to think Netflix is a bit shit; at least for kids?

[Objection]

[I say this hypocritically as I'm currently working my way through every episode of Buffy...]

We have run out of kids movies on Netflix. We've seen all of them at least twice and IMO the selection is really quite poor.
Does anyone else think this or am I just really spoilt?

[lazyhound444]

YANBU. It is shit. I would never pay for it. We do the free month trial every so often but most of the movies are ancient or straight to DVD type dreck anyway so it's not worth paying £6 a month for or whatever the actual cost is. We succumbed to the whole "Breaking Bad" hype and watched about 3 eps before getting fed up and I cancelled the subscription before they started charging me.

Love netflix in this house. The kids are never off it. They do tend to watch series more than films and we also have access to the US version

[Objection]

Is the US version better?

[Anonymai]

I love netflix! I do agree there's not much kids stuff though. I wish they had more of the disney films.

[Cigarettesandsmirnoff]

It's shit all round

[kateecass]

Google how to get on US Netflix. We have done it.

[Hadmeathello]

Lots of Disney films on the US version.

[Objection]

Is Love film much better for kids stuff?

[ReluctantCamper]

not really op. things have looked up a bit since they got bought by amazon, but they're not much different

[Financeprincess]

I think Netflix is rubbish, too. My DH insisted on getting it so that he could watch some Netflix-only US TV series. The films see very patchy; not much that you'd want to see or that isn't on telly regularly.

[pumpkinsweetie]

get the US and canadian versions, much better for an extra £3.
My dh did it for me, the canadian one is extra brill for kids films.

YABU - DS can watch Dora without it affecting me...

I love Netflix. We use the UK version on the PS3 and I can access the US version on my laptop as well.

We've just cancelled Love fil because they have changed it to Amazon prime Video thingy. My DS accidentally charged us 3.49 by opting for an HD version of a film. I noticed there's a chrage for lots of films on top of the mobthly subscription so they can bugger off as far as I'm concerned.

I find Netflix brilliant for kids. My two boys love it.

[DaftSkunk]

I think it's pretty good for series like The Killing, The Bridge, e.t.c.

[MissBattleaxe]

*LoveFilm

[bishbashboosh]

Another one here who cancelled livefilm yesterday because they have changed it, it's ridiculous !!! Had Netflix but now have got sky on demand now

[MissBattleaxe]

Yes, I can no longer let the kids just choose something from LoveFilm on their own, so it's going. I bet we're not the only ones leaving, bishbash!

[ReluctantCamper]

You can set up a pin that you have to enter before you incurr extra charges on lovefilm, which I have done. but the new system is insanely confusing, and I'm thinking about bailing too.

[skittycat]

I think Netflix has it's moments... Sometimes it's great sometimes it shite... I'm currently watching the full first series of pokemon... Because I'm that cool.

[MummyBeerest]

Netflix has Thomas, which is pretty well all DD will watch. So it's A-OK by me.

[MrsBungle]

I like netflix for adult series like the bridge and the killing but it is crap for kids - at least film-wise.

[jeee]

Anyone who's had to stand the torture that is 'Horseland' will inevitably agree with you.

However... my children love Netflix.

[bishbashboosh]

On love film I got even more infuriated trying to actually cancel the bloody thing!!!!

[crochetedblanket]

Love film has peppa pig and Ben and holly. Miss that now we've swapped to Netflix!
