I’ve really enjoyed my first year as part of the Netflix #StreamTeam. I got to bring you great posts about Orange is the New Black, Daredevil and even cartoons of my youth such as the Smurfs. As a member of the Stream Team, we not only get some nice access to various new releases, screenings, parties and events (Daredevil set visit maybe? Hello?

If you’re unfamiliar with the show, it’s loosely based on a true story. Cute blonde regular gal Piper Chapman …
My childhood can be summed up in 11 La’s. As in, “La, la, la, la la la, la, la, la, la, laaaa.” Otherwise known as The Smurfs theme.
