They all know people will pay over the odds for it for varying reasons including being able to tell their neighbours they have Sky

It is not over the odds if people are willing to pay it. A good business model will price their product at as expensive a rate as possible until a further increase in price results in a reduction of profit. Netflix obviously feel there is still scope here for further increases without a drop in profit. looking at their stock price over the years it would seem the markets agree.
If a material amount of people cancelled their subs as a result of a price increase then they would be less inclined to increase them again in future but as I said they are ridiculously cheap when compared with other forms of entertainment.

Like if you only watched an hour of TV every day them=n the per hour cost of netflix is for pennies.

Pardon my complete ignorance here but are Irish prices going up? It's just I didn't get any notification about it yet?

johnny_ultimate · 02-06-2019 04:47PM

There is a Dublin Oldschool delay apparently, for those curious. Oh, and I would recommend it whenever it does eventually go up - ‘tis a fine little film, and not just because it’s Irish

Spider-Man: Homecoming drops tomorrow that will do for the Bank Holiday Monday hangover cure.

Watched Rim of the World this evening, was not good but kind of entertaining and had a few laughs

Bunny Colvin · 02-06-2019 07:11PM

Has anyone watched any episodes of Killer Ratings yet? If so, what's the verdict?

Choochtown · 02-06-2019 07:16PM

Just finished watching "Undercover"

Magnificent

Anyone who thinks Netflix is expensive is from a generation that never bought a newspaper, a magazine, or paid £5 (plus inevitable £3 late fee) to rent a movie from Xtravision.

I took my family to the cinema today to see The Secret Life of Pets 2. The tickets alone cost €36.

The Netflix monthly is peanuts for the variety of stuff they offer a household.

Just watched Dirty John there. Very overrated - dunno what the fuss was about. Can't fathom why it was worthy of a documentary? All I was thinking was why were those women so gullible ? Watching Stewart Lee now...not my cuppa either
Off to bed . !

Totally agree. I heard someone complaining about the price of it the other day, same fella would go out every weekend and easily drop a hundred euro on a night out. But Netflix is a waste of money...

The TV show and documentary are pretty awful, but the podcast was genuinely good I thought.

A lot of cinemas have deals going throughout the week, there's usually ways to keep ticket costs down; for instance being on Three has a 2 for €10 deal Sun-Thurs (and with the wife also on three, it amounts to X2 a week). I get the impression the other carriers have similar deals.

Obviously depends on whether the local cinema has any offers, and t&c of them etc. but cinema attendance is down and seems like offers are out there for cheaper tickets to keep customers coming through the door.

But where does it end with the consistent increases? People have a right to complain if they feel it's no longer value for money.

It's probably a topic for another thread.

Id agree with this bit in bold.

It went up €2 p/m last time and if it follows the UK and goes up €2 again, that's an additional €48 a year. It quickly adds up.

If they keep bumping the monthly, I'd agree. For me compared to what we've paid for "entertainment" in the past it remains cheap. I don't begrudge them the increase as they've clearly spent huge money on new content. With five in my house, it's value. With less, YMMV.

Interesting to contrast this with Amazon Prime. I pay that monthly just for the shopping benefits. I've never watched a single thing on their channel.

Only on the 2nd episode myself but brilliant so far.

"The 12th Man" is a great new one, in German and Norwegian with subtitles, about a true story of a Norwegian resistance fighter being hunted by the Germans during WW2. Lots of twists and turns.

Marje · 03-06-2019 12:55AM

The Guilty - it's very good. Worth a watch.

A police officer assigned alarm dispatch duty enters a race against time when he answers an emergency call from a kidnapped woman.

Have this on the list. The documentary is called Central Park Five and its well worth a watch. Think it might be on the IMDB Top 250.

Watched 'It Comes at Night' last night.

The feel good hit of the summer! It was decent. Some very tense scenes. Good attention to detail. Lack lustre ending.
