Netflix has become a very popular form of catching up on TV shows, new movies, or just re-watching old nostalgic movies from your childhood. Their prices aren’t half bad, and although the American and Canadian version have different content, for the most part they upload the most popular shows. It’s a good thing to have if you never remember to PVR your favourite shows, or if you’ve fallen behind a few seasons and need to take your time to catch up. Whatever the reason, Netflix has your back. But, there are some people who do take advantage of those shows that have over eight seasons, and at least twenty episodes per season. The ones where Netflix asks “are you still watching?” and you shamefully press “Yes.” You know you could probably be doing something better with your time than re-watching The Office for the fifth time in the row, but with it being winter there isn’t really much else to do with our time but to curl up on the couch and watch at least five hours of TV. If you’re one of those people who can name most or all of the popular Netflix shows in this quiz, then perhaps it’s time for you to take a break and go outside.
