Netflix Comes to the Rescue
With the cancellation of school, sports, and work, we are all basically forced to stay home and prevent going out as much for our safety and others. Time with friends is limited and people’s favorite places are closing. Of course, we still have the amazing world of technology to allow us to communicate with each other and stay in contact; but many would say that is still not enough. Actually being with friends and being around them physically will be immensely missed but is for the best. Although some people say “YOLO”, You Only Live Once, and just go out and hang with friends, that possibility is not the same for people with strict and worried parents. One amazing thing I found while scrolling through TikTok one night was the ability to watch a movie with friends without actually being with them. I was incredibly shocked and could not wait to try this out with my friends. Little did I know how difficult it would be to get it set up first, especially for someone not as techy as others, aka me.
I tried out this amazing hack just a couple nights ago with a good friend of mine. Since I had never watched Space Jam, we decided to watch that first. The quality of the hack was incredible and allowed everyone watching to chat on the side during the movie just like having a regular conversation in real life. Because we thought texting during a movie was too much of a hassle, the next night, we decided to just call and talk during the movie so that way it would be easier to communicate without drawing attention away from the movie screen. The possibilities for this amazing tool are so mind blowing and endless. Instead of watching a movie, one could also watch a series with friends and talk about it while watching as well. I know many friends who watch the same series but are always at different points of the season than the other. This tool can help people watch together and stay on track with each other, rather than trying not to spoil it for the other.
Not only could this be a helpful tool, but this could also form new friendships. Making new friends in real life is hard enough and could even be harder trying to make new friends by inviting them to watch a movie through an online screen. In addition to all that, if one had a long distance relationship, this could potentially be a great fix for their movie date nights. In all reality, we can all pretty much say that almost everyone is in a long distance relationship right now with friends, spouses, and family members because of the COVID-19 spread. So this could potentially be a quick fix in “interacting” with people without leaving your home or the safety of your bed. So if you really like the idea of this, go ahead and search up “Netflix Chrome Extension” and then download it, choose a movie, share the link, and enjoy! I promise this is not a waste of time.

Good article I liked what you were talking about with the stuff you were talking about like going online and watching the movie with people who are far away.

I’ve never knew that Netflix had such thing. I know there are other apps that you can get that are similar to the extension. I watch a lot of things on Netflix like Grey’s Anatomy and Supernatural. Trying to get my friends into those series are somewhat difficult because they don’t have Netflix. Because I have separate parents, this is going to make hanging out with friends a lot easier. Amazing article.

Nice article Bella! I enjoyed reading your article about Netflix. I have been watching a lot of Netflix during this pandemic. I have been watching All American and other shows or movies that I haven’t watched in awhile. Keep up the great writing!
C.J. Burrous • Apr 19, 2020 at 8:28 pm
Good article Bella. I would definitely like to try this out, but I would probably watch a TV show rather than a movie. I’m glad that it worked well for you and I hope it goes well for me too. Good article!
Aleya Mygrant • Apr 17, 2020 at 6:56 pm
I love this story Bella! As I am writing this comment, Netflix is on in my living room. I truly love the app and am pleased to hear that it has more to offer than what I knew. I love that you explained what the extension is in great detail. I have heard of this, but I have not tried it. After reading your article, I will absolutely be trying it in the next few days. Keep up the great writing!
Jack Salyers • Apr 16, 2020 at 12:05 pm
Great Article Bella. I really enjoyed reading this article about your Netflix and a new app you’ve been using. During this break of school I have been using Netflix more than ever with watching new TV shows and classic movies. Keep up the wonderful writing.
Clara Licklider • Apr 16, 2020 at 9:56 am
Fantastic article Bella! I definitely have wanted to try the Netflix extension, and now I want to even more after you reviewed it. I don’t think I would be able to talk to someone during a movie, but texting would be fine. Keep up the good work and attitude during these tough times:)

Netflix has truly been a lifesaver these last couple of months. Normally, I just scrape the surface of what Netflix has to offer, but I now am venturing deeper in the archives. I really enjoyed this article. Stay safe Bella!
Cayl Garland • Apr 16, 2020 at 9:21 am
Great article Bella! I also have been trying to find new shows to watch and been watching about anything that looks remotely okay. I’m glad you are making the best of this situation. Keep up the good work.
Jack Miller • Apr 16, 2020 at 8:56 am
Great article Bella. Netflix seemed to have stepped up their game because of this pandemic. Although I have spent more time on Hulu. It is good to make the best of it. Keep up the great writing.
Katelyn Schreckenghaust • Apr 16, 2020 at 8:23 am
This sounds like a great idea to spend some time with friends virtually while we’re all stuck at home. I have been watching a lot of Netflix, so I’m definitely going to have to try this out sometime. Great article Bella!
McKayla Thompson • Apr 13, 2020 at 9:35 pm
Great article Bella! I have been spending a lot of time of Netflix recently! We should try this together sometime! I’m glad you are making the best of the situation going on around us! Keep up the great work.
cana jones • Apr 13, 2020 at 12:46 am
This is a great story Bella! I am constantly watching Netflix now that my life is on pause. I would most likely die of boredom with out having shows and movies to watch. This is a great alternative to actually being with friends due to safety reasons. I may have to try out this hack in the future! Keep up the great work!
Caleb Johnson • Apr 6, 2020 at 6:21 pm
Nice story Bella! I personally have utilized this option on Netflix and can agree it is a great experience. I think it allows friends and family to spend time together while actually being apart. Doing it from “the safety of your bed” definitely peaked my interests. Great story, and keep up the great work!
