What's worth watching on Netflix? I scan it every now and then and find nothing. I have no idea why I still pay for it. No one in my house watches it either. I should cancel until Stranger Things comes back.
While not the newest content, it recently caused me to find and finally watch the classics Boyz in the Hood and Training Day, and this weekend I intend to watch Vice. It was also because of Netflix that I first found the new Puss in Boots movie, Blue-Eye Samurai, and Delicious in Dungeon (I generally loathe anime so those last two are fairly significant).
I think Inside Job and Narcos are Netflix only content? I thoroghly enjoyed both of those (and totally understand why people hate them for canceling Inside Job). My wife enjoyed/enjoys (she's doing a full rewatch ATM) of Orange is the New Black. The two of us also just finished binging Kim's Convenience.
They also just added some other big name content that were (I think?) Exclusive content on other platforms - specifically thinking Dune, Whiplash, and Joker.
Between discovery and availability, Netflix adds value to my life in my opinion.
100% respect for people who disagree and have contrary opinions and/or are outraged at their handling of exclusive content (ngl, I'm not happy with them canceling Inside Job). But it's good enough for me to keep around - that, and my wife is super NOT technically inclined, and I've yet to find a solution outside of a standard streaming deal (read as: anything involving sailing the high seas) that meshes with her willingness to work with it.
Edit: Spelling is hard.
"Pussy in Boots"
Typo or sexy spin-off?
Also Blue-Eye Samurai was super cool and Dreamworks has been killing itwith their movies
Wow, yeah def a typo there. Thanks for catching that for me.
I wasn't correcting you because you were wrong, I was pointing it out cause it was funny :)
One man's typo is another man's opportunity
I know Lemmy is supposed to be a "post-karma" ecosystem, but I'm happy to provide the additional upvotes and apparent activity.
