Netflix. Prime. Apple TV+. What else?

[Phooey]

Netflix is our main choice of tv content. Prime is good but IMO not a patch on Netflix but will keep it. Recently got AppleTV+ (Free with new device) but highly doubt I’ll be renewing after free period. Used to have Now but got bored of it quickly. Anything else worth considering? Disney? Not interested in Sports or documentaries. 3 adults and a 12yr old. Cheers

Disney will soon have more adult content on a new sub channel called STAR

Only other one I can think of is Britbox.

Obviously there is the usual free stuff BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 4 all have a lot of stuff.

I can't believe anyone would pay for Apple +, need to up their game considerably. I got it free for a year and have watched 1 film in the past 3 months, nothing else appeals.

[Phooey]

Cheers Mojooo, I'll check out STAR on Disney.

Agree - Apple+ is destined to fail as a pay service IMO.

Dear Sir,

I read in the Guardian once, that as not everything is available in the UK, some nefarious characters use various streaming sites and download sites for content they are not allowed to pay for.

Shocking.

Down with this sort of thing.

Have you watched Servent? I have read it's good.

Also Amazon Prime has a few good shows, Americans, The Boys etc

[ajprice]

If you go for Disney, get it before Star starts on Feb 23rd, before then the annual price is £59.99, after it starts the price is £79.99. If you pay £59.99 before 23rd Feb you won't pay the higher price until 2022.

We have Prime (£6.58pm*), Netflix (£5.99pm) and a sky box (£27pm) totalling (£39.57pm).

I've been considering binning the sky, using a Freesat box and Chromecast that we already own and adding a Disney+ (£4.99pm*) and Discovery+ (£4.17pm*) subscriptions. This which would nearly halve our monthly outgoings to £21.66 and still keep all the main things we watch.

(* cheaper yearly cost /12)

Just watched the first 2 episodes of Servent and so far it's not too bad. I'm looking forward to carry on with this series. Defending Jacob was v.good.

The Boys was fantastic

Cool, thanks for the heads up!
