I'm back into Netflix. . . for now

I've been on my ex's Netflix account ever since we separated and I moved out 6 years ago. He doesn't care. Netflix announced that they were going to crack down on "sharing" accounts with people who don't live at the same residence but I flew under the radar for a few years. Then I logged into the account at my sister's house on Christmas and that was just 1 step too far so the company was all "you aren't not in this household". Somehow he managed to get me back in which I appreciated. Then a couple of months ago it was the same thing--nope not part of the household. I just basically gave up and figured I'd pony up for my own account if I really missed it that much. That hasn't happened yet. This evening he was here setting up a new smart TV for me. I had to upload the YouTube TV app but Netflix was already installed. Just for you-know-whats and giggles I decided to see if I could get onto it. The Baking Club used to do "Nailed It" competitions so I googled to see where to watch the TV show. . . and it was on Netflix. That's really what made me see if I could get on. I can! (for now) I have his email address (obviously) and password so it just let me log in and get to my profile. We shall see how long this lasts. I know he won't kick me off though Netflix probably will eventually. At least for now I can see how this show works and what the premise of the competition is all about.

I am glad you got your new TV hooked up. I really don't like game shows at all, but I do like cooking shows that are competitive. And Nailed It! is hilariously funny.

So you're under the radar yet again. Good for you. Let's hope it's an age before they realise.

Nailed It got great reviews. It looks fun. I quit Netflix right after they doubled their prices when they put video stores out of business, quite awhile ago. Although, a friend of mine did let me log in to hers for that Christmas game. I’ve not tried to use it since.
