Dear Netflix

I trust all is well in your world of entertainment :)

I have a few questions. But mainly, what’s up with all the violent movies that you are showing atm?

I am finding it rather an impossible task to find a movie that does not contain an atrocious amount of death, killing, trauma, dystopia, violence, darkness and the general mistreatment of humans. It makes me sad that this is so - right during a time when we so desperately need to remember how loving, compassionate and joyful is the human spirit!

On Saturday afternoon, it was stormy out in London, and after a good solid work week my family and I curled up in the lounge with the intention to find a good movie to watch. Of course, our first choice was Netflix.

And we scrolled, and we scrolled, and we scrolled. We scrolled some more. Half the family became restless, the other half mad. Every single movie that we were served up on your algorithm was dark, adult themed and rated 15 and over. I wasn't quite understanding, to be honest - because these mind melting options were all like “97% match”, “88% match” - for me, who loved “Blue Miracle”, "Jungle Beat" and “Downton Abbey”. Go figure.

Well, almost every single movie… The ones that we would have chosen, we had already watched because there is nothing new coming out in the genre of ‘Happy’.

What is up with that?

There’s another thing - have you altered the age restrictions? We chose a movie with age 12 restriction - well - we flicked that off after 3 minutes. Having been educated and scarred.

We searched for good wholesome movies that were recommendations from friends and family, but none of them were on Netflix. Many of the alternatives that came up in their stead were also along the lines of more violence, dystopia, mental health issues, and global control sagas that seem just far too close to home right now...

I get that you may be attempting to awaken us all to the fact that we are in a controlled world where we are simply pawns generating service and product for our slave masters, but here’s the thing: either we know that, or we don’t. Those who know don’t need reminding, trust me.

And those who don’t know - well - I have no idea what will make them join the dots. Whatever will help them do that, I’m pretty sure that they too can benefit from an escape from reality and a lesson on healthy humanity just as much as those who are awakened prefer to immerse ourselves in joy, celebration, love, happiness and all that good stuff.

Which brings me to the next issue: we are seeming to be bombarded with calamity, drama and nightmare from every angle. The main stream media news is basically just “kill me now” fear and depression packaged in official presentation, emergency response sirens scream at top decibel, and even climate changers are preaching water shortages and population control.

Yeah, like wait, WHAT? How did that happen? Do the biggest names in nature preservation NOT KNOW that our water supply is a closed system, in a gorgeously perfect cycle that keeps it circulating, purifying, migrating, draining and re-raining all the time? The Water Cycle has always been a thing. And there ain’t no water getting out of it. Unless the billionaire space-racers start exporting it to Mars.

On that note, let’s talk about war. How is it ok for a bunch of men (usually men - no offence, its simply leadership statistics) to decide to drop bombs on PEOPLE on the other side of the world, and then those guys build bigger bombs so that they can show bigger teeth to PEOPLE on this side of the world? And how is it ok that these peacocking egos get to send the very best of our men and women to fight their pointless wars? Really - the best of humans, those with good hearts of integrity, a strong instinct for justice and protection, and physically flawless - and these are the human excellence sent to sacrifice themselves based on lies…? And then this violence is duplicated and shared through the world of ‘entertainment’.

It all makes me very mad.

But somehow, you seem to endorse and perpetuate this training of mankind. Instead of giving us viewing that builds confidence - touches our hearts with hope, restores our faith in each other and our own greatness - violence, madness, failure and hatred is paraded through our living rooms and our minds.

While I’m here, I have to vent about all these medicines we are swallowing in handfuls - that are killing us. I would LOVE to see a whole lot more educational entertainment showcasing how GOOD FOOD is our natural medicine, and the swallowing of chemicals (labelled as medicine) is actually making us more sick. Most unfortunately, educational entertainment along these lines don’t seem to make the cut, do they?

After all, good food can heal us. Faith in our human spirit gives us courage to follow our dreams. Following our dreams leads to happiness, and happy people are not afraid.

People who are not afraid cannot be controlled.

I understand that, and so - my final question is this: please would you remind humanity of our beauty, our bravery, creativity and power? Please would you share with us truth and light and innovation and victory.

I really, really want to believe in humanity again. I am tired of our rags being held up to us all the time, because our rags are not who we are.

Thanks for reading.

Sincerely yours…
