We gave up on cable TV completely a few years ago. I didn't have it growing up because they couldn't offer it to us because of where we lived. By the time I went to college, my parents finally got the service, but I was dorm living with my own E! channel, so I was golden. Don't get me wrong, I love sitcoms, dramas, and even the most asinine reality shows... but cable just wasn't worth it for me.
Enter: Netflix.
I've been obsessed with Netflix for going on seven or so years, before I owned any streaming device...
Now, I just stream! We don't miss cable one bit, and we also have Hulu Plus & Amazon Prime. I can watch any show, at any time with no commercials! That is the way life should be. Let's face it, the world is going that way. I consider myself a bit of a Netflix aficionado. You name it, chances are that I have seen it. Better yet, I have probably binge watched it.
Am I a better person for it? Besides my increased knowledge of vampires (Vampires Diaries,) how to be a doctor (Scrubs, Hart of Dixie,) my rights & the law (all three series of Law & Order) or how to make meth (Breaking Bad, ps JK Mom) I'm probably not. Then there are the lessons that Dexter taught us, which reminds me that television shows are not how-to videos.
Don't try any of the above at home, little chickens.
My point in all of this (if you're one of the two people probably still reading) is that I am in a serious Netflix rut. I've revisited favorites, I've watched those movies that I have been putting off (Fargo was insanely awesome) but I need some input! Hit me with your best shot show or movie and help me with another unnecessary obsession! What are friends for?
Or else I will be forced to read one of the seven half read books on my kindle.
I was not asked to write this for any reason, these are just my thoughts.
Netflix should probably pay me not to write about them.
Disclaimer: obviously I have a life, this post might just not get that point across.
I'm going to go play outside now.
