Netflix helped me survive single life without cable.
The three-movies-at-a-time package for $18.01 a month came in handy when nothing good was on channel 8, the only almost-clear channel I got with rabbit ears.
I watched five straight episodes of HBO's "The Wire" and got completely caught up on "Gray's Anatomy."
But then, I got married and along with a husband, I got DirectTV and DVR. And Netflix wasn't a necessity anymore.
I've had one DVD since May 15, another since May 29 and another since June 18.
I relied on Netflix at least three or four times a week before. What happened?
With like 800 channels, I can never say "nothing is on" and resort to a DVD. I've thought about cutting ties and canceling, but I can't bring myself to do it. We have too much of a past.
Every movie I have ever wanted to see is on there and even the ones that aren't released, I can save so I remember I want to watch them in the first place.
And it knows me. It tells me what movies it thinks I will like and what I will rate them after I see them. And it's pretty accurate.
I don't know, maybe I'm over Netflix, but I just can't break the ties.
Please don't do it. Netflix has been like a friend to me also and I cancelled my Netflix subscription only to realize that what once felt like completeness quickly turned into an aching void in my life. Do you remember "mail time" when you opened your mail box and saw the red glitzy glimmer of excitement wrapped in a beautiful red mailer. Awwww, the excitement and suspense. Keep the dream alive!
