We don’t do TV. After a long day at work, I ‘ll sink into the couch checking personal emails and what’s on the agenda for the rest of the week… and then I find myself Netflixing.

My wife comes over and we begin an episode of “Honest Rating”, where we judge Netflix’s thoughts on what might be a good match from my viewing history as we scroll through suggestions…

Season 5 episode 6 of The Fosters (spoiler alert), Lena just lost her baby and I’m trying to hold back tears, how did we get here? And why did Lena have to get preeclampsia?

It’s now clear as to why we do not have a TV, and the reason may also explain why our trips to outrageously priced movies have dwindled. Netflix has provided bite-sized unlimited entertainment that we can string together at our convenience in the comfort of our home and on a flexible schedule for the price of a single matinee ticket to a single showing at the movies. We aren’t lazy, we are addicted. The big screen and the surround sound are what keep us coming to the ticket office.
