Disclosure: I am a member of the Netflix Canada Stream Team and will occasionally receive product and perks. All opinions are my own.
Very early on when Netflix originally came to Canada, I took out a trial membership. Over the years since, I have found that more and more of our family’s TV time was taken up by using Netflix over traditional cable channels. After a while, I found I was the only one using traditional cable at all. I was actually PVRing far more then I was watching and even still was often on Netflix instead.
About a year and a half ago, my wife and I took a look at our cable closely. We decided that in reality, the only thing I would miss if I cut out the cable was sports. Since I rarely ever watched sports any more anyway, it made sense to simply “cut the cord”
The reality is that I quickly realized that I did not lose anything by cutting the cord. In fact, I feel like I gained as I had a chance to check out some shows that I had not previously gotten around to watching.
My kids have not skipped a beat since they already had mostly switched. The kids often are more up-to-date then I am on exactly what new shows are coming for kids. They tend to know what new seasons will be released and they know when.
A few weeks ago, out of nowhere, I received an email offering me a spot on Netflix Canada’s Stream Team. It did not take me long to take up the opportunity as it gave me a chance to share about some shows I truly enjoy.
I am pleased to announce that I will now have the opportunity to share content from Netflix on a regular basis with my readers. I hope you enjoy reading about the shows I love to watch.
Let’s hear about some of your favorite Netflix shows?

September 3, 2017 at 12:46 amI still have cable as my husband love the news and sport and I love survivor and amazing race. I have been a Netflix customer for over 2 years now and love it too. It’s a nice addition to Cable and we watch lots of movies and I love a few series.

September 3, 2017 at 4:14 pmYou’re so lucky! It looks like the Stream Team gets really spoiled by Netflix. We are in a 3 year contract with our cable company or we would have cut the cord a year ago. We are counting down until next June when we can say goodbye to cable. We watch at least 80% of our shows on Netflix now anyway so I can’t imagine we will miss cable and that $80 per month will be much better spent somewhere else.
Jonnie says
September 3, 2017 at 4:16 pmThat’s weird! I didn’t type my comment out twice but it showed up twice, lol!

Elizabeth Matthiesen says
September 10, 2017 at 6:58 pmWe do still have cable but I think it’s because we have a package with the internet and phone all in too. I very, very rarely watch cable these days. I’ve recently finished watching Ozark and Rectify and am now catching up on Bones. There are some good movies on Netflix too.
HEIDI C. says
September 11, 2017 at 1:58 amMy hubby and I mainly watch movies via Netflix as we don’t have much chance to follow ongoing shows. But my kids enjoy a lot of animated shows like Paw Patrol, My Little Pony and Veggie Tales.

Tammi L. says
September 27, 2017 at 12:44 amI wish that Netflix would come out with a guide… either online or on the tv – I don’t care! It would be so nice to be able to just look through and see what there is! Going by pictures takes forever and I often don’t have a clue what I want to look for. Just give me a list… please!
Jenny B says
September 28, 2017 at 3:31 amMy family and I are big fans of Netflix! We’ve been talking about cutting the cord too, since we don’t use it much besides for the occasional sporting event and the news but we haven’t taken the plunge like you guys did! I don’t think I’d miss cable at all since I love so many Netflix shows and movies!
Chris MacDonald says
September 28, 2017 at 8:10 amMy favourite Netflix show is House of Cards
