Netflix initially promises to put acting first to get results (7)
I believe the answer is:
answers
'results' is the definition.
('answer' can be a synonym of 'result')
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for answers that I've seen before include "Rawness (anag)" , "Returns" , "Responses; solutions" , "Replies" , "Responds" .)
