I love Netflix!

How did people use to watch TV? Waiting week-to-week for a new episode? Yeah right!

Basically I am always watching The Office. After watching it completely through I will try a new series. Once it is complete or I have become bored, I re-watch The Office.

I have watched The Office six times! Still love it! In case anyone wonders the best episode is 'Stress Relief' (I think it is season 8, episode 12 or 16?) Highly recommend it. Any other Office lovers on here?


I mainly only watch TV series on Netflix. I feel like a movie takes so much time to watch, where as, TV episodes do not take as long. Likewise, I feel like movies storylines end so quickly and are very unevolved compared a complete series. Does anyone else feel this way?

Movies tell self-contained stories with exceptions where storylines are split into 2 or 3 movies so they have just a few hours at most to develop them. In a TV show a story-arc can be developed over many episodes with great complexity. If they're adapting a book, a TV show offers many more possibilities of development: if you're watching The Expanse - which recently moved to Amazon Video - they introduced important characters before the book versions. With Netflix you can binge watch a whole story-arc while weekly episodes force you to wait for new ones and meanwhile you might forget important details. Yes, Netflix is great!
Ciao :)

Oh, I adore Netflix. There are so many hidden gems there. It's also nice to not have to wait forever for the next episode of something. Though I do wish shows were still made with at least 50 episodes. This move to only 10 episodes per season means I spend a lot of time figuring out what to watch next. And I miss the really good shows that won't have any additional episodes. I find myself always saving the movies for moments like these, to hold me over until I decide which show to go to next.

I have such a hard time committing to a tv show when there's so many good books out there, but hey sometimes I do!
I'm currently watching Designated Survivor on Netflix. Only a couple episodes in, but so far so good!
Other series I have followed (all very adult content) are Shameless, Orange is the New Black, and This Is Us.

I love Netflix! It has such a wide variety of shows and movies that there really is something for everyone. My friend and I inevitably end up there when we get bored.

Yes. We don't even have cable TV in our house, just a smartTV with Netflix and youtube on it. It's all we need, really.

Netflix is amazing!

Growing up I only had 4 channels (I grew up in a tiny town and slightly poor) and missed out on so much! I was always hearing about this show or that show. Finally, they were all (sort of) compiled into one location that I, as an adult, finally had access to.

I constantly binge-watch shows from years ago as well as newer ones and I have fallen in love with the concept of an episodic story. I rarely watch movies anymore. If I do it's something big like Star Wars or Marvel, but my heart is with the shows created for regular viewing.

In college, I had a subscription and binge-watched all of Teen Wolf, Carmen Santiago, The Dragon Prince and begun watching Big Mouth on. I wish they had a larger collection but I'm happy I had the subscription as that's how I found out about Chinese dramas.

I do love Netflix most of the time. It plus Crave are the only two ways that I can watch any type of shows of movies but there is such a huge selection sometimes it’s really hard to make choices.

Netflix is probably the first choice for streaming at our house. Some of their original content is amazing. Stranger Things, Series of Unfortunate Events, The Highwaymen were all very well done.

I am just in love with Netflix because of the quality of content which they deliver to us. It is amazing. And right now, I am watching Riverdale Season 4.
