If you were planning on binge watching Luke Cage or any of the other amazing shows available on Netflix, you might have some issues today, according to CNN Money. It seems that the streaming service has gone down for a while, and Twitter isn't happy about it.

Around 3 p.m. Eastern Time, Netflix started to notice that there were more than 7,000 tweets worldwide complaining about an outage Saturday afternoon. This was less than perfect timing for the streaming giant as Saturday afternoons can be prime binge watching time for many people, given they probably aren't at work or out on the town.

To add to the frustration, it's the beginning of the month, so Netflix just made a whole new list of movies and shows available for their viewing audience. For example, fans of classics like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Titanic and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, will have to wait to stream. Similarly, the service just launched another original show, Luke Cage, which Marvel fans have been waiting for for nearly a year.

Netflix did hop on Twitter to tell customers that they are working on the issues. So, until then, we will just have to satisfy our need for entertainment with a few of the best Twitter reactions to the outage.

Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon... very soon.
