Netflix: Is It Really Any Good? Music Chat

[Legion]

Basically being the go to place to watch most tv and that it seems to be taking over from cinema?

For me I think a lot of their shows drag on and on for too long. Using and example 'The Vanishing At The Cecil Hotel' was a 30 minute story but was 4 hours long over 4 episodes. It was interspersed with talking heads who were suggesting all types of implausibility when in the end there had simply been a small and plausible accident.

If you watch American TV documentaries they're largely sensationalist where as here in the uk we tend to be a bit more to the point and present the evidence. BBC make some great stuff such as storyville, Louis Theroux, Nick Broomfield and Adam Curtis.

Anyway you have to think cinema seems to be a dying pursuit really and the smaller more interesting films seem to be propped up by the blockbusters like Marvel etc.

Can't really go wrong for the price, imo.

The amount of times I used it over the Christmas period itself makes it worth the money..

Binned it a while ago because I rarely used it, even then I spent more time searching than watching. When they come up with a new series that appeals I'll take out a sub and cancel again.

Very happy with it and think it's outstanding value for the cost.

I'd be lost without it, to be honest. Definitely better off subscribing to a few streaming services than paying inflated subscription costs to Sky.

However, Netflix Originals by and large have been god awful.

Still think it is good but cancelling shows that are decent is annoying. But I still have it as my main streaming platform.
