We’ve based our sleep detection system on a popular method called actigraphy. An accelerometer detects when you’ve stopped moving for a prolonged period of time and triggers a signal to your TV that pauses Netflix. When it detects that you’ve dozed off, an LED light in the cuff of the sock flashes red, warning that the pause signal is about to be sent to your TV. Any motion will stop it from firing.

The accelerometer is very sensitive to little movements, so it’s good at detecting when you’re just sitting still, raptly watching Netflix, and when you’ve actually fallen asleep. However, there are ways to increase your socks’ accuracy. More on this later.

Biggest problem is Grey's Anatomy running out of steam, and still going on forever. The first season was good. Will be interesting too see what they come up with for Netflix.

Atypical (Netflix)

Anyone watching this?



It's a good mix of drama and humor. And my special ed teacher wife approves of it.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Please watch this trailer for Netflix's upcoming series American Vandal, which I thought for sure was a parody at first

It is. It's got known actors in it. It's total satire.

MIndhunter

1st episode was so-so as i wasn't really sold on the main character. Episode 3 really picked up and as of now i am loving this show. Right in the proverbial wheelhouse.

Mindhunter is one of the best TV shows I've ever seen, for sure.

Netflix has been releasing a ton of original movies I want to watch lately. The Babysitter (really enjoyed this), Gerald's Game, Wheelman, 1922. I gotta get on these. And I still gotta get through What Happened to Monday? and (begrudgingly) The Meyerowitz Stories.

Yea, definitely curious to hear your thoughts on Geralds Game.
