Are You Sick of Mindlessly Scrolling Through Netflix?
It’s fairly consistent question in my life: What should I watch on Netflix? I absolutely despise the decision making process involved with it though. I shutter thinking of all the times I’ve been handed the remote and told to “pick something” out of the infinite abyss of movies and TV shows. I enjoy doing a bit of research before I watch something, especially if I have to put guests into consideration. If you’re like me, you’re probably always on the lookout for a new show to binge or a movie to watch on Friday night. Allow me to introduce you to my handy dandy recommendation chart, so you always know what to watch Netflix.
