I have a Netflix account primarily for the original programming (Daredevil and Longmire).
To justify the other 10 months of the year, I have been rewatching old shows lately. 9 buck a month for a whole series a whole lot better than buying the box set for certain shows. |

It is a much better deal when you don't pay for cable/satellite subscription.
Paying Comcast for video service with Netflix on top will be disappointing. Their originals are what brings in the real interest. They are almost their own TV channel. |

Netflix has wanted to be their own new network for some time. This just reflects that.
Along with Hulu+ and Amazon Prime, I keep them around because they're cheap and they provide at least a little more variety to my viewing choices. If the price of a subscription went up significantly, though, I'd drop them. |

There is rarely anything that holds my interest there since I finished all the Walking Dead episodes they have. |

I think Netflix is just following what their customers want. If more people are watching series and new programming and less movies, that is where they are going to put their programming. We watch series, a few episodes at a time, and have yet to run out of things to watch. I dont even look for movies unless something interesting pops up in the new release area. We only watch two to four movies a month at most, so redbox is our go-to place for that. We hit it at the gas station on our way home from the beach. We prefer to be active and do stuff, not watch the tube for a significant part of our lives..

I used to be a huge netflix fan. but I bet I haven't spent more than 6 or 8 hours in the last month watching it and 6 of that was that shitty daredevil show. now that its obvious that the netflix/marvel team is a disaster with the shit show that was jessica jones and the absolutly terrible daredevil season 2 I'm pretty close to cancelling my account.

Yep.
I fired cable in 2010 because I was paying about $100 per month for literally hundreds of channels that did not interest me in the least. I fired Netflix a little over a year ago because I was paying about $8 per month for fewer and fewer offerings that interest me. The way I figure it, it breaks down like this: Netflix was costing me $7.99 per month, or $95.88 per year. With old-school TV, a year used to be one season of 24 episodes. One season of, say, the X-Files costs $14.99. That means that, in one year, I can buy one season each of six different shows for a little less than a year of Netflix costs. I don't watch a ton of TV in the first place, so for me it's a "buy once, cry once" kind of deal. I pay for an entire series, but I can enjoy it ad infinitum for no additional payments and I don't have to worry about losing access (barring media obsolescence and inaccessibility of older tech). Works for me but definitely not for someone who has any real interest in TV, I guess. |
