If you're anything like us then you were planning to spend a fair chunk of this weekend getting stuck into the latest Marvel/Netflix collaborative series, Luke Cage. 

But users of the world's biggest streaming service weren't able to watch Luke Cage on Saturday night. They weren't able to watch anything at all, in fact, because Netflix went DOWN at peak binging-with-a-beer time. yeahhh Oh shit indeed. Rumours of the outage began circulating on the internet before Netflix confirmed it on their official Twitter account. https://twitter.com/NetflixUK/status/782330218220494848?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Of course most people responded rationally and with a clear mind about what should happen next.  https://twitter.com/nightwinxg/status/782329285503844352?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/matma/status/782302230942588928 https://twitter.com/seatinmol/status/782312798747500544?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/chad_wago/status/782306384125710336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Marvel__News/status/782307667259772928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Xantores/status/782311598425866240 One guy actually blamed Luke Cage.  Screen Shot 2016-10-01 at 23.33.41 Another decided that the site being down wasn't a good enough excuse to do something productive instead.  https://twitter.com/Soniiblaru/status/782329306856824832?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw One or two did try and look for the positives... https://twitter.com/Cragsi_77/status/782330689677033472 And some didn't appear to be affected at all.  https://twitter.com/BenAdamsonDXB/status/782332792302698496 https://twitter.com/alexd1992/status/782336417154342912 With so many tech wizards working around the clock to make sure people stay glued to their sofas, it inevitably wasn't too long before everything was up and running again, and luckily nobody was forced into doing something reckless like initiating a conversation with relatives. https://twitter.com/NetflixUK/status/782337659939291137 So that was that. Now you can all go back to Luke Cage. It's really bloody good. Catch up with the latest episode of Football Friday Live right here...
