Crystal George

Crystal George is a Staff Writer for Netflix Life and the Co-Editor for 1428 Elm. She's been a Staff Writer for Netflix Life for three years and just recently became the Co-Editor for 1428 Elm starting in May 2024. Before she joined the FanSided Entertainment Team, she was a graduate student at Full Sail University. She graduated with her Masters in Creative Writing in February 2021. This incredible experience has significantly aided her work by ensuring all her articles are typo-free and well-polished. She enjoys writing about any and everything Netflix and horror. She's often covering new Netflix originals as well as licensed content that comes to Netflix. When it comes to horror, she's your go-to when you want to know what new horror movies and shows are coming out. She's also helpful if you need recommendations on what's good to watch on the various streaming platforms. If it hasn't already been covered, she's covering it. But when she's not covering Netflix titles or anything horror-based, she's having intense discussions about Glee and Killing Eve with anyone who is willing to listen. Those two are her favorite shows of all time, and she's a non-stop chatterbox if they're ever brought up in conversation.
