Just been on their website to have a look at the varying levels of sub that can be taken out.

Its raised a question or two, regarding content type and sub level.

Firstly, does Netflix preach modern "issues" in it's content? I watch TV for escapism, the last thing I want is to be lectured regarding things deemed "fashionable" by those driving such stuff.

Secondly. I see the lowest cost sub at £4.99 offers 1080p resoluition with ads. It also says I can register the sub on my computer. So, If I watch on said computer , would my browser , with it's adblocker filter out the ads or does Netflix detect the block and hoof you out?
I watch most of my Youtube input on my comp and the adblocker works a treat (I use a Firefox add on. )

Actually , I've thought of a third question . How does the frequency of ads on the Netflix acc I mention compare with the frequency on Youtube? Or again, if known, how many minutes of ads per hour watched.
Anybody any ideas, thoughts?

Cheers.

Most things made by Netflix will feel like a lecture but ignoring that are often well made. It's really up to you where the line is.
