The laughs keep coming.
At different times, I’ve sat and watched non-US TV series (South Korean mini-series are 4-star), and some oddball European movies. Their chief problem....lot of garbage documentary pieces, and contracts that were way over the norm pay-scale.
Well they keep raising their prices. Other streaming services cost a lot less. Now they don’t want people sharing passwords.
Maybe they shouldn’t have hired the obamas. That was a huge waste of money.
The launch of CNN+ has been a disaster. And there was news yesterday that Jon Stewart’s new show on Apple TV is a bust too. Good news!
Netflix flat doesn’t have enough content that I want to watch. They were pioneers in streaming, but now there are much better and cheaper options. My kids have an account and they rarely log on when they are at my house. I could watch on that account, but there is nothing I want to watch. HBO is another overpriced streaming platform, in my world.
So subscribers will have ad content too? Yeah, that will really help.
Streaming device and watch lots of free content, or pay per streaming service and choose what you want. I haven’t had cable in years. I just have high quality internet. I pay about $15 additional per month to watch all I want.
I have also seen ads on SHO I believe about a new series about.... Michelle Obama. OMG who is going to watch that?
Yes indeed. But I could do without the pontificating for some of the hosts (Alicia Malone excepted!) on the older movies and issues with them.
I haven’t had cable-TV in a decade.
Google cordcutting.
Not only is there more media on OTA and streaming, you’ll actually be saving money.
I have over 60 free over the air channels in my area, which includes the major channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CW).
There are literally hundreds of streaming services today. Many of them are free (because they are ad supported). Hook a Roku box to your TV and have at it.
Netflix makes no sense to the common traditional subscriber, IMO. I’ve see the same movie from India SEPARATELY hosted and issued on NF in several languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, etc.). It’s like their new targets are expatriates from India here in CONUS. Also the same thing with Turkish, Egyptian and other flavored original language movies.
I guess it makes sense to them with over 150 million of them now here since our Bicentennial... But it doesn’t make sense for me to keep paying $ 12.99/month of one new movie (made in my own language) each month, if that.
So, Cuties, paying the Obamas $50 million, and putting the current shadow president Susan Rice on the board didn’t help the company’s bottom line?
Need to coin “The Musk Effect”.
So he had a few hours heads up on this announcement and tweeted to be relevant to the discussion.
There was a very good Netflix series called El Dragon. Also Casa De Papel. I signed up with Netflix. Watched these two series and left after one month. I looked around on Netflix and couldn’t find anything else worth watching.
With Pandemic on the way out... Viewers are bailing on Netflix. Plus Netflix has about 7 streaming competitors these days. That all started up during the Plandemic/Pandemic when people were stuck at home. Hahhahha....Stuck with their children too, who needed TV/Netflix distractions. Hopefully these kids are now playing outdoors and going to school.
My wife watches the K-dramas....I’ve watched a few. They’re not bad. I stopped watching the US-made garbage years ago.
Same here. Lots of excellent Korean content on Netflix. The plots are better. The acting is superb. Just about everything is better than US-made content. Currently watching K-2 drama series.
