Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Nick Kroll and John Mulaney are the stars of an animated show that premiered on Netflix in 2017, which explores sexuality and the coming of age struggles of Nick and Andrew. Which of the following titles, a reference to a certain body part of Nick (both the actor and character), is the name of that show?

Answer: Big Mouth

"Big Mouth" was first released by Netflix in September 2017. The show is about two boys, Nick and Andrew, who are going through puberty and experiencing the many changes that come with this awkward transition. Two of the protagonists, Maurice and Connie, are "hormone monsters" who constantly appear around the teenagers in a comical yet strangely relatable way. They encapsulate the crazy blend of emotional turmoil that many of us go through at that age, including shame and anger at the world.

Nick and Andrew are both based on real-life people: Nick Kroll (the co-creator and star of the show, who voices many other characters) and writer and producer Andrew Goldberg, also a co-creator of "Big Mouth".
2. Perhaps one of the most popular Netflix original series premiered in 2013, though it was an American adaptation of both a British book and a series. This political drama featured Frank and Claire Underwood planning their rise to power within the U.S. political system. Which show starred Kevin Spacey for the first five seasons, and ended in 2018 after one more season without the actor?

Answer: House of Cards

"House of Cards" told the story of South Carolina congressman Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) and his wife, Claire Underwood (Robin Wright). Both Underwoods become President of the United States during the show: Frank in seasons three, four, and five, and Claire at the end of season five.

The show's main characters use alliances and tricks (such as blackmail) to clear the path for their rise to power. The critically-acclaimed series, based on an eponymous novel by British writer Michael Dobbs, starred Kevin Spacey for its first five seasons but cut ties with him when sexual misconduct accusations against the actor came to light.

His character was written off and the show had only one more season after Spacey's departure.
3. A successful Netflix original series that premiered in 2013 told the story of Piper Chapman (played by Taylor Schilling), a woman who went to federal prison after transporting money from the United States to a drug lord. Which of the following colors completes the name of this show, "_________ Is the New Black"?

Answer: Orange

"Orange Is the New Black" is based on a book written by Piper Kerman, who spent more than a year in jail for charges of money laundering and drug trafficking. As she details in her book, Kerman fell in love with a heroin dealer who was involved with an African drug dealer. In the Netflix series, the character of Piper Chapman is caught flying with a suitcase full of drug-connected money and named years later as part of the drug ring. The series revolves around the woman's life and experiences in a minimum-security prison, including her time in solitary confinement and up to her release from prison in the last season.

The show and its cast has been nominated for numerous accolades, including the Emmys, the Golden Globes, and the Screen Actors Guild awards.
4. Will Arnett starred in a popular Netflix series that ran from 2014 to 2020 about a celebrity past his peak, now struggling with issues like addiction and depression. BoJack wasn't just a regular celebrity, he was also part-animal! What is the last name of Arnett's character that completes the show's name, "BoJack _______"?

Answer: Horseman

Though the trailer initially released by Netflix pointed to "BoJack Horseman" being a funny cartoon, the show turned out to have a much deeper meaning for many viewers. The series was about the eponymous character who was the star of "Horsin' Around", a TV show from the 1990s that was wildly successful. The Netflix show focuses on BoJack's life after fame, with him living in a fancy house in Hollywood (later renamed Hollywoo because the last letter is stolen from the famous sign) struggling with depression. The animated sitcom, created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, also features other anthropomorphic characters like Mr. Peanutbutter, a dog who also enjoys celebrity status. "BoJack Horseman" was interpreted by critics as a poignant criticism of how the entertainment industry causes long-term harm to those who become involved in it.

In addition to Will Arnett, "BoJack Horseman" also starred Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, Paul F. Tompkins, and Aaron Paul as voice actors, and lasted for six seasons.
5. "Stranger Things" was released by Netflix in 2016 and has since gained a huge fanbase around the world. The show is set in the town of Hawkins, Indiana, and narrates how the town is affected by supernatural events derived from scientific experiments, including an alternate dimension dubbed "the Upside Down". Which of the following "Stranger Things" characters, played by Winona Ryder, is the mother of Will and Jonathan in the series?

Answer: Joyce Byers

"Stranger Things" incorporates elements of science-fiction and horror in narrating the story of Hawkins, a fictional town in Indiana, and the supernatural events that occur there. Set in the 1980's, the show tells the story of a town that stars seeing odd things happening after experiments performed in a nearby lab go wrong. Among the supernatural elements are a portal to an alternate dimension that the boys call "the Upside Down" and a girl with telekinetic abilities (Jane Hopper or Eleven, played by Millie Bobby Brown).

The show also stars Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, a divorced mother of two who becomes romantically involved with police chief Jim Hopper.
6. The historical drama "The Crown" premiered on Netflix in 2016, telling the story of the controversial British royal family. Which of the following monarchs, played by Claire Foy and Olivia Colman in different seasons, is the main character of this show?

