Oh to be young, back when the world was simple.

When you've got 2 kids that go to bed between half an hour and an hour before you and every other night you can use it for watching a movie or a tv show, how much of that time do you want to spend cruising 5 streaming platforms to pick a movie? That's easily a half hour wasted.

Instead, as we alternate putting kids to bed, the awake parent could be screening movies and match from the previous day review. Meaning we could spend our time actually WATCHING said movie.

We can talk when the kids are awake, but we cannot flip through the Netflix catalog at the same time. Either kids are watching the TV or we don't want them watching the TV, in either case you can't use the TV.

Edit:

Go one step further and allow a spouse to preselect from movies and TV currently being watched they would watch for tonight and I will pay for a subscription!
