So much for Netflix and chill?

The online streaming service is prohibiting employees on its shows from looking at each other for longer than five seconds in the new post-Harvey Weinstein, #MeToo movement era, according to a report in the British tabloid The Sun.

Film crews are also forbidden from asking their co-workers for phone numbers, and if workers are feeling harassed, they are encouraged to yell: ‘Stop! Don’t do that again!”

The Sun says one of the first Netflix shows to follow suit is the London-shot sci-fi series Black Mirror.

“Senior staff went to a harassment meeting to learn what is and isn’t appropriate,” an on-set runner for Black Mirror told The Sun.

“Looking at anyone longer than five seconds is considered creepy.

“It has sparked jokes, with people looking at each other, counting to five, then diverting their eyes.”

Prolonged hugs are also discouraged, along with asking people out more than one time, and avoiding anyone who declines a date.
