That’s the critics’ score for Netflix’s new comedy series North of North. It follows a young Inuk mom who moves back to her small hometown after leaving her husband. It’s like Gilmore Girls meets snow meets 9,000 percent more gossip. The trailer looks pretty good.
Netflix wins (for now)
88% of users watch it daily. Here’s why it’s still the top dog.
🌲 Moose on the loose: A Swedish TV station is livestreaming moose as they cross the Ångerman River to warmer spots for summer. Over 30 cameras show peaceful forests and rivers (with night vision, too). Sometimes a moose strolls by. Sometimes … nothing happens for hours. It’s like Netflix for people who breathe essential oils. Watch it here.

Of data was sent over 750 miles using optical fiber. For context, that’s like streaming around 40 Netflix shows in Ultra-HD at the same time. The real twist? Researchers did it completely securely. How? They built a new “IEAC” system that hides the encryption inside the light signal itself. Pretty genius.

How many social impressions Duolingo racked up when it “killed” off its owl mascot. ICYMI, Duo was shown getting hit by a Cybertruck, and fans had to complete language lessons to bring him back. It turned into one of the most successful marketing stunts ever and even outperformed every 2025 Super Bowl ad. Honestly, better storytelling than most Netflix shows.
💻 Microsoft released a mini PC: It’s small. It’s boxy. It streams Windows 11 from the cloud like it’s Netflix, so you can work from anywhere. But heads-up, it’s not for everyone. The “Link” is made for businesses. Priced at $349.99, you’ll need to go through Microsoft or a reseller to get one.
📺 Make your own Netflix? Vimeo just launched a new tool that lets you build your own subscription-based streaming service (no coding required). Because clearly, what the internet needs is one more subscription service. You can offer tiered memberships, stream live events, sell merch and customize the whole thing. They say it’s to give us more control and cash instead of relying on the algorithm, but remember, Vimeo’s still taking their cut.
⏩ Reelly speedy: You can now watch Instagram Reels at 2x speed, like on TikTok and Netflix. Just hold down anywhere on the left edge of your screen or above the heart on the right side while watching a Reel. You’ll zip through it without missing a beat. Bless the algorithm for realizing we’re all too impatient for anything longer than 15 seconds.
Watch Netflix on your TV? You’re now getting access to way more languages for subtitles and dubbing. The TV version used to offer just five to seven options, but it’s been upgraded to show the full list — just like on your phone or browser. So yes, you can finally watch Bridgerton with Spanish dubbing and Korean subtitles if that’s your thing.
Create separate Netflix profiles: Netflix recommends content based on what you watch, so don’t let kids’ cartoons or your partner’s thrillers mess with your rom-com queue. Go to Manage Profiles > Add Profile > Name it > Continue > Save. Bonus: It also makes it easier to keep track of what they’ve been watching.
Not for little eyes: Set maturity ratings on Netflix, so your kiddos don’t watch anything too adult. Open the app, select My Netflix > Menu (three-line icon) > Manage Profiles and pick your kid’s profile. Then, tap Viewing Restrictions > Maturity Rating and enter your password. Set the level you’d like.
🍫 A real-life Willy Wonka show? Yep, Netflix is casting for a new reality competition series inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It’s called The Golden Ticket, and contestants face wild games and temptations in a retro-futuristic dreamscape. The best part? You can apply now. I just got over my addiction to chocolate, marshmallows and nuts. It was a Rocky Road. (I saw you smile!)
Tesla owners doxxed - March 22nd, Hour 1
A website called Dogequest leaked personal info of every Tesla owner in the U.S. If you own one, you’re now a target. Do you pay for Netflix, Hulu or Disney+? Cutting the cord isn’t cheap. Amazon is always listening, and meet your new AI nurse.
Up to $1.3 million annually
Netflix just listed this eye-popping salary for a new remote job. The role? “General Manager of Games,” overseeing business strategy and development for their flagship franchises. One catch: You’ll need at least 10 years of senior leadership experience to get it.
🚫 Kick moochers off your Netflix: Changing the password is one thing, but you can also log everyone out so they’ll have to sign in again.

Found after 7 years: Watch “Unsolved Mysteries” on Netflix? You might remember Abdul Aziz Khan. He went missing from Atlanta after his mom, who didn’t have custody, allegedly kidnapped him. Police found her and her husband, who isn’t Abdul’s dad, in an empty house in Colorado and charged them. Now Abdul is 14 and finally coming home.
Uncanny valley: Hit play on the 1980s sitcom “A Different World” on Netflix, you’ll notice something is … off. The streamer used AI to make the old footage HD quality. The result is nightmare-inducing. Faces look warped, and words or objects in the background are all pixelated. Check out this video to see for yourself. Dumb.
