Disclosure: I’m part of the Netflix Canada Stream Team, and I receive products and perks throughout the year. All opinions are my own.
A few weeks ago I received a surprise email, inviting me to apply to become a member of the 2017 Stream Team. I accepted of course, and received a fabulous Welcome to the Canada Stream Team package.
My family are no strangers to Netflix. We’ve been loyal customers since Netflix streaming service arrived in Canada. We recently took the plunge and got rid of our cable TV, as we found we were watching Netflix a lot and very little cable channels. We love that the whole family can have their own profile. My youngest daughter enjoys watching shows like Shopkins, Glitter Force and Mutant Busters. My son who has severe Autism enjoys shows like Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Scaredy Squirrel. Our teenage daughter prefers Pokemon, Lego Nijago and Yu-gi-oh!
We recently took a road-trip to Ontario and had the opportunity to try out a relatively newer feature of Netflix that we had not used before. We downloaded some of the kids current favorite shows onto their tablets. So they could watch them while we were traveling. For the first time since we started doing longer trips for vacation, we got through the whole trip without a sustained, collective “Are we there yet?”. With each of the kids having their own profile and as many downloads as would fit on their tablet. (Netflix limits it to a Maximum of 100 episodes but that is plenty.) The kids allowed us to drive with far fewer distractions then normal and they enjoyed the videos immensely.
My favorite shows are Fuller house, Greys Anatonmy and I am loving the brand new show ATypical. As a parent with a child who has autism, I am extremely happy that Netflix are raising awareness.

November 3, 2017 at 11:40 pmoh my gosh!!! I just heard about that show Atypical. I just saw a tid bit showcasing it but was unsure about the actual show. I am a mommy of a child with autism myself (who loves the selection on Netflix 🙂 ) is Atypical autism related ?

November 8, 2017 at 4:16 pmWe love netflix to an extent. I do wish they would add more shows and change them up. My husband and I just finished watching all the Blacklist seasons and cannot wait for more to be added. Now we are catching up on Quantico as our oldest daughter has gone ahead watching it.

November 8, 2017 at 11:24 pmI am so glad that we have Netflix, no more boring adverts and you can sit down and watch until your heart is content – or until you fall asleep. LOL

November 19, 2017 at 9:31 amWe only have Netflix. We live were cable service isn’t available. We briefly tried satellite, but it’s very expensive and despite the millions of channels, we could never find anything we wanted to watch! I just finished rewatching the first 5 seasons of Buffy. I love that both new and old shows are available.

November 29, 2017 at 10:13 amI didn’t know about the download option – definitely will try this next time we travel! I love Orange is the New Black and Life in Pieces on Netflix. We’ve started watching Riverdale too. My kids love a lot of the shows, particularly Coraline right now. The movies for them are great too – Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one they were recently excited about seeing on there, as well as Moana.
