The Official Netflix Thread Tho: Recommend Streaming Movies

[shogun]

Virgin River back.

Charmaine is also really attractive. Jack should just ask her and Mel for a throuple / polyamorous arrangement.

Man, I hope someone picks up Berlin Station. I thought they knew they were cancelled and closed all storylines. Nope, left a big *** cliffhanger.

Penny Dreadful or The Affair?

Penny Dreaful with Eva Green is cool.
Didn't care for the recent one.
Never finished the Affair, quit in Season2, and shorty is Bae.

Cancel Netflix and get 2 of the new services for the same price.

No way I could/would do this.
I have about 35 shows on NEFTLIX that are Original Content shows that can only be caught on NETFLIX.
I'm in too deep to Cancel.
Hell even if NETFLIX was $39 per month and I could have 3-4 Other Streamers combined like hulu/disney/prime/HBOmax I'd take NETFLIX.
Every Month there is a NETFLIX Original that is ongoing that I'm invested in.......
When it reaches $99 per month, I will be there watching and complaining, but paying....

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Pricing is kind of all over the map since this format is relatively new. From the consumers perspective I can justify Netflix for $20/mo. We might be a bit spoiled with newer streaming services undercutting pricing. Not mad at Netflix, we know they’ve been operating at a loss for years, and we all benefitted from it. I can toss a few more dollars at them now.

 

[Mark Antony]

Yeah I've cancelled Netflix multiple times before but now recently I get much more use out of it than in prior years.

While I agree that at least once a month Netflix will give you some sort of original content to be invested in I can't say my loyalties go that deep.

Alot of their stuff is quick to be found on the streaming sites etc (not saying it's ideal but the content is out there because of the mass consumption). To some extent the same can be said for anything though.


HBOmax is really running at full stream in alot of areas Netflix isn't. It's way too early for me to abandon Netflix but if HBO is able to keep firing at a rate this good it's inevitable that a decision will be made.

Overall props to the networks for figuring out a way to get consumers back. It might be over for cable but we are probably closest to the 'a la carte' tv that we were crying for 10 years ago. Unfortunately it's getting back to cable pricing in totality but it feels like less clutter in some respects.




I still haven't really figured out my sports option and I'm hoping one of my subs eventually figures out a way to get that rolled in at close to what I'm spending now.

Honestly I never looked at it like that. In terms of value for entertainment and quality, we the consumers have been robbing netflix for a long time.
I'm sure they profit off our data tho so

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Oh yeah, the backdoor dealings definitely keep them in the black, didn’t consider that.

I’m really curious how long Disney+ at $6.99/mo is sustainable. Especially with the money they’re spending on The Mandalorian.

 

[picasso swerve]

Watching The Stranger now. Its not bad, decent watch. Cant help but think shorty looks like Lil Mama though so whenever shes on screen Lip Gloss just plays in my head.

Announced alongside the trailer, The Expanse Season 5 hits Amazon Prime Video on Dec. 16. The first three episodes of the show will release on Dec. 16, while subsequent episodes will air on Wednesdays until Feb. 3.

Was so looking forward to binging The Expanse on 12/16. Nope trash Amazon is releasing it weekly.
I guess this is going to be their new format. If I didn't use prime for the free shipping I'd cancel. I'd rather pay more on Netflix with the price hike, than pay for Amazon. First The Boys, then they cancel Utopia, now The Expanse will release weekly.

 

[shogun]

Wow. Was wondering when The Expanse would be back. SMH at making us wait week to week. We get 2 day shipping but gotta wait 7 days for an episode? Eff outta here.

 

[Master Zik]

Its the last season too right? 6th season is the last.

 

[barrebaby]

Its the last season too right?

The Expanse? No this is season 5, season 6 will be the final season. Runours going around they might add a 7th season, but it doesn't look good.

 

[diabolicaldeezy]

I was late to The Expanse party

but caught up last month..

Really dope show.

 

[Nouss]

Prime is one thing I'll never get rid of so I'll eventually get back to The Expanse and The Man in The Castle.

Both were just ok the first time around.

 

[Mark Antony]

As much as I dig sci-fi I just haven't been able to get into the story of the Expanse.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Same here. I probably watched into at least midway through the second season, but something about it just never hooked me. Pretty sure I tried to watch it again after Amazon brought it back too. I be feeling super left out.

 

[Bruce Banner]

Whoever has prime should check out “ ZeroZeroZero “ I watched it a few months back and I’d say it’s better then narcos !

 

[Mark Antony]

Don't know about Narcos, but def gives it a run for the money. Probably better than Narcos Mexico.

 

[Magic33]

I wouldn't say it was better than Narcos, because one storyline wasn't even that good. The gringos whole storyline could have been cut.

 

[Bruce Banner]

Yea I definitely meant narcos Mexico . I just like the fact that they took the Zetas storyline and actually showed the other side of law enforcement.

 

[edshoecator]

Zero zero zero and Narcos are same genre but way different shows.

visually zero zero zero> narcos

story wise (though it’s real life and wrote itself)

narcos> zzz

both a watch though

 

[NASA 2.0]

Cant help but LMAO at queens of gambit having a young David Spade. Lol

 

[NASA 2.0]

Binged Vikings.. Now on season 5..

 

[casper90403]

Yeah, ZeroZeroZero was better than season 2 of Narcos Mexico.

Loved both and agree they were different in their own ways. Are we expecting a season 2 of ZeroZeroZero?
