Netflix Will Pay You Real Legal Tender to Watch Netflix All Day

If you’ve always dreamed of being the person who assigned The Vicar of Dibley to “TV Shows Featuring a Strong Female Lead,” today is your day! Sounds like your competition will be pretty stiff, though. According to the Independent:

Current Netflix Taggers include a mum who speaks fluent Hindi and has worked on several procedural crime shows, a French native and former keyboard player in Stereolab now living in New York who tags French-language content and a film director working on his third feature starring Tim Roth who lives in Mexico City and tags Spanish-language content.

Time calls the position a dream job, but frankly it sounds like the fastest possible route to occupation-induced madness. Taggers “deconstruct the films and programmes and describe them using objective tags,” which sounds fun if you envision Orange is the New Black. But I’d rather get a root canal than watch and analyze Turbo, the Dreamworks animated feature about a racing snail. Not to mention all the weird crap that’s basically just Mystery Science Theatre 3000 bait.

However, I’m completely delighted to learn a human hand was involved in shelving Melancholia with the wedding dramas. God bless you, anonymous Netflix tagger who’s dead tired of Bridezillas reruns.
