10 refreshingly honest descriptions of your favourite Netflix shows

Ciara Knight

I call bullshit on Netflix description sections.

They’re just not accurate enough. For example, Gilmore Girls is not ‘a heartwarming tale of a mother and daughter’s relationship’, it’s an exposé of the two whiniest people on earth continuously enabling each other until the viewer cracks and microwaves themself to death.

Netflix should hire me to compose their description sections. I’d absolutely nail it. I’ve seen everything and I have no qualms whatsoever in shitting over any movie, documentary or television show.

Here is a sample of my work. Netflix *holds fake phone up to ear* call me!

1. Magic Mike (2012)

2. Home Alone (1990)

3. How I Met Your Mother (2005-2014)

4. Stranger Things (2016)

5. Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)

6. Black Mirror (2011-2016)

7. Homeland (2011-2017)

8. House of Cards (2013-2017)

9. Orange is the New Black

10. The Crown
