Update: Netflix is back up! This will not stand if it happens during the great Gilmore binge of Thanksgiving 2016, though. Consider yourselves warned, Netflix HQ.
And we're back! The streaming issues we reported are now resolved.

This is not a drill! If you were planning to catch that Amanda Knox documentary or spend your Saturday binge-watching season 1 of Luke Cage, too bad. Netflix is down. Users are reporting outages in Canada, England, France, Japan, and Chile, as well as the U.S.
Hi all - we are aware of streaming issues and we are working quickly to solve them. We will update you when they are resolved.

Until this is quickly resolved, we need to be entertained. If you aren't subscribing to Amazon Prime or Hulu, perhaps it's time to download the PBS app and get busy streaming Poldark.
Or, you could just read the greatest responses (so far) on Twitter to news of this category-five internet disaster.
Here, we have the modern-day "First!"
@Netflixhelps Have you tried turning it off and on again??

Of course, the real drama is when no Netflix means no Friends.
