LIFESTYLE // The Netflix Tag

Hey there!

I got tagged by the lovely Danielle at A Shi...pload of Polish in one of my favourite tag posts of recent - the Netflix tag! I have been taking advantage of Netflix this year due to it being cheaper in Canada ($7 and the CAD is 1.8 - £1 so it's an utter bargain!) and as a result productivity has decreased. Unfortunately I have cancelled my subscription after this month so I think this will be a nice commemorative post (because that is obviously needed).

All Time Favourite

Honestly, I use Netflix as a way of watching old childhood films that I would be embarrassed to buy in a shop. I'd say on the British version my top two would be The Last Song and The Lizzie McGuire Movie. I know - how embarrassing!

Current Addiction

Fortunately I have just finished an addiction with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I absolutely adored that show but it was only 8 or so episodes long. I need a new season ASAP! I chain watched Once Upon a Time for such a long time. I think I got through 2 and a half seasons in a month? Unfortunately I watched too much, way too quickly and I cannot sit and watch it anymore. It was so good as well!

Wishlist

I do wish the British Netflix had all of the Disney films like in the US. I wouldn't mind it also having The Notebook. I have bought that DVD for so many people as gifts, I just can't bear to buy another copy!

Pet Peeve

It's so annoying when they remove films/series! I really think there should be a countdown stating how many days it has left. I remember starting a series, getting half way through and it being taken down. Such a pain!

Oh, and you cannot forget the whole 'do you wish to continue?' screen. Yes, I know I am making questionable life choices Netflix but you are a website and have absolutely no right to judge okay?

Marathon Essentials

Food and plenty of it! From popcorn to sweets and cake - I cannot binge watch anything without a tactical snack pile at the end of my bed. A cat is optional but preferred.

You Should Watch

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - written by Tina Fey (who does have a cameo!) and utterly hilarious.

Austenland - A middle aged woman goes to England to immerse herself in old English traditions (which may involve lots of actors). It's cringey but so hilarious!

Dance Academy - again, it's a little cringey but made me want to dance all over again. At only 30 minutes an episode, it's so easy to watch for hours.

Chicago - need I say more?

I now tag:

Hannah at hannatalks

Jess at Jess Will

and of course anyone else who wants to do this tag! Let me know if you do this post - I'd love to get some new Netflix recommendations!
