Netflix here we go again.

What do you like so much about Netflix? I only have it at the moment as I wanted to watch All Quiet on the Western Front but I’m not seeing much different from the last time I subbed for a month.

I go to the cinema pretty often so there’s nothing on there in the way of movies that would make me subscribe long term. Will watch Drive to Survive but I think that’s passed its peak.

I really only watch fictional TV. Its why I don't need a TV licence. Some of the recent stuff Ive liked or loved.


Arcane
Shadow and bone
Dragon prince
Last kingdom
Sandman
Troll hunters (arcadia series)
Castlevania
Trese
She-ra princess of power
Star trek (all the old series)
Sabrina
Wednesday
Stranger things
Snow piercer
Lost in space
Witcher (and its spin offs, especially the animation )
Locke and key
DOTA

Travellers

Queens gambit - one of those rare non fiction series! :D


There are probably a lot more. Some of those were OK. A lot were good. And a few were exceptional.


When I trialed D+ all I really liked was wandavision, and a couple of the star wars series, mandalorian being my favourite. But I had a 6 months trial and only lasted 4 months before I went back to Netflix.

It appears we have extremely similar tastes in TV/movies ...

Arcane was just immense.

You should give The Expanse a go.
 
My subs are getting a bit silly. My current list is:

Prime (worth it for the delivery though)
Netflix
Discovery+
DAZN
ITV X premium

Works out about £50 a month, and there’s a TV licence and full sky sub with BT sport on top of that.

Watching TV is one expensive hobby these days

"The story itself is fictional and drawn from the 1983 coming-of-age novel of the same name by Walter Tevis, who died in August of 1984. Put plainly, Beth Harmon is not a real chess prodigy."

The best taste! :D

I tried to watch the expanse. I tried to enjoy it. But it made my head spin. I'm a visual person so with so many characters and hopping through time (ie same character, different actor) and subs.. Couldn't take it in.

Other series like this include

-dark: subs plus complex story was too much for me, 1899 was much easier to follow.

- witcher: although I watched it, because it seemed deliberately obtuse in not helping viewers who didn't know the story it made it a hard watch. I mean they didn't even put "location name" when they went between places.

know people spend that amount on a night out.

On the other hand, newspapers are stupidly expensive. Our local rag, Leicester Mercury is £1.40 per day and published Mon-Sat. Some of the headlines were online a few days before!

I'm actually surprised newspapers are still in business.

I haven't bought one in three decades.

Do you think DAZN is worth it? Trying to talk myself into spending £100 to watch the fight tonight and AJs too.
