We were going to stop after the first episode... Then didn't...

Jenn took a chance with a random Netflix show and made Wes watch it too.

What they found was a surprisingly entertaining show that they couldn't put down with music that ear wormed its way into their brains and refused to leave.

Seriously, go watch Centaurworld.
