In case you were wondering, the answer is yes -- Netflix knows exactly how many times you've watched A Christmas Prince.

On Sunday night, the official Netflix Twitter account shared the following, mind-boggling statistic -- and asked a very pertinent question.

The reactions fell somewhere between amusement and mild, 1984-style paranoia.

Ultimately, though, it seemed that Netflix just wanted to check in on its people.

Best not to overthink these things -- just pop on A Christmas Prince for the 19th time and all those worries will melt away.
