Honey, what are we watching today?

in the past, everything was not better, just different. the TV , for example. Man made the contraption, and there was something in front of the man and woman were able to continue until it was over. The TV program was at the time, such as weather – determined and unalterable.

The same is not true, since the streaming culture is dragged into the living room, and a television. Since then, there is always and for everyone to see something Great. But this program trickles down not just to the room, no, the whole Content needs to be conquered every night. Often of two rather tired people who are together in front of a mountain range from a series, movie packages or hundreds of valuable documentation. And in the face of this Mega-library, the question is: What should we look today?

New level of Communication

the Netflix subscription Is still new, everything appears exciting and enticing, finally, all of this can make up for what other couples rave about. Unexpectedly soon, a kind of plateau phase occurs, however, no matter how many additional subscriptions you signed, and no matter how many new content will produce the streaming channels every month. The excitement is gone. Has eaten in this land of milk and honey, the first Sight of Hunger is appeased, the important, large series are checked.

it is not watch After that point together, more laborious, to say: a real relationship work. Because the nightly Views, and Some is a sophisticated, new level of Communication among lovers. Especially when you consider that the participant is weakened usually through acquisition or education work, or by the two glasses of wine engaged in the discussion. This also applies if you know your Partner very well.

Clearly, the internally defined intersection of those movies and TV shows that are not up for debate, and limits the selection. And terribly, the idea of having a fresh Partner again until a consensus on Jason-Statham-movies, Italian B-comedies or uniform fantasy series. But even under long facing people with similar taste shoals lurk in the programming. Sure, we have already made sensational discoveries. It's just every night is harder to repeat.

Every evening, fresh goods

The classic " Netflix & Chill"-couples night begins like this: A get hold of the panel and scrolls through the section "new arrivals". Their stock has changed since yesterday. However, and this is the first time is killer, will review all the entries and it gives a cinematic half-knowledge. For the other hand, the task in this first Phase is to call several times: "stop, what is that?" And the question is discussed: "Because of the thing with plays, but you don't like", "is from 1997, does in hurt your eyes," and so on. Particularly unpleasant, the judgments are: "we Have already started to change." Or even: "we Have already seen." This kind of makes clear how much time has been sacrificed to the streaming services already, and that doesn't improve the atmosphere. The pressure to find something really Good, and it is growing.

After the fruitless Views of new entrants to work to a smaller set of controversies. For example, about whether or not you should be one of the approximately 16 paused series record again and, if so, what. Such a series once again to tackle, but feels always kind of matt. It is spoiled from the available Oversupply, you want every evening, fresh goods.

Then, the remote control is left to the other. It follows: the tough search for movie titles that are not available, or actors whose names you don't know exactly. It is the setbacks, the clock is ticking, and it keeps getting the same stupid movies, hanging accumulate ("The Commuter" with Liam Neeson). Everyone has brought to this point in time, your own favorites in the race, switch to the other, the stubborn or Silent blocks. The veto right of the partner is in this stage very cumbersome. But finally, the basic idea was that you do something together. After all, one speaks to each other, which is an advantage of the Netflix-discourses – one has at home now is a small, private feuilleton battle.

A program folder must be

The constant bickering but also shows the basic Problem: The evaluation criteria are missing, the program can Mature and curate discuss. There is so much is produced that you can't cater to all, with information. Also, people who still participate halfway in the pop culture, are at a loss in front of the latest in-house productions, which are all so similar hot as "Osiander & Kyle", "The Renovator" or "The wonderful Talent of the destitute Mr. Gilbert". How is one to know whether behind the chocolates in the pack of the Night hides? The four-line summaries and reviews of the streaming services are a joke. What you should derive from "79 percent Compliance"?

What is missing is a Netflix Program, with clean, reviews, Charts, and star interviews. The publication of the holiday books, list of Barack Obama was, therefore, a globally anticipated event, because there's a nice person and pretended to be a clear direction for literary replenishment. So what would be much more helpful than the IMDB rating, or the strange way that the platforms themselves to divide your content. Who says: "darling, you are in the mood today for something out of the "Lewd Stand-up Comedy" or rather "Moving European series"?" "Oh, no, honey, we'd prefer to be in the area of "rooting visions of the future" Horror." Please, it's useful categories, for example: "Wes Anderson's favorite films for a barren weekend" or "Only funny when you're drunk".

panic is spreading

In the advanced identification process in any case, you stumble over meaningless series and original productions, accusing each other of ignorance. The momentum of the Evening. The time also, a whole movie in it. Now the panic is in the room to have the whole evening with Scrolling and Nag spent. Kamikaze-like conviction attempts to alternate with the desperate Play of trailers or pseudo-cheerful: "Look, we look."

The obvious initial Costs seems to be the only way out, unfortunately it is very time-consuming. On bad nights, you start in this way, four things, which after ten minutes one of two abwinkt, the Smartphone reaches or falls asleep. The latter is, after all, the Signal to the Partner, to be able alone to maneuver. This is much easier, but only makes half as much Fun.
