Todays post is bought to you by the letter N and the topic Netflix!
I don’t really watch tv, I haven’t seemed to even switch the box on for such a long time so when I got an offer sent through to my inbox for a 30 day free trial of Netflix I didn’t really see the point in signing up for it. This was 4 months ago and I now subscribe to the service monthly. So, “what changed?” I can hear you all ask… well, one evening I didn’t really have anything to do and fancied sitting and watching something, anything and couldn’t find anything that I fancied watching on “normal” telly so I had a look on-line at what I could find on Netflix, saw that they still had Gilmore Girls on there (which I had watched parts of previously) and decided that I would use my free trial to watch the show from the beginning, then the plan was to cancel.
I watched the whole of Gilmore Girls (all 7 Series, 153 episodes) and then I saw that they had an extr a seriesfor the Gilmore Girls called A Year in the Life. By this point I was nearing the end of my free trial so decided to stick with it and finish watching this show.
In work one day I overheard someone talking about The Umbrella Academy (on Netflix) so I then thought I’d watch the first episode to see what it was like… I was hooked and have since completed the first series and am anxiously awaiting the next series.
And now I have watched the following…
- Pretty Little Liars
- Orphan Black
- Black Mirror
- Consumed
- Girlboss
And I have a to watch list that keeps on growing steadily….
What series have you watched on Netflix? Do you have any suggestions of things I can add to my list of things to watch?

I’ll check them out! Thank you! Xx
In my entire life I’ve never paid for tv. The shows I like I watch the next day on the networks website and then I have Netflix. It’s great!! I do miss having a tv for like watching movies and things but that’s ok
I watch Netflix on my laptop but do miss having it on a bigger screen sometimes! I’ve just been watching Gone Girl! Xx
Ooo nice! In one place I was living there was a tv and a chrome cast- which connected to chrome on my laptop and played whatever I was watching onto the tv. That was great!
I’ve got a chrome cast but my tv doesn’t have the slot for it… my laptop works pretty well for most things though! Xxx
Oh nice! Yeah I’ve been a laptop only girl for like the last 9 years practically!
😁 me too! My tv hardly ever gets used at all! Xxx
I only got Netflix last month. I’d been meaning to for ages. One thing I wanted to see was Gilmore Girls Year in the Life. I had seen the series in real time when it broadcast initially, so I really wanted to see the “sequel”. I just finished it off yesterday.
I saw Pretty Little Liars and Orphan Black in broadcast, too. (Pretty Little Liars has a spin off airing now which I haven’t gotten into.)
How did you find the Gilmore Girls Year In the Life? I’m not sure I enjoyed it as much as the series….
I watched Gone Girl tonight, that was a really good film!!! Xxx
I don’t even own a TV … or Broadband …
Jane the Virgin, Santa Clarita Diet, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Atypical (you might find this one interesting b/c the main character has autism)
Ooh! Thank you for the recommendations!! Xx
The good place, The Order, Russian Doll
I’ll check them out!!! Thanks for the suggestions! Xxx
You’re welcome 🙂
