to be mighty disappointed with Netflix?

[Wordsaremything]

I signed up and was encouraged to indicate which of a selection of films I liked. Answer - none!

Nothing I searched for came up.

Will cancel before month is up I think unless anyone has any brighter ideas?

You watch tv series not films.

It's a waste of money tbh. The only good stuff on Netflix is it's own brand TV series & even then you don't get as much quality as Netflix USA or Amazon Prime UK.

Inclined to agree with andnow. I only watch Tv series. The film selection is rubbish.

No films at all really?
Defiance? A Royal night out? We watched both last night and enjoyed them

Watch tv series then classics like only fools and horses, the Royale family, faulty towers, black adder, gavin & Stacey
New stuff like peep show, bad education

There is SO much on there I think it's hard to sort through the crap. Agree that it's more about series than films though. Just take a punt on something and if you don't like it don't watch the next episode, but you might be surprised

The films are shite, there's a couple of good documentaries though. Netflix is a waste of money I think

We use Netflix daily. My youngest likes the kids shows. Myself and DP like the series box sets and films. We've definitely got our monies worth!

Really? I love Netflix. Stranger Things, Narcos, House of Cards, Breaking Bad... So many amazing original series.

There's the odd decent film and some nice ones for the kids.

I'm currently watching season 2 of iZombie, which is excellent. Also, if you like Marvel, there's Jessica Jones and Luke Cage which were both fantastic and dark.

Agree films aren't great. Loved Brooklyn though.
Peaky Blinders and Wolf Hall great series if you haven't seen them on the bbc.
Stranger Things highly recommended.
I prefer Amazon though.

Watch Breaking Bad and the prequel Better Call Saul. It's worth it for those alone.

They also have Designated Survivor, which I'm loving.

I mainly use it for TV. In the last few months alone I've binge watched House of Cards, Breaking Bad and am currently on Gilmore Girls. Previously watched Jessica Jones, 90210 (although they didn't have the last season) and Gossip Girl.

Films not so great. Documentaries are good though. If Blackfish is on there still I'd definitely recommend it.

Exactly the same as what we've been watching! I love Netflix, watched the White Helmets documentary last week

Netflix is fab for original shows films are a bit meh if it's films you want could try Amazon prime but even then it doesn't have everything without paying extra

Sicario and the big short have recently been added and are highly rated films. Not seen them myself yet but they're on my list to watch.

If I didn't have Netflix or mumsnet I could probably be running the country by now.

Better off using one of the few proxies or VPN's that still work and watching the American library its way better.

There are some great documentaries on there.

I watched Unbranded with my kids last week - it is a 15, but because of the swearing (which is usually justified by the circumstances) - 4 young Texan lads riding (very) recently broken mustangs from the Mexican border to the Canadian border. Totally gripping.

Last Man on the Moon was good too.

Just watched the whole of Offspring (tv series) in one lengthy boxset frenzy.

Stranger Things was fantastic.

There's a lot of crap on Netflix, but plenty of gems too.

Sicario bored the arse off me. I fell asleep watching.

I've found some great stuff on Netflix.

Empire's done quite a good list of the top 50 things to watch on Netflix UK:

I've developed an unhealthy That 70's Show addiction recently... But Orange is the new black is what makes Netflix worth it imho

i agree about most of the films

series are great however

if u like comedy try the ranch

also watch stranger things if u like weird stuff

Each to their own. I love Netflix. Don't watch films on there very often. It's their series you need to watch - Orange is the new black, Kimmy Schmit, Peaky Blinders etc.

Their documentaries are awesome too. Once a month, I get a massive pile of ironing and spend the entire day watching them. Only thing that gets me to do the ironing.

Also, the USA version is definitely better OP. Get hola on your pc.

Ok this is the secret to Netflix.

The more months you are on Netflix, the more it builds up. Every week you have new releases.

I love it. I have managed to have it for almost three years. In the beginning I almost gave up. I now spend most of my evenings on Netflix. I record my tv shows and then catch up on my own time. Which means I don't means things I have on tv too. Virgin media helped because it has the app and channel. I don't use a laptop or any other gadget. I don't think I would have kept up if it was on a gadget.

I used think love films was alright. However, when it changed to Amazon prime, I haven't tried it yet. I don't know what they have so I can't really compare the two with Netflix.

It's nice to chill though.
