Broken Girl Media

Spent a few minutes poking around Netflix’s account activity log, and discovered a couple things. First, we didn’t start binge-watching via Netflix until 2013; our first Official Binge would have been back in the ‘90s, when we bought up local VHS copies of Buffy, followed by BSG on DVD in 2004, and (I think) The Tudors via download in the late 2000s.

Anyway, here’s the first ten shows we binged on Netflix, between 2013 and 2015:

  1. Arrested Development S4
  2. Freaks and Geeks
  3. Orange Is The New Black
  4. Skins
  5. The IT Crowd
  6. Doctor Who
  7. The Killing S4
  8. The Catherine Tate Show
  9. House of Cards
  10. Daredevil

The second thing I discovered is that the activity log only tracks the most recent viewing of any given piece of content. Which means that even though you —purely hypothetically, of course— routinely use H.H. Holmes: America’s First Serial Killer as a lullaby to send your grown-up girl off to dreamland, playing it hundreds of times over the course of a couple years, it still only shows up once in the list.

Now you know.
