Well, howdy there! Let’s talk about this “Netflix for seniors” thing, ya hear? Now, I ain’t no fancy tech person, but I know a thing or two about watchin’ them picture shows. And let me tell ya, this Netflix thingy, it ain’t got no special deals for us old folks. Ain’t that a shame?
No Senior Discounts, But…
They don’t give us no discounts, not a penny! But, you know what they say, there’s always more than one way to skin a cat. You can share an account with your young’uns or your friends. One account, they say, can have up to five folks on it, and four can watch at the same time. So, if your grandson’s got Netflix, maybe he can let you hop on his account. Just gotta ask nice, ya know.
Talkin’ to the TV
Now, this is somethin’ else. They say you can just talk to the TV to find your shows! Like magic, I tell ya! You just gotta have one of them fancy remotes or voice thingamajigs, and you can just say what you wanna watch. “Hey TV, play me that show with the Queen,” you can say. It’s kinda neat, I guess, if you can figure it out. My grandson tried to show me, but I just ended up yellin’ at the TV.
- Sharing accounts is the way to go if you want to save some money.
- Voice control is fancy, but maybe not for everyone.
What to Watch? Pickin’ Shows for Old Folks
Now, us older folks, we like certain kinds of shows, ya know? Not all that bang-bang, shoot-’em-up stuff. We like things a bit slower, maybe a good story, somethin’ that makes you laugh, or maybe even cry a little. I heard there are lists out there, “Top 10 Shows for Seniors,” they call ’em. They got shows about kings and queens, and comedies, and all sorts of things. My friend Martha, she loves that show about the King who couldn’t talk right. “The King’s Speech,” I think it’s called. She says it’s real good.
For Those in Retirement Homes
And if you’re livin’ in one of them retirement communities, they got special movie lists for you too! “Comedy movies for the elderly,” they say. I guess they figure we need a good laugh now and then. And they’re right! Laughter’s good for the soul, they say. Keeps you young, or at least feelin’ younger.
So, What’s the Bottom Line?
So, this “Netflix for seniors,” it ain’t really a special thing. It’s just regular Netflix, but you gotta be smart about how you use it. Share an account, find the shows you like, and maybe learn to talk to that darn TV. And most importantly, have a good time watchin’ them picture shows. That’s what it’s all about, ain’t it?
No Special Treatment, But Still Good
It ain’t perfect, this Netflix thing. They could give us old folks a discount, that’s for sure. But, it’s still a good way to pass the time, especially when the weather’s bad or you just don’t feel like doin’ much. Just find yourself a comfy chair, grab a cup of coffee, and settle in for a good show. That’s what I do, anyway.
Ask for Help if You Need It
And don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. These young’uns, they know all about this tech stuff. Just ask your grandkids or your neighbor’s kid to set it up for you. They’ll be happy to help, most likely. And if they ain’t, well, then they ain’t worth their salt, that’s what I say.
Just Enjoy the Shows!
So there you have it, my two cents on this “Netflix for seniors.” It ain’t special, but it’s good enough. Just find some good shows, share an account, and enjoy yourself. Life’s too short to worry about all the little details, ya know?
