Just finished episode 3 of You don’t know Me.

Don’t like the Netflix films, think the acting is on a par with Fair City, but this is a BBC offering so streets ahead

did not expect to like it, but I’m addicted.. love when you turn something on as a filler and then you get lucky.

Don’t want to watch episode 4 as then it will be over.

acting unreal in it from all cast especially the main characters. Well deserved BAFTA nomination.

Good be an interesting thriller coming July 8; been a few Spanish language (I think?) production popping up in trailers lately, I'm guessing Netflix have ramped up productions and money in that area. Looks like a boilerplate Base Under Siege, stretched out into a series.

A little bit behind finally getting around to watching this.

Massively over the top with some scenes that obviously are not at all possible but I was thoroughly engaged for the full 3 hours , and it didn't feel anything like that runtime. Good story, good character development, good minor twists, pretty good CGI, really nice landscapes and visuals and a satisfying ending....Hollywood could certainly learn a few lessons from this.

Netflix has confirmed that it plans to introduce adverts at a new, lower-priced tier.

The streaming giant has previously been adamant that it would not bring adverts into its service, but a range of factors have caused it to reconsider. In the first three months of this year, the company lost 200,000 subscribers, its first net loss of paid customers, and that sudden dip has sparked a wave of rapid adjustments and rethinks, with projects cancelled and a renewed rhetoric on trying to crack down on password sharing between customers.

There’s a wider problem, though – read our full analysis here – as Netflix attempts to fend off competition from a growing number of rivals, many of which are taking away its previously licensed third party titles. With the streamer therefore investing heavily in its own original content that can remain exclusive, and with costs going up due to a range of factors, it has upped its monthly fees to the point where many are clearly looking to cancel and save their bank balance – especially at a time when the cost of living crisis is hitting household budgets hard.

Now, Netflix is looking for a way to keep people subscribed by doing what it previously ruled out: a new ad-supported subscription tariff, that will carry a lower price tag.

Co-CEO Ted Sarandos announced the news at the Cannes Lions advertising conference: “We’ve left a big customer segment off the table, which is people who say: ‘Hey, Netflix is too expensive for me and I don’t mind advertising,’” he said. “We [are] adding an ad tier; we’re not adding ads to Netflix as you know it today. We’re adding an ad tier for folks who say, ‘Hey, I want a lower price and I’ll watch ads.’”

Netflix has been in talks at Cannes Lions with advertising companies, with the Wall Street Journal reporting that NBCUniversal and Google are frontrunners for likely partners.

The move comes as Disney+ plans to launch its own ad-supported tier in the USA later this year, before rolling it out in 2023.
