XIII was an entertaining ride. I'd forgotten I'd seen it, and it's still on Netflix.
What to watch on Netflix
Anybody ever watch Hemlock Grove? It's a bit of a mystery/horror series from a couple years back. It got good reviews. I'm about 4 episodes in and kinda meh about it. Wondering if I should continue?
Watched the first 3 episodes of Altered Carbon. Weird.
ode we binged watched in 2 days. I thought it was good for the most part. Didn't care for one of the twists and didn't like how season 1 ended. The unique thing with the premise of this show, you can replace any of the actors while still keeping the same characters.
Getting ready to dump Netflix. Can’t find much to watch. They don’t add enough new content, 75 per cent unwatchable
Only reason I still maintain a subscription is because my kids enjoy it.
Otherwise I'd dump it in a heartbeat. Outside of "Ozarks" (which I thought was really really good) - I've not watched much on Netflix over the past year that has warranted the monthly fee.
Not to mention how bad our internet connection/streaming time is.
People don't seem to get this, but if everybody goes to streaming and cuts cable - our monthly internet subscriptions are only going to get more and more expensive. More people using the service, during peak times... requiring more download time.
Already dealing with it and I'm not a fan.
there will be no cable tv in 10 years if not before, it's already an outdated technology. Just like home phones, most no longer have them.
Most companies are offering services in which phone, tv etc etc is all done wireless.
home security, thermostats , house doors and locks and even cooking appliances are now controlled wireless from outside the home. I have been somewhat slow to adopt to this but have controlled my Anova Sous Vide from the hockey rink and will be putting in a wireless controlled thermostat.
Kids and Millennials don't watch tv the way us boomers did/do. My kids rarely even watch tv, they watch their phone, Ipad or laptop . Live tv ? what's that they say. Thats what a PVR is for or just watch a show later whenever you want on your phone. Olympics? all streamed via the app to the phone or ipad.
I like using my 60 inch tv over the ipad but rarely ever watch live tv any more outside of sports.
Which ultimately means that your wireless subscription fees are only going to increase, over time, based on demand. And, that we're essentially going to be bound by the downloading times during "peak" traffic, based on the performance levels of internet services we have.
So whatever money we save is going to be marginalized by how long it takes us to watch an hour-long program on streaming, whether it's Netlix or whatever.

YafflDaffl agree, pretty cool get a new sleeve
maybe get some new super hotties for s2
I'm just finishing season 2 of Stranger Things. I actually think I like it slightly better than season 1, but I have two episodes left to watch.
We enjoyed both seasons but definitely felt season 1 was better. It just seemed more of a cohesive storyline wheras season 2 was all over the place. My son called season 2 "Stranger , Stranger Things" and i agree with him. Plus it seemed too much like season one with less of the story told. Nonethless, we like the plot and the characters so looking forward to Season 3.
I just watched the first two episodes of The Mist based on the Stephen King novel. So far I like it. Settling in now to watch a couple more.
"IMPOSTERS" recently hit Netflix. That was a fun ride. Recommended. One of every guy's biggest nightmares. Fun watching the victims not taking it lying down.

Just finished the 1st season of, EVERYTHING SUCKS... If the Stranger Things crew was a little older and went to high school where everything was normal and a couple of them fell in love with lesbians you'd have this show. Some good young actors in this one. Very cute and charming.
