crocodile 8,016 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Some things are in HD, it's fine. I do watch some things casually, renewed my membership when final season Breaking Bad started and never bothered to cancel it. It's just 6 quid.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I have it (streaming), I don't have cable (got rid of it) I've been able to catch up on a lot of different TV shows. All the stuff I do watch (Walking Dead, Mad Men, American Horror Story, etc) are on Netflix anyway. Aside from a delay on when I get to watch it, I'm satisfied.

Wojo 2,453 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 It pisses me off to no end that the most recent season of Doctor Who, from Asylum of Daleks through all of the Tenant and Hurt stuff, is still not on American Netflix yet. But other than that (and no Stargates) it's pretty decent. Sent from my XT1058 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 No Netflix for me. Even though I have my girlfriend's account set up on the PS3, I've never used it. I barely use my Amazon Instant Video as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 That's because you need to own the criterion Blu-ray before you watch anything. It makes sense. Sent from my XT1058 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I do have real world purchases. I just don't rent or own, which is the most taxing one of all. So yes, you could say I'm taking advantage of it while it lasts. I can live without blu-rays, which I don't buy very often anymore. I'd say gaming and music take up more of my income.

Mr. Brown 91 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I have Netflix. It's good for watching TV shows. There are a handful of decent films on there, though.I'd say that you're not missing too much, Sharky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni 306 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I've never had Netflix. I get lots of mileage out of Hulu, though. They've got tons of television material, and they add new stuff all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 It's 6.99 here because of the recent price hike but I still pay 5.99 for the next 2 years. For TV shows Netflix is easily worth that pittance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be watching The Wire as soon as possible so I can be one of "those people" who don't shut up about The Wire.I watched 3 seasons and really didn't care for any more. It's a decent enough show if that's the sort of thing you're into, but when people start preaching that it's the greatest, most perfect TV show ever made, I just wish they'd shut up. It does a lot of things right and avoids cliches, but for the basics of actual entertainment, there are other good shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glóin the Dark 1,222 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 To my ears, Deadwood's dialogue is music. Including the swearing (in which respect I think it beats even The Thick of It).I gather that the writers (or at least David Milch) originally planned to use period swearing, with greater emphasis on religion-based words...
