I know for a fact you stay up until late binge-watching anything and everything on Netflix. Apart from turning into a panda with insane eye bags, there are a few more things your favorite Netflix show is inflicting on you. Unless you are the one who’s already inflicted. So, to test that out, here are five favorite Netflix shows worldwide, and if you love them too, there are traits you have but won’t admit to yourself.
Stranger Things: You Peaked in Nostalgia
You claim that you “just love the story,” but we know that, despite not having been born yet, you still wish to live in the 1980s. You most likely have a Target fake vintage T-shirt that you refer to as retro. Neon signs, monsters that resemble poorly done origami projects, and children riding bikes are all things you adore. You know deep down that you wouldn’t make it through Hawkins. The neighbour who vanishes before the opening credits would be you. Keep telling people that you’ll outlive Barb, though.
The Crown: You Love Royal Drama (But Pretend It’s Educational)
You say it’s “historical.” Lies. You’re here for royal gossip without buying a tabloid. You clutch your mug of tea and gasp at scandals you literally already saw on Twitter. Your family dinners are boring, so you live vicariously through palace meltdowns. And yes, you’ve practiced the queen wave in your bathroom mirror. Admit it. You want someone to bow when you walk into Target.
Squid Game: You Think You’d Win (You Wouldn’t)
You boast that it is a scathing indictment of capitalism. In the meantime, you’re secretly ranking which of your friends you would betray in the marble game. The truth is that you would trip in Red Light, Green Light before the eerie doll even blinked. Your instincts for survival are like those of a broken Roomba. But, okay. Continue to assure people that you will advance to the final round.
Bridgerton: You Want Drama in Fancy Costumes
You claim you’re “just here for the romance.” No. You’re here for scandal, orchestras playing pop songs, and attractive people smoldering at each other across crowded ballrooms. You fantasize about handwritten letters and candlelit dances, but would last three hours in Regency England before begging for Wi-Fi and deodorant. You’d hate corsets, but you’d post a thirst trap in one immediately. And, don’t even lie about not sharing that thirst-trap with one of your crushes in the royal family.
Love Is Blind: You’re Here for Human Train Wrecks
You’re not looking for love. You want absolute chaos. As if it were a hostage negotiation, you wait for awkward proposals, sobbing in the pods, and someone saying, “I do.” “I’d never do that,” you yell at the screen, but you would be pod-hopping right away if Netflix called. You think bad choices make for great TV, but you don’t think love is blind. In this case, which is a good indication that you haven’t lost your rationality altogether.
Final Words – No, I don’t think your personality traits are weird in any way. Is it chaotic? Yes. Will you second-guess your life after watching these shows in a period of one night? Also, yes.
But, what do you think? Does this pointing out feel like I have dug into your life somehow? Let us know. For more content, stay tuned. As usual, like, subscribe, and share our articles as we here are trying to build a community of people High on Cinema!
