It’s very easy to spiral down the rabbit hole of a Netflix binge.
One second, you’re drowsily turning on the computer for a few moments, and then the next, your eyes are glued to the screen at 4am and you’re on the 6th episode of Nip/Tuck. Popcorn is nosily crunching out the corners of your mouth. Your legs are tingling because you haven’t moved in six hours. Your vision begins to fade in and out as you try to turn it off.
But, oh no, autoplay is on. It doesn’t even ask for your consent. It simply keeps rolling and before you even know what’s happening, the binge keeps going. Another hour, and you black out surrounded doritos crumbs and shame.
You wake up the next morning bleary-eyed and wondering what happened. The remnants of last night linger. Cheeto prints litter the walls and a lamp shade is askew.
You scratch your head and wonder what happened. You can’t even remember what you watched. It’s all a flickering blur right now. You, my friend, are suffering from a Netflix hangover.