Answer: Queen Elizabeth II

"The Crown" follows the life of Queen Elizabeth II as ruler of the United Kingdom through the various stages of her reign. The first season centers around the early years of Elizabeth II in power, and shows scenes like her wedding with Prince Philip. From there, the seasons continue to portray the events that have shaped the Queen's life.

"The Crown" was created by Peter Morgan, the screenwriter who collaborated in projects like "Frost/Nixon" and "Rush". The cast changed after two seasons in order to realistically show the aging of the character. Claire Foy and Olivia Colman played the Queen in seasons 1-2 and 3-4, respectively, and Matt Smith and Tobias Menzies starred as Prince Philip. The series has won multiple awards, including a Golden Globe for Best Television Series in the Drama category.
7. This next show wasn't a Netflix original series when it began, but when Fox dropped it after its third season, Netflix took it upon itself to rescue it. Which of these words completes the title of a popular show starring actors like Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett, and Jeffrey Tambor, "___________ Development"?

Answer: Arrested

"Arrested Development" first premiered on Fox in 2003. The first three seasons ran on that network, but it was canceled in 2006. Creator Mitchell Hurwitz hadn't planned to produce more seasons, but a fourth season started being filmed in 2012, bringing back the show on Netflix. Jason Bateman stars as Michael Bluth, the oldest of the Bluth children and the heir to the real estate development company Bluth Company.

His father, George Bluth Sr. (played by Jeffrey Tambor), is arrested and imprisoned in the first episode for alleged financial crimes.
8. Selena Gomez was part of the production team of a highly controversial Netflix series that premiered in 2017. The show told the story of Clay Jensen and his friend Hannah Baker, who commits suicide and leaves tapes behind explaining why she took her own life. Which number, associated with the concept of a "baker's dozen", describes the number of reasons/tapes that give the show its name, "___ Reasons Why"?

Answer: 13

"13 Reasons Why" stars Dylan Minnette as Clay Jensen, a high school student whose friend Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford) commits suicide. The show features several flashbacks throughout the 13 episodes of the first seasons, which also show a variety of other stories connected to Hannah's own storyline. In addition to addressing the difficult issue of suicide, the show also looks at many other problems that teenagers may face, including drug abuse, sexual assault, peer pressure, mental health, and relationships.

The series received harsh reviews by some who thought the graphic depictions of self-harm could encourage and romanticize suicide rather than help prevent it. The show's producers and Netflix insisted that the objective was not to romanticize the concept, but rather to raise awareness about this issue. Netflix did include advisories at the beginning of the last episodes of season 1, warning the audience of the graphic and sensitive content.
9. A book by Caroline Kepnes inspired a series that premiered on Lifetime in 2018 and then became a Netflix original after the second season. Penn Badgley convincingly plays stalker Joe Goldberg, who falls in love in a rather unhealthy way with Guinevere Beck (season 1) and Love Quinn (season 2) to the point of kidnapping them! Which of these words is the name of that show?

Answer: You

The psychological thriller "You" gained enormous popularity when Netflix started streaming the series internationally. The show, developed by noted producers Greg Berlanti and Sera Gamble, is based on the eponymous book by Caroline Kepnes, a novel that narrates the story of Joe Goldberg and Guinivere Beck. In the book (and the series), Goldberg falls in love with Beck when she walks into the bookstore where he works. At first, it looks like a normal, healthy relationship with potential for success, but Joe's darker side is slowly revealed with his jealousy and questionable actions like following Beck everywhere she goes. The first season ends with Joe locking up Beck in the basement of the bookstore.

The second season features Joe moving to a new city and finding a new girl to stalk: Love Quinn. Joe gets involved in her and her family's life but again lapses quickly into his obsessiveness. The twist here was that Love ends up killing Candace, Joe's former girlfriend, showing an unexpected dark side from her too!
10. Steve Carell reunited with "The Office" producer Greg Daniels to parody a branch of the United States Armed Forces. This Netflix original is about General Mark Naird and his efforts to lead his branch and occasionally mocks many aspects of American politics. Which of these is the name of this show, which first aired in 2020?

Answer: Space Force

"Space Force" is a comedy series released by Netflix on May 2020. The show follows General Mark Naird (Steve Carell), who is assigned as Chief of Space Operations of the newly-created U.S. Space Force (which in real life was created in 2019 by the Trump administration). Also starring John Malkovich as Dr. Adrian Mallory, the program satirizes the daily life of this novel branch of the government charged with exploring space and reaching the moon. General Naird's character is similar to Carell's Michael Scott in "The Office" in his irreverence, which makes for a fun show to watch! "Space Force" was renewed for a second season in late 2020.
