Netflix Addiction

Netflix, the amazing place where you can watch movie and TV shows all you want. That is how the addiction starts. I am currently addicted to the show Once Upon A Time. It is a great show about fairy tales and how they have come to the real world. However the fairy tales aren't just the normal kind they have changed them into a more realistic story ( which is nice). This show has caught my attention and many others to I am excited for this next season that is being made and can't wait to watch it, because it is an addiction.

I wasn't always addicted to Once Upon A Time, I have watched many other shows until there are no more episodes left on Netflix. I recently finished the TV series Charmed (it has eight seasons). Why is the shows on Netflix so addicting? Why am I able to just sit down and zone out and continually watch episode after episode? Those are very good questions, ones I don't think most of us can answer. Maybe it's the good feeling of accomplishing something. Maybe it's feeling like you have some how bettered your life by watching that show. I really don't have the answer, but I do know that if I didn't have Netflix in my life I wouldn't be doing a lot with my life (which is kind of sad if you think about it), but so would a lot of other people.

I hope I do gain something from the TV shows I watch on Netflix. I believe that I do learn lessons that I never would have learned as quickly without it. The great thing about all of it too is that all of the lessons that the characters go through I can apply them to my own life and gain so much from that knowledge. So yes I have an addiction but I think it is better for me than others that I could have at the moment.
