Alright, alright, listen up! You kids always fiddlin’ with that Netflix thingy, never knowin’ what to watch. Drives me nuts! So, lemme tell ya, it ain’t that hard. You gotta figure out what tickles your fancy, ya know? Like, do you want some shootin’ and hollerin’, or some lovey-dovey stuff makes you cry like a baby? I seen enough shows in my day to know a thing or two, even if I can’t work that fancy contraption myself.
So, What Kind of Show You Lookin’ For Anyway? This ain’t rocket science, folks. You gotta ask yourself some questions. Do you like them cowboys and Indians? Netflix got plenty of them. Or maybe you want some fancy folks in big dresses? They got that too. Heck, they even got shows about monsters and aliens! Can you believe that? Aliens!
- You like action? You know, guns blazin’, cars crashin’, stuff blowin’ up? Then look for them superhero shows or them cop shows. They always got somethin’ happenin’.
- You like a good cry? Then them love stories is for you. Or maybe them family dramas where everyone’s yellin’ at each other. Plenty of tears in them, I tell ya.
- You wanna laugh? Well, who doesn’t? Look for them funny shows, the ones with the silly people doin’ silly things. Sometimes they ain’t even that funny, but you laugh anyway ’cause everyone else is.
- You like spooky stuff? You know, ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night? Netflix got a whole bunch of horror shows, but be warned, they ain’t for the faint of heart. I watched one once and couldn’t sleep for a week!
What if you still can’t decide? Well, that’s when things get tricky. You could always ask your friends, see what they’re watchin’. Or you could just pick somethin’ random. Sometimes that’s the best way, you know? You might find somethin’ you never thought you’d like. Like that show about the cookin’ competition. I thought it’d be borin’, but I ended up watchin’ the whole dang season!
Now, some folks say there’s this thing called “Netflix Roulette.” Sounds fancy, huh? Basically, it picks a show for you, just like that! I don’t know how it works, but it sounds like a good idea if you’re really stuck. But be careful, you might end up watchin’ somethin’ real weird. Like that time my grandson got stuck watchin’ a show about people makin’ pottery. Pottery! Can you believe it?
And sometimes, those shows just disappear. Poof! Gone! Like they never existed. They say it’s somethin’ about licenses and agreements and whatnot. Sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me. If a show’s good, it should stay put, right? But what do I know? I just watch ’em, I don’t make ’em.
So, let’s get down to brass tacks. Here’s what I’d do if I was you. First, I’d think about what kind of mood I’m in. Then, I’d look through the Netflix categories, see what catches my eye. And if I still can’t decide, I’d ask someone for help or just take a leap of faith and pick somethin’ random. It ain’t the end of the world if you don’t like it, you can always pick somethin’ else. That’s what my granddaughter tells me, anyway.
And don’t be afraid to try new things! You might surprise yourself. I never thought I’d like them space shows, but I watched one the other day and it was pretty good. Had all sorts of shootin’ and explosions and them aliens again. So you see? Even an old lady like me can find somethin’ to enjoy on Netflix. And if all else fails, go back to the classics. There’s a reason they call them classics, after all. They are like a good pair of shoes: comfortable and reliable. You always know what you’re gonna get.
Now, go on and find yourself a show! And don’t come cryin’ to me if you don’t like it. You’re a big boy/girl, you can figure it out. Just remember what I told ya: think about what you like, ask for help if you need it, and don’t be afraid to try new things. And for goodness sake, don’t spend all day lookin’! There’s work to be done! Go on, shoo! Find somethin’ to watch and be done with it!
But if you really, really can’t decide, just watch that show with the pretty horses. Everyone likes horses. Or that one with the nice lady who bakes all them cakes. Makes ya hungry just lookin’ at ‘em. See? I’m helpin’ ya out even now. You just gotta find your niche in that Netflix ocean.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go water my plants before they shrivel up and die. You young folks with your fancy shows…sometimes I think you forget about the simple things in life.
