To think Netflix isn't worth it anymore?

I'm thinking of cancelling as I'm not watching anything on it at the moment and am waiting for the latest seasons of Bridgerton, Lincoln Lawyer and Nobody Wants This.
I've got a free trial of Apple TV and am watching the sci-fi on there - currently For all Mankind. Will probably pay for Apple TV from the end of the free trial and drop Netflix.

Loved slow horses too. First time I’ve seen it and binged all four series. So funny.

I think you should cancel things periodically. I only ever get Apple TV free with a phone. Last time I had it was two years ago so they had lots of new seasons of stuff I watched last time around. Now tv for a month. Netflix. Disney. Prime because they deliver lots of stuff!

We no longer have it. I don't miss it at all.

I was thinking the same the other day - still hold a grudge about the Mindhunter cancellation! They used to have loads of original stuff but now its a lot of things that have been on BBC/ITV before. I find Prime is better, even the selection of older films. I don't have Apple as I would then be paying for practically every service going, inc Sky but I do read good reviews about a lot of things on there.

Be interesting what happens to Netflix membership once Stranger Things finishes.

I cancelled it once but my DDs go on there so much watching endless repeats of Friends and Brooklyn 91 or whatever it’s called and they were so bereft, I relented.

Watched Zero Day and Apple Cider Vinegar recently and the new thing Adolescence with Stephen Graham starts today I think, so that’s well worth the rob dog prices.

Apple TV far superior IMHO.

Honestly debating cancelling Netflix along with TV licence. Currently have a free trial with Apple and have Prime anyway.

Kids like CBBC though for factual programmes such as Maddie's do you know and animal documentaries so a bit torn at the moment.

I am finding Netflix a bit boring at the moment. There are less and less movies I watch and getting bored with some series I used to like. My DH is paying for it so I will keep watching randomly but if I was paying I would probably cancel as I just don't find as much to watch as in the past.

I don’t know how anyone finds the time for it! I use bbc I player, itvx and the channel 4 streaming platform. There’s so much on those 3 I have loads waiting to be watched.

Love Netflix. Huge back catalogue. Got us through 18 month lockdown (CEV husband, our then 17 year old and I particularly) so I’m very fond of it.

Your partner sounds just like me.😁

Haha this is what I we do!

Just cancelled my sub. I rarely watch it. They were putting it up by £2 a month so I asked my teenage DCs if they watched it enough to be worth £150 a year. They both said no. So it's gone.
Savings will pay for the water company price hike.....,

They push out ton of shit and 1 or 2 great things. The latter is to make people think it's still worthit

I am looking to return to piratebay type of watching tbh😂
The streaming serbices are getting VERY greedy and to have good choices, you need to pay for more than 2 really. Ads etc. It's just... Not as simple and cheap anymore

I cancelled it three years ago because there wasn't enough new content I wanted to watch. I went back on in December for Squid Game and to watch the rest of The Crown and since then I've found quite a lot of things I want to watch that have been added in the last three years.
I'm learning Norwegian so I'm enjoying watching some series and films in Norwegian and so it's worth it for that.
However, I can see that in 9 months to a year I'll have run out of things I want to watch so I'll cancel it again for a while and go back on at a later date.

Just cancel it if you don't think it's worth it. When I cancelled it the last time I went on Amazon Prime for a while and watched a few things on there but I thought the content on there was worse than Netflix so I cancelled that after a while and then started picking up very cheap DVDs on second hand sites and watched them.

You don't have to stick to the same streaming service and pay for things you don't think are worth it.

So true i found tv in the 80,s when we only had 3 thsn 4 channels so much better!

They need everything to become an international hit so they are making shows which are clickbaity but flavourless, lacking in any kind of identity or authorial voice. A lot of the good stuff is old stuff, made by organisations such as the BBC and Channel 4 back in the days when they were less risk-averse. The film selection is dire.

My problem is that I love old films and old TV shows that streaming services have little interest in showing. My DVD player is on the blip and not many places sell them any more.

My teens love the animations on Netflix, the current obsession is Arcane which looks gorgeous. I can usually find something to watch, just finished The Diplomat which was good (I know I'm way behind there) but I don't watch much on TV so Netflix and iplayer keep me happy.

just subscribe for a month & watch what you want. Cancel & come back in 5 months or whatever & repeat.

Slow Horses, best thing on tv for ages. I binged watched during a free trial, then cancelled.

We pay for it through Sky so it's about £8 per month, I think. If we were still subscribing independently at current prices, I'd be cancelling because, I agree, the quality of shows has dropped dramatically and there is barely anything on there I want to watch any more.

You don't need to pay £17.99 for it, I pay £4.99 for it with ads, but the ads are nothing like as long lasting as ads on commercial TV, I often have whole programmes without a single ad or there's one in a whole film which lasts 15 or 30 seconds, they're really minimal.
I wouldn't pay 17.99 for it but happy to pay a fiver.

I keep netflix going mainly for the japanese anime films, but I've found plenty of other stuff to watch on there.

Ridiculous prices. We didn't pay as much as that, luckily got some discount and avoided Odeon. I was really disappointed with Bridget Jones; I just came out feeling a bit deflated. I found it it a a bit creepily inappropriate at the end as well with the teen boy, and the woman.
