Hidden Gems of Netflix's Watch Instantly

I thought here might be a better spot than "tech question thread"

My Netflix (Canada) normally has 4 profiles (one for each of us), but a few days ago a 5th profile showed up... "Kids"

Everyone swears "it wasn't me." Anyone else get this?

(I already changed the PW, and forced all devices to log out.)

It's an automatic addition; we've got that one as well, in Netflix US, a year or two ago

Kids is an automatic profile on Netflix (at least in the US) that offers a different interface for more kid-friendly selection of shows. It filters out all content with an age rating over 12 and lets viewers pick shows by character in addition to picking by show or season. It's pretty handy with my little ones, especially on the iPad.

I'm pretty sure you can delete the profile if you login to the Netflix website.

It's not a new addition for Canadian users either, I've had a "Kids" profile on my account for well over year.

Weird that it only "just" appeared...

We range from 13 to, ummm "older" so pretty unnecessary for us

Not too worried about the Son_of_a_Gun... he can watch (almost) whatever, and his "whatever" is mostly SpongeBob or The IT Crowd.

Never automatically showed up for me, but once the ability to have kids selections showed up I created profiles for my niece and nephew that were Kids Only. Now my niece's is limited to Teen selections.

It's actually really cool they permit that level of customization.

I just realized we're now going to have people whose online handles are legacy, handed down by their father. That's really weird, especially a few generations down the line.

Or bnpederperson, for your gender nonconforming child.

I'm going to have a daughter in October, I wonder what we'd call her here... WipEout Fusion?

Maybe now you see the genius in my handle - easy inheritability!

Not "e. boogloo"?

Thought you might've been referencing e. coli or something.

Narcos Season 2 comes out on the 2nd, which means you're in perfect position to start season 1 like I just did tonight.

Still watching Season 1 of Narcos and am astonished about how much high school level Spanish I retained over the past 18 years to the point where I'm calling BS on what the subtitles are saying versus what I'm hearing the characters say.

"Yo quiero Taco Bell?"
Call the Consulate. We're going to war!

So less bombastic and smaller scale Edge of Tomorrow kind of deal. I'll give it a whirl. Robbie Amell has been pretty terrible in everything I've seen him in so far but who knows. He could improve.

He looks and sounds like a Discount Tom Cruise in that trailer.

And she seems like a Discount Nicole Kidman.

Looking forward to their discount high profile divorce.

Blame discount Scientology?

I wonder what discount Scientology would be. Raelism maybe?
