Netflix Just Dragged Fans of ‘A Christmas Prince’ in the Most Hilarious Way Possible

Caroline Pirozzolo

ICYMI, Netflix’s original film A Christmas Prince, is the cheesy, Hallmark-esque Christmas movie we never knew we needed — but according to Netflix, fans of the movie have gotten totally out of hand.

If you’ve never had the pleasure of seeing this so-good-it’s-bad movie, let us catch you up to speed: Amber, a journalist played by Rose McIver, is assigned to cover a press conference held by Prince Richard (Ben Lamb), the future king of a fictional country called Aldovia. When she discovers the press conference has been canceled, she decides to not let her trip to Aldovia become a waste and sneaks into the palace pretending to be a tutor for the younger princess. As you totally saw coming, Amber ends up falling in love with Prince Richard and he proposes to her on New Year’s Eve.

Obviously, we’re all about a holiday-themed cheesy romantic comedy and shamelessly watched (and loved) A Christmas Prince — but some people have apparently watched the movie way more than just once and even Netflix wants to know why.

“To the 53 people who’ve watched A Christmas Prince every day for the past 18 days: Who hurt you?” the company tweeted, seeming seriously concerned — and LOL.

Fans of the movie were quick to clap back at Netflix for calling out their um, interesting binge-watching habits — though Netflix maintains it just wants to make sure everyone is okay. (Because seriously, why would you feel the need to watch this movie twice, much less 53 times?)

Naturally, Netflix users also wanted to know the streaming service’s ~feelings~ about their own viewing habits.

Raise your hand if you feel personally victimized by Netflix, because, same.
