    Is that a "continue" option which would allow you to skip the ad?
    Yeah, it's basically like YouTube's "Skip this ad" but the only difference is you're paying a premium for this! :mad:

    But is it not the exact same as skipping the end credits to the next episode. Sorry but if there's a skip function I don't see the big deal.

    Those ads have been on it a couple of weeks for me,they are a bit annoying but the continue button is there.

    Big difference is that you can skip them immediately and don't have to wait 5 seconds like YouTube. I really don't see the issue here either

    Another thing is those ads don't pop up mid episode. At least they haven't for me yet. I don't mind them on the transition between episodes or movies.

    It will be just an app on Sky Q that you can sign into
    Ultimate On Demand will be £10 a month for all new and existing customers alongside their Sky Q subscription, and with a 31-day rolling contract available, it’s both flexible and great value. Existing Sky Q customers with Netflix will be able to easily move their account to the new pack or sign in to the Netflix app on Sky Q using their existing Netflix account details.

    From Sky

    Customers with an existing Netflix subscription that migrate their existing Netflix account to their new UOD account will keep their existing Netflix profiles and recommendations and continue to be able to watch Netflix on all their usual Netflix-supported devices.
    The Netflix app will be available on the Sky Q platform and Netflix members can sign in to watch using their existing accounts

    On that topic - are there any good scary films on Netflix currently? Not the biggest fan of most "scary" films these days - tend to prefer more atmospheric films (The Witch, Babadook, The Strangers) rather than jump-scares. But with it being Netflix and the fact I'm not forking out money like I would at the cinema, I'll watch anything that has decent recommendations.

    Edit: It's years since I've seen it and I acknowledge it turned into a bit of generic slasher film the longer it went on, but I loved some of the slow build up from The Strangers.

    ^ The true horror ... is that postcard video format :eek:

    I don't know if its still on netflix or not, but 'you're next' is worth a look.

    Has anyone watched Sisters? Thought it made for pretty entertaining light, mindless watching.

    I quite liked hush on Netflix, good premise well done.
    Gerald's game was really decent I thought.
    It follows I like a lot.

    I watched The Purge recently and it reminded me of The Strangers but not as good! Is The Strangers on Netflix? Years since I’ve seen it too

    Not anymore. Hush is a good Strangers style home invasion movie.
