So many times, the wife will be watching something crummy on TV and I'll be sitting next to her with my laptop, watching Netflix with my headphones. It makes for a less contentious marriage.
BTW, Netflix is not just about movies and TV shows. Tons of documentaries, music concerts and other programming is available and it's all on DEMAND, when you want to watch it and without the commercials.
My experience precisely. Got my wife to watch “The Following” and she got addicted to it. We mega dosed several episodes at a sitting.
Hopefully I’ll get her to try another series, or something. She needs to discover for herself, that Netflix (and other online demand sources) offer all the entertainment content she needs.
I happen to mostly watch British crime material. When/if that runs out I know I’ll find other material, to last me all my days.
