One of my favorite things to do with my boyfriend on a cozy night in is to snuggle up and binge watch episodes of the latest show we are watching together on Netflix. From watching some of the funniest series like Parks And Recreation and The Office, there is nothing we love more than laughing together through each episode.
It might seem like watching a Netflix series with your boo might be easy at first, but this step by step process on getting through a series together might actually seem more like an emotional rollercoaster!
1. The most serious and stressful decision to make...picking a show.
This is easily the most stressful part of watching a show with your S.O. Deciding on a show might be hard because you both want to watch something you'll enjoy. Some couples have the same sense of humor and taste in shows, making the decision easier, for others not so much. This step could take days (at least for my boyfriend and I it does!).
2. The decision has been made...time to get through the first season
Watching the first season of any show can easily make or break whether the show you chose is going to be one you want to actually continue watching. If you and your boo thang aren't feeling the first season, it's time to start back up at stage 1 and keep searching for that perfect series!
3. You survived the first season and became immediately OBSESSED
Alrighty, the first season must have been pretty good! At this point, you already know who your favorite characters are, sing along to the theme song every time you watch together, and look forward more and more to each episode.
4. Facing the wrath from one another after watching an episode ahead...sorry babe!
I may or may not have watched a few episodes ahead of my S.O in our new show...I can't help it! At this point, your S.O DEFINITELY gets annoyed if you watch an episode, or 6, ahead of them. I'm sure you almost instantly feel their wrath after you've owned up to what you've done.
5. When bae says something rude about your favorite character...
By now you have become way too emotionally attached to your favorite character. You and your Bae may or may not constantly argue over which character is better, but you'll always know who the best of the best is.
6. You've both accepted that you are in a little too deep emotionally
Yup, your new favorite characters mean more to you than you could have ever really imagined. We are getting in a little too deep at this point...
7. The thought of this show ending is becoming more and more real, and it's scary!
Our thoughts and emotions are starting to run rapid! What happens at the end of the series? What's going to happen with ___ and ___? What show am I supposed to watch next?! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO??
8. The day we have been dreading is finally here... the season finale
You've come so far! Rest in the sweetest peace to our emotions, and our S.O's t-shirts that we have drenched in our tears.
9. You've already started watched behind the scenes videos on YouTube together
You can't just move on and forget this show had more of an impact on your life than it actually did so fast! One thing my boyfriend and I love to do after we finish a show is watch behind the scenes bloopers of each season so it gives us more of an excuse to continue watching. We all can't move on that quickly!
10. It's time to start the process allllll over again!
Through the emotional roller coaster that is watching a series on Netflix with your S.O, once your emotions have calmed down from ending your previous series, there is nothing more exciting than to start the process and fall in love with a new show all over again!
