Summer is here and ‘tis the season to Netflix and chill – I’m talking chill literally, like with the A/C cranked up!
Do you ever feel like the TV isn’t your own? In my house the kids monopolise both TVs. Netflix is used to play non-stop Moana and Wild Kratts. By the time bedtime comes around I never think to watch something grown up. But there is so much great adult content on Netflix – I think its time to regain control of my telly!
