Email in from Netflix, another price increase. That’s me gone (looking for alternative source). I’m on the 4 screen package and at 18€ it’s just becoming too expensive especially seeing as their content is getting so bad IMO.

Shocking price

You can get netflix cheaper if you use a vpn to buy from another country, see the Bargain Alerts thread

€18 for unlimited TV shows and movies on 4 devices is unbelievable value for a month. 60c a day.

Especially if all 4 devices are used regularly. If not, there's cheaper packages available.

Any changes to their most basic package?

Is there a similar thread for Now TV recommendations? Tried searching but could only find an Amazon Prime thread.

There was a general streaming thread for a while but it didn't see much action.

It's a shame the 4k is only available on the most expensive package. I have absolutely no need for 4 screens but would like access to the 4k content if it's there. Disney doesn't charge extra for that, not sure about Amazon.

S.M.B. · 23-01-2021 01:33PM

Right now I possibly pay less for Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, NowTV entertainment and Starz per month compared to what I often spent on a single DVD ~20 years ago. And with an ever growing watch list made up of titles on all platforms, I certainly won't be complaining about value for money any time soon.

I'm not happy Netflix keeps raising its price but it's also the service I use the most. Plus we don't have any actual TV package ala Sky - which I've found quickly hits insane pricing if you add the various "optional"packages.

AndyBoBandy · 23-01-2021 02:03PM

Is Long Shot any good?

I like Seth Rogan, and Charlize Theron is very easy on the eye........

As rom coms go it's very good. Pretty funny in places and really good chemistry between the two leads imo.

It's a tiny bit longer than it needs to be, and there's some maybe unnecessarily crude humour, but all in all it's a decent watch. I watched it only a week or so ago and it's genuinely very funny and enjoyable.

Nigzcurran · 23-01-2021 03:03PM

I’d gladly pay €10 a month for one screen in 4K

Didn't they just get out of debt? They also have to contend with all the other services now and losing a few of their programmes. But IDK where I read this, I know it was last year some time, that EU (and possible US) stopped them from blocking VPN's etc. as it isn't illegal. People can purchase service from Argentina or Turkey etc. and it's perfectly legal. That might contribute to price hikes. Along with the EU regulations of 20% content..
I am just thinking aloud with my keyboard..

Do all services supply the 20%?

It's alright. Nothing memorable about it except the usual Rogen focus on drugs

I saw Long Shot in the cinema and really enjoyed it. Better than most modern romcoms which may sound like faint praise but it's very entertaining.

Been watching White Collar again recently, it's a series I dip in and out of when I need something easy to watch that doesn't require too much brain power. It's a procedural about an art thief who's forced to become a consultant for the FBI and it's perfectly fine, middle of the road TV.

Really liked White Collar, as you say it's not too taxing on the brain cells and I like Matt Bomer, he's a good actor - and Tiffany Amber Thiessen is still a stone cold fox

Anybody watch Superstore ? I seen it was trending and it has a Parks/The Office vibe about it !
I’ll chance an episode or two anyways

It's grand, not on a par with Parks and Rec but does have a good few funny moments here and there. Near the end of Season 3; very watchable and bingeable

Thanks to all who recommended Call My Agent recently. Just finished season 1 and its so good we're stretching the pleasure of future seasons out over the next few weeks

It's a gem.

I started the new season and it's unfortunately not up to the previous standards. Just as well it's the last.

I love it too... currently on season 1. Trying to stick to one episode a night

Is the 4k much of an improvement over the 1080p on netflix?

I don't have a 4k tv yet but probably be getting one this year so was half thinking of upgrading.
