Re: Should I Get Rid of Netflix
Probably. We turn it back on for British Bake-Off and The Crown (though it sucked last year), and turn it off for the rest of the year.

Re: Should I Get Rid of Netflix
Don't know how you expected me not to pick the Bowie option. Did you see Moonage Daydream?
Anyway, I keep the Netflixes because it's still relatively cheap on a per hour basis compared to many other entertainments. They still roll out a good series now and then. YMMV.

Re: Should I Get Rid of Netflix
We have Prime with AMC+, Showtime, Epix and Curiosity Tv.
HBOMax, ESPN+, Apple TV, Peacock, ad free Hulu, YouTube tv for live sports.
We spend about as much as we use to in the days of cable, but I much prefer the current streaming environment in spite of the complexity.
I like Netflix’s catalog. I think they’ve made some good shows. Love bojack, I still watch it sometimes.
I’m giving gift a shot, and I’m excited to watch Season 2 of Barbarians. Netflix often has something I like.
I don’t try to maximize my streaming service utility by turning off and on the service, either I trust a service to make shows that I like or I don’t.

Re: Should I Get Rid of Netflix
I cancelled my Netflix about two months ago. I'd subscribed without interruption for years - and that started as merely a continuation from my earlier subscription to LoveFilm, where they used to send DVDs or Blu-ray discs in the mail!
I wasn't watching it much. I kept it going till Better Call Saul finished.
Television is losing its appeal to me. It seems to be ever-evolving to becoming more dumbed-down and irritating - though this is perhaps just a symptom of my increasingly chronic curmudgeonliness.

Re: Should I Get Rid of Netflix
This is a good nudge. I have like a dozen streaming subs and use almost none of them.

There are sooooo many streaming services.
Someone implement this:
A single subscription site where you have access to X hours a month of every streaming service.
Like you Pay $50 a month to have 10 hours viewing of Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Amazon, etc...
Or $100 a month for 20 hours of each.
Get on it

Re: Should I Get Rid of Netflix
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

It should only be a small matter of programming.

Agreed, shouldn't need more than a GUI using a visual basic script

Re: Should I Get Rid of Netflix
I was watching The Crown but I lost interest when they got to the Diana era. And the Great British Baking Show has gone downhill, I don't watch it anymore.
I think I'll drop it.

The Mrs continues to find all sorts of rather oddball flicks there.

Hasn't it though? I didn't know a season of it could be this weird. Maybe they're pandering to/trolling Americans or something. We'll finish this one out but this may be the last one.

I never really took to the new hosts. Mel and Sue were the best! And I miss Mary Berry!

I don't mind Noel. Matt Lucas is fairly awful.

Freaking amazing. See it in a cinema if you can.
