The Terrible Strategies you and your Partner Use to Pick Movies on Netflix
Deciding what to watch together can be a difficult task. It has torn marriages and families apart. Here are the many ways people have tried overcoming this difficult part of the evening.
Bargaining
This system seems the most fair at first, but it’ll always leave one of the viewers cold. You watch John Wick one night, she watches Finding Dory on Disney+ the next.

Meet in the Middle
