I love to discover a new favorite show or movie on Netflix but I hate to watch it alone. My sons love to binge watch their favorite cartoons and shows too so I am always trying to recruit them as my watch partners. They always try to give me a hard time initially, however, they are powerless to resist my persuasive techniques for too much time. There are many ways that you can convince your friends and loved ones to join you when you are enjoying Netflix and I am just the person to show you how this is done!
You don’t have to know how to whip up a 5-star meal to watch someone else do it. Follow the recipe below to get the rest of the family onboard for a truly Michelin worthy experience.
Need to convince someone to travel to a galaxy far, far away with you?
Hyperdrive below for a map that will take your kids, spouse or parents from a Padawan to a Jedi Master.
Repeat after me: Cartoons are not just for kids.
If that’s not working for you, let this guide be the trick up your sleeve to getting a loved one to join you on an legendary trip to Trollmarket and beyond.
Believe it or not, the technique that usually works on my husband is the cartoon scenario. He probably loves cartoons even more than our sons do and will immediately join in to watch just about any show that is animated. As far as our sons go, they will watch anything with me as long as I feed them.
Go figure, it doesn’t take much for my guys to binge watch Netflix with me at any given time. These tips of fool-proof rationale are sure to convince even the most stubborn watchers!

We’re lucky, it doesn’t take much convincing on our part. Most of us are most than willing to try something new!
Hahaha I love this. Netflix is so great seriously dont know what we did before it. Also cartoons are great!
Is it bad I just make them sit through it?? I love to stream on Netflix, we always try watching each other shows but it rarely works out with others loving it.
I love when I can get together with family and watch something on Netflix. It does take a little bit of time to decide on something though!
In my house, I put on Netflix to chill after my kiddos go to bed. Often my husband comes in and decides he wants to watch what I am watching anyway!
I’ve gotten my family on board with my Netflix shows. It’s just to convince my hubby that binge-watching is ok
This a really cool! I don’t think I ever ran over this before! And you are definitely right cartoons aren’t just for kids.
Oh my goodness, that is a riot! We don’t have these challenges in our home (yet) (our 5yo and 7yo aren’t allowed to watch TV, and we only stream Netflix after they’re in bed), but I LOVE your decision-tree flowcharts! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I think my husband uses this on me when he wants me to watch some Netflix series. But, I have been dying for him to watch Luther with me and funny enough, this might work. Thanks for sharing. I will tell him that it’s your fault..lol.
We cut out satellite recently and started watching a lot more Netflix. Right now we binge on shows that we didn’t watch when they were on air, for example we are really into The Office right now.
There are a few shows and movies that we like to watch and see on Netflix of what’s new. They are always coming out with so many new shows there are so many I want to watch!
I tend to win and get to watch whatever I want… and if my husband gets bored he’ll pull out the laptop and play a game beside me. It’s entertaining though how often he gets just as sucked into the show as I do! I am a huge fan of cartoons and I am so happy there’s always a huge selection to choose from!
We have a rule that if by the third episode one of us isn’t into the series then they get to skip it. Sometimes forcing people to watch things leads to fights. I know my hubby loves things which I just find boring. I tried them though!
My husband loves cartoons. Most specifically, he loves anime. I have to try to convince him to get away from the TV, lol. On the other hand, I hate it when my husband gets into one of my shows and then isn’t available for a few days to keep watching. I’m too impatient.
We are a Netflix family! We all have our own profile! It is insane how much we watch!
I have never watched this show! We do have Netflix, so I will have to check it out!!
To persuade watching something in Netflix is easy in my family. Now to stop watching something is the hard part. There are so many great movies and series to watch that it is so easy to binge.
We love watching new shows on Netflix so it’s not a problem here. Netflix has so many great shows available.
I love Netflix. My family has had it for years! You have great tips and I will definitely keep them in mind!
Haha, I love this! I watch Chef’s Table – it’s such a great look into the culinary arts and always inspires me to get creative in the kitchen.
My kids and I are always watching chef and cooking shows. I would love to watch this with my whole family. They would love it too!
“Watch this with me and you’ll never have to eat broccoli again.” Too funny! I’ll definitely have to try this the next time I need a movie watching partner. 🙂
Usually we talk about what we’ve watched and share our recommendations. It’s amazing how much we actually like the same shows. I still have a few shows to watch that were recommended to me, but there are just so many.
Haha, this is so cute! I’ve been eyeing Chef’s Table on Netflix for awhile but haven’t actually tuned in. My SO recently got me into Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt!
We love watching Netflix in our home! We have shows we watch as a family and then shows that just my husband and I watch together.
