After the whole Valentines Day craziness is over, the only thing you know you are falling in love with is your bed, pizza, and a whole lot of Netflix. Whether you are approaching the final season of your favorite show, or starting to fall in love with a whole new one...you are somewhere on the Netflix binge watching cycle. So while you may not be into to hearts, pink, and couples everywhere, here are the 11 stages of Netflix binging you can look forward to...
1. You Hear About this great show on Netflix
Everyone is raving about how awesome this show is, and you can’t help but be a little curious of what it entails. It can’t be that great can it? No harm in trying it out. So you sit down, and play the first episode. Lets see what all that fuss is about.
2. You start understanding the character’s personalities
A few episodes in and you already know that the ex-girlfriend is no good, the male lead has killer looks, and the star of the show has way too many problems in life. But seriously, can someone kill that ex-girlfriend?
3. You start to enjoy hearing the theme song
Every time you hear the theme song, you can’t help but get excited for another episode.
You also already have it memorized, so singing along is the best part.4. You start to finish seasons quickly, and that scares you!
The show has 10 seasons, and you started three days ago, being on season six is acceptable right?
5. You procrastinate on work
The 10-page report you have to write can totally wait until later for your all night panic attack and the pressure of getting it done before your 8:30 class. This way you can watch a whole new season now!
6. You cancel weekend plans just so you can stay in and watch more
As if procrastinating during the week wasn't enough… you call your friends with your fake voice and say, “I swear I’m sick!” *cough, cough*. No, but really, you just need to finish this last season. Parties kinda suck anyway.
7. You start following twitter accounts, cast interviews, and all things involving your show
I mean, the show is just the beginning! You have to keep up with the behind the scene bloopers, and why and how the cast was chosen. Plus you’re dying to know about the off-stage chemistry between your favorite onscreen couple.
8. You watch the series finale and cry
It takes you a good hour before your body can move again. You are in an extreme state of shock and disbelieve that it is over. A part of you dies a little inside. This can't be it… there has to be more!9. You go online again to reconcile with others
All of a sudden you are on an utter rampage of trying to figure out what that ending was. Did they really mean to end it this way? Was there an alternative ending in the works? Is there a secret message behind the last sentence of the show? Do the power couple end up together in real life? You need to know!
10. You go into after show blues
11. You start the cycle all over again
No, at first there is no way you can find a better show to binge. But, you do remember hearing something good about that one show... so you figure you’d watch a couple episodes. You can always stop if you don't like it right? Right...
