Speedo Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 We finally bit the bullet and got YouTubeTv. I think it's time to cancel Hulu and Netflix. I don't watch Hulu and all of the shows my wife watches are on YTT anyway. Netflix hasn't been worth a fuck in ages, I'm not sure why we kept it for as long as we did.

Patient #48273 Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I hate how there are so many different streaming services now, it's like cable all over again. There's very little incentive to not go back to downloading everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only bought YTT because it's football season and I want to watch games without having to hold my phone. MLB is airing as well, so I may even give that a go. My wife's shows are just a plus, she was already taken care of by Hulu so it didn't matter to her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really frustrating in the UK because now all of the exclusives in US streaming never come over here because we don't have those services. HBO, Hulu, none of that. Daniel Sloss, a fucking Scottish comic, has a special completely unavailable to the UK because its on HBO. There is literally no legal way to purchase or rent that special in the UK. Fucking bonkers. I only have prime and Netflix, and I go back and forth over prime. I tried Disney plus but saw no real use to it, tried NowTV and it's appalling, apart from that we don't have a lot of other options and Netflix has been a bit shitter over the years.

I watched the first two seasons recently but got a bit bored with it. I plan to return to it because I did enjoy it. But it was a slow burn and I've been reading instead of watching TV lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s okay Laura…it’s okay. Horus works in mysterious ways. I became enamoured with Ice Road Truckers about 47 minutes ago on my lunch break - which we both know…was because of you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Bagel Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 I just think Season 2 is jarring Cus it moves away from the characters we’re used to. Bothered me at first but on multiple watches, probably my second favourite season. Long live the brotherhood of stevedores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Just finished Midnight Mass, it was better than I thought it would be. I really like what Mike Flanagan is doing in the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Coight Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 @Ghent @Cheerios4u98 you blokes watched Star Wars visions yet? I’m on ep 4. Big fan of it so far. Very different for Star Wars but very cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
