5 things Netflix newbies need to know

OneNever feel ashamed about the amount of time you spend Netflixing. Yep I said Netflixing. It's a genuine activity that, granted requires very little activity at all, but it's a real thing okay?!

TwoAs with every marathon, preparation is the key. You can't just embark upon a Netflix marathon without the prior planning. Basic essentials include your comfiest indoor clothes - you know those ones that aren't quite pyjamas but you definitely wouldn't wear them outside of the house? Yeah those ones. Have enough snacks to see you through the entire marathon and make sure you stay hydrated. Not too much though, anymore than two toilet breaks per marathon will seriously damage your PB.

ThreeIf you've just started a new series you MUST resist the temptation to do a quick wiki search to find the name of that actress you recognise or scroll through the tumblr hashtags to reblog a GIF of your new OTP. There will be spoilers. You will regret it. Don't. Just don't.

FourIt's okay if you'd rather be Netflixing than at an event or social gathering. Don't feel guilty about your new favourite past time. Embrace it.

FiveThat sense of loss when your favourite Netflix show has ended is completely normal. It's okay to grieve the loss of a world you've emerged yourself in for hours on end. It happens to all of us. You won't be the first and you certainly won't be the last to feel this way. When the time is right you'll move on and your life will soon feel full again. As you begin to move forward on your Netflixing journey. Seek out Netflix recommendations through the Netflix TAG popping up on blogs.
