Netflix is one of the few things we don't have.
Sounds cool, though.
I've been to Italy 40 something times but never south of Naples. Our family is from Sicily and I've never even been close.
My dad was there several times while he was in the army as a medical corps translator in Naples. He was there 3 years, so had plenty of opportunities to see family.
