Had an email earlier today informing me that my monthly subscription is going from £5.99 to £8.99 per month.
A 50% bloody rise. Cheeky fúckers. |  | | |  |

I think Netflix are about to be in a world of pain. More and more companies are pulling their back catalog with the goal of creating their own streaming channels (Disney etc). Netflix are going to be left with a handful of stuff from minor distributors and their own content. Which is not going to be worth what they are now charging. |  | | |

yep big changes coming, and netflix's projections on new subscribers have been way off. Still, they do have the advantage of being 'first' and people will have to start choosing subscriptions, not doing all which some can do now. Sky must also, surely, be quaking a bit? They can't get many new subscribers these days? |  |

Just last week I upgraded my sky package. I took the Ultimate deal at £3 a month extra for 18 months. This includes sky box sets and Netflix Premium. It was available to all sky subscribers.
I already was getting box sets for £1 a month so the net cost of Netflix was just £2 a month
If you have sky check out to see if that offer is still available to you |  | | |

TBH I only have netflix for their originals stuff. They take risks on content that others won't and while hit and miss, leads to some great stuff. Stranger Things, Russian Doll, When They See Us are all original and bloody good.
Disney is the one I question. I was at a meeting with Sky a while back and they'd said they'd run 29 different pricing and subscription take up models,they saw no way it could break even |  | | |

Lucky you, mine's been £7.99 for a couple of years.
You could try quitting - often they test price rises to different customers to see cancellation rates for what they can get away with | | | |

I've often thought of Netflix but I like films from the 40s, 50s and 60s. Film Noire and Hollywood classics. Is it true that Netflix only has fairly recent films ? |  | | |

Surely they aren't intending it to break even, at least initially? They'll be doing what everyone else has done: hoover up content and run at a loss to rack up as many users as possible as quickly as they can, then bump the prices and cut back on costs until the sums add up.
Massive simplification but Disney's reserves are surely big enough for them to absorb massive losses if it means they can muscle Netflix and others out of the market eventually. |  | | |

Plus they have the Star Wars franchise and all the Marvel stuff. I think they’ll do well enough ... cheaper than BritBox!! |  | | |

Mine is £9.99 going upto £11.99, it’s great value, high quality streams, I can put it on kids devices too and 3 people can watch all at the same time, if anything there is too much choice |  | | |

I have it on my main tv, a tablet as well as my laptop and all work fine, but as with all things of this ilk, get and run a vpn in the background. | |

I like Netflix because it has started showing foreign programmes. These tend to be much better in my opinion. No offence, but the American made stuff is so utterly absurd 99 times out of a hundred that i find it an insult to my intelligence. We still make realistic seeming programmes in England, but anything American is almost guaranteed to be utterly retarded. It's as if they are made for people with an IQ in the low 70s. Absolute dog sh!t, i can't sit through them.
'I've got you held prisoner with my gun, so i'll just walk up close and let you take it, shall i?'. Embarrassing. My average grade for a 'blockbuster' is 2 out of 10 i'd have thought. Surely, adults don't watch those fcuking super-hero movies? Even as a child i found them insulting.
Programmes made in scandinavia or somewhere will typically seem realistic instead of ludicrous. |  | | |

I’d say the more stream providers enter the market, will result in more stream providers merging down the line and in some cases, they’ll have to merge.
Netflix’s content varies, but they do have some excellent stuff. But the really good thing is that you’re not stuck in a long contract so if its not your cup of Darjeeling, then you can cancel easy enough...we’ll thats what they say. |  |

The Scandinavian series are indeed all excellent and as you said, realistic. Watched all of The Bridge, Trapped, Sandham Murders, Sorjonen, Midnight Sun, Bordertown, Beck ... all excellent.
The Team, Undercover, La Mante... two great foreign series as well.
I don’t watch any American stuff. Too prodictable and thin plots with characters out of place. |  | | |
