolby Atmos is available for members subscribed to the Premium plan)

Look up HDMI 2.1 and eARC. If the Netflix app you are using is in the TV you most likely will not get Atmos until the hardware changes.

My LG OLED WebOS has Netflix. It is my preferred platform for Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Vudu. It pushes Atmos, I'm 5.2.2, to my Onkyo RZ610 via ARC. The RZ confirms what it receives and outputs to the speakers. I don't think Fire TV supports Atmos yet. The OLED also supports Dolby Vision.
