    Netflix subscribers: “I just like to watch shows.”

    Gosh, if only there were another service, or another way to do that. Shucks.

    I saved up a bunch of shows and waited all year to binge in one month over the summer and cancel.

        I love your recommendation. Unfortunately I am very out of the loop with that sort of thing these days. And I’m without resources if I accidentally break something. I need my desktop for work as well. I’d be happy to read up on the topic if you could suggest some reputable sources that someone without a tech background could break down. It’s why I save it all up until summer. So I pay them as little as possible.

      sub for a month with a prepaid gift card (so no potential issues cancelling). binge for a week, run out of stuff to watch, the rest of the sub goes unused and wasted. been down that road once every year or two here.

    I didn’t watch the sewage pipe much but I kept up my subscription for the next seasons of Corn and Asparagus, but when they raised the price I had to finally cancel.

      Are you living in 2015? Nah, I’m kidding, if it gives you enough, then fine. I just canceled right after the pandemic.

      It isn’t a bad value if you watch it regularly.

      They do cycle in good movies, but they aren’t always up front and noticeable. Every service has a massive amount of trash and crappy interfaces for discovering stuff.

      My wife is in your boat. I’ve tried to convince her many times to cancel but she refuses.

      Netflix isn’t terrible. The Titan sub doc was good. Black Mirror, Love/Death/Robots. They have some good shows

      If you like their content. For me, it’s like one in 50 items are worth watching, if that. Sorting through the duds costs time and ain’t nobody got time fo dat as far as I am concerned.
