5 Video Games That Should Have A Netflix Original Series

At 4:00am after being awakened by my crying 4 month old son, I got him to fall back asleep against my chest and since there was nothing else to do, I started surfing my Facebook feed.

It’s staggering to think about when you break it down like this so you would imagine that with the popularity of the streaming service the content would just be piling up. But the fact of the matter is that over the last 3 years nearly 40 percent of available content has disappeared.
