To think Netflix isn't worth it anymore?

Finished it now, couldn't fault it. I may even have to watch it again. Sets, costumes and acting all 1st class. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Ours is bundled in with Sky so is a bit cheaper, we have the one without ads, having it with Sky is a bit more difficult to cancel, you have to ring them up I believe. Though the £10.50 we pay for Netflix pals into insignificant compared to the £30 that we have got to fork out for DH to continue watching cycling after Eurosport disappeared. It's so expensive to watch TV nowadays if you want a good choice as it's all spread thinly over many platforms.

I agree hardly anything new on and the stuff that is just seems to be off other channels that you could watch for free anyway

Wrestling

I like Netflix, I always find something to watch. We have Amazon, Apple, Paramount, Disney etc but Netflix is my favourite and I think it’s well worth the money.

Already cancelled. Now I use a VPN and access cheaper streaming services overseas. Much better offerings too. MEGOGO and Kyivstar TV aren’t too bad from a cost to library perspective.

The thing with Netflix is that a lot of it is old stuff from Sky, Paramount and BBC so if you have the other streamers you would have already watched them, I think half the stuff is just repeats, I sometimes think, oh good a new series of something I have watched then realise it's just a repeat. They also have a habit of not having the licence for all the series so you miss bits. Manifest is an example of this

Toxic town looks too depressing for me - a shame because the cast is wonderful

Currently watching the resident and day zero. Plan to watch toxic town next and considering re watching big bang theory. There's some good films too and stand up. I Think it's much better than prime and apple and better than Disney for new content but Disney's back catalogue is better.

I've been dithering for ages about subscribing but I find a lot to watch on Amazon and YouTube. There's only so many hours to spend watching.

I just started The Leopard. I'm not sure about the story yet, but it's so gorgeous to look at it may not matter.

Just finished 100 years of solitude now watching the leopard. Not giving up on Netflix just yet. Both foreign language and watching with subtitles.

I'm only on season 2 of parenthood so I'll be keeping it for a while yet.

Get behind thee, Satan.

The Whitcher and Stranger Things not worth it!?

Netflix is going through a dry spell I think. The only things I enjoyed on there have either gone or been cancelled. I'm not keen on any of their original content tbh. I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a Netflix original program or film.

I get more out of Disney tbh as I like the old star wars, Die Hard movies, a few romcoms, Modern Family, Family Guy and loved Rivals. I loved Bojack Horseman on Netflix and think that was made by or maybe with Netflix? I also quite liked Kaos but they cancelled that after the first series

Anyway, yes, I cancelled after my husband had finished watching what he wanted of WWE

Editing to add that like the pp, I watch quite a lot of YouTube. I like the anti-consumerism creators on there and a cooking one. I also pay for premium and wouldn't go back to ads.

Same here! Most of my viewing these days is on YouTube, I succumbed to premium and thought like you after the free trial I would go back to ads but absolutely no way now, premium is worth every penny

The offerings are poor on all services in my opinion.

Netflix seems to be geared to a younger audience now (I do love the lack of adverts though). Not sure why all my recommended content is East Asian though, as I never watch anything like that.

Prime has some good content but Ive seen a lot of that. I pay for no adds.

Sky is dire - full of kids shows and braindead Hollywood 'action movies.' You also cant skip adverts even though i pay to skip adverts (you still have to watch the first minute on TV and three minutes on tablet). Awful. I'll be cancelling shortly.

Paramount is very good but Ive watched all their great content.

I think we may be entering the final stages of enshitification when it comes to streaming services.

Always late to the party but just found the Detectorists - absolute gold. Have started watching Black Dove and every Autumn we watch Gilmore Girls.

If they go ahead with the rumoured reality series with the Tate brothers then it will be cancelled

Yes! We realised we hadn’t watched anything on it for months so I cancelled it in the new year. Haven’t missed it once!

Some places only have very expensive Cineworld cinemas, we have and it costs at least £15 to see a film. Cineworld are different prices in different areas. Vue cinemas are much cheaper and cost about £6.99 to see a lot of films

when I say 'signed out' I mean not just logging back in with a saved password but having to re-register the device on a computer with a new code - the whole 9 yard faff which if you don't have a computer or mobile device that you can do this on and are moving regularly is a total waste of time.

I'm thinking of cancelling it because of their stupid changes. If you had a licence for one TV/one user, you used to be able to move between two places and leave it signed it. Now you can't do that even if you are only using one TV at one time. It signs you out and either you have to re-sign in as 'travelling' or do this ridiculous thing that sounds like it's out of the dark ages - which is to start watching something on a mobile device in the first location. Who has the time for all this faff? So I think I'm going to cancel it because IT IS SO ANNOYING. There is zero need for this change.

I'm not kidding btw - this is what their site says and I have contacted them to see if we can deal with this by having two locations stored on the account and they say no - this is the only way. This is what their site says:

Second home or frequent travel to the same location

If you have a second home or travel frequently to the same location, follow these steps:

From the main place you watch Netflix, connect to the internet, open the Netflix app from a mobile device or go to Netflix.com from a computer once a month, and stream a TV show or movie for a few seconds to establish a connection.

Then take the same steps when you arrive at your second location to continue watching Netflix without interruption.

who the actual f**k has the time or inclination to deal with this idiocy?

I agree. I used to pay for it, then my cell phone company offered it for free with my package so I signed up through them, and I haven't even looked at it in a couple months. I'd cancel if it wasn't free

IMO, Apple TV is the best streaming service. So many good shows, no commercials, and only $10/month here.

What is WWE?

I can only assume you don't have brothers or sons
