#2

Will be dropping in June/July after we have finished streaming a collection of Japanese/Taiwan/Korean TV Dramas.

Was already ticked off about the sneaky extra $1 they added. Plus now we are hearing Netflix is implementing Youtube-type ads in the near future.

Screw them...
We have Firesticks, modified Roku's, and Kodi-like apps loaded that allow FREE viewing.

#3 I dropped Netflix and DirecTV years ago. I refuse to voluntarily put any money in the pockets of people who say I should be in a camp or exterminated. And there's a bunch of them in the "entertainment industry." And no, I am not entertained.

#5 That is something magpie. Not subscribe for 11 months then catch up on everything watchable which couldn't be found somewhere else just at a delayed release.

#7 Interesting; framing I saw was, "Elon Musk kicks Netflix while it is down."

Like Cuties and He's Expecting is his doing.

#8 Snarf snarf snarf snarf.

Apparently the drop is being blamed on everyone sharing log-ins.

Like that hasn't been happening since five minutes into coming on-line, and not stuff like Masters of the Universe: Revelation.

And I'm going to go there. Squid Games was not that great and didn't leave me wanting a Squid Games universe. Don't get me wrong, some moments especially towards the beginning were fantastic The timing and pacing got botched and did character building which paid off in the plot somewhat towards the end, but never really cared about most players or even really the infiltration plot. In short, and just for me, went from Thriller to Soap Opera, and never made its way back to Thriller.
