The Hubs actually picked this show! | #StreamTeam

Like the rest of the nation, our gaggle has jumped on the Fuller House bandwagon.  I mentioned something to the Hubs about the Teen waking up on launch day and watching it while she was doing her makeup, and I was super surprised that he actually said that he was looking forward to watching it as well. It's the kind of continuation type show that you either like or don't like, and we actually like it a lot!  It's most definitely a guilty pleasure for both of us. I hadn't read any of the reviews before watching so that I wouldn't…

How does Netflix Codes work?

It's inevitable.  At least once a week, your Facebook feed has someone "What do you think I should start watching on Netflix?!"  Generally, this means "Give me a series that I can watch that has at least 8 seasons that I don't have to worry about asking again for a while." right?   I'm sure you've seen all the posts going around about Netflix Codes, but have you clicked on them to see what they do?  It's kinda genius, really.  I was hesitant at first, because I thought it was some kind of hack that takes away from the awesomeness…
