    Santa Clarita Diet is still fantastic. Season 3 just came out and it’s “laugh out loud” funny as were the first two seasons. We’re only a few episodes in on S03.

    Well frick… Netflix cancelled the show just a month after releasing Season 3. Oh well...

    $16 bucks a month for 4K on multiple screens at a time. Thousands of shows, lots admittedly crap, but lots of REALLY good stuff including documentaries, nature shows, movies for the kids, etc. I can't think of a better entertainment value personally. But you do you man!

    Only kidding really. But it adds up, YouTube TV also went up twice in last 12 months. Time to dump a couple I use least. I canceled Spotify also :'( We don’t watch many movies and shows this time of year or till August anyway.

    I find myself never finishing any series anymore. I just think it’s bad timing for Netflix to raise the price. I’m sure they know better than me though.

    I agree it does add up, and I need to reassess some things as well. Netflix is the one thing I will keep for sure, at least for now.

    My problem with Netflix is their business model. After a little digging, it's clear why SO many good shows are cancelled after only 3 'seasons'. Apparently, they fund the season cost plus 30%. Then each subsequent season, the rate increases, and apparently at Season 4, it takes a HUGE jump. With Santa Clarita Diet and Narcos both cancelled after just 3 seasons, along with a TON of other great series, it just hits a nerve. Hopefully they at least pay to have another episode or two to tie up the loose end cliffhanger they left us with on SCD... but that's wishful thinking...

    Paying the lower rates for 3 or fewer seasons of a series is smart business on their part... just trash any good show before season 4, and start a new one back at the lower costs. They've just got to make sure that doesn't backfire on them...

    "The Bill Murray Stories". This documentary looks into some of the wacky and odd Bill Murray stories that have been floating around over the last several years. What a down to earth and likable guy he is! Check it out.

    It will be interesting to see what changes, if any, are made to that model once the Disney streaming serve launches. Disney has the potential to be a industry disruptor and more than enough decent shows and cannon to work from...

    I am about ready to switch to basic cable. For Netflix I get Blue Rays, one a month, and it sometimes takes me two months to watch one movie. I just can’t sit and watch TV. At least listening to my stereo I can cruise the Internet with my iPad Mini.

    Watched John and Yoko ABOVE US ONLY SKY last night. It's about Lennon's first solo album after the Beatles. Some very interesting footage. Well worth a watch.

    I find a lot of shows are doing that now, including the eff word. Surprised me that it was now okay to do.

    ABC cancelled it after two seasons and Netflix picked it up. That's why the change happened. Netflix is like premium cable, far fewer restrictions as long as its rated properly...and they think they need it to be edgier to compete I imagine. Like the eff word is edgy nowadays lol...

    I just think it is funny that it went from clean to swearing constantly. It really caught me off guard not expecting it. I just find they are swearing a little too much.

    I thought Hanna was well done - I liked the fact that they focused more on the story than just a constant stream of fight scenes.

    A Quiet Place on Prime video was fantastic. Randomly chose this last night and it was a really nice surprise. Watch it.

    “I Am Mother” was compelling and a well done mind trip, definitely worth the watch.

    *However* - if you are a watcher that needs the ending wrapped up and spelled out to the letter, you may want to think twice. If you think it through, you can put the pieces together, OR there are a multitude of posts and videos explaining the ending for you.

    Been watching What/If. Plot gets more interesting in each episode. Would not have guessed that Zellweger is the older lady. Have not yet figured out how the **** guys fit into the story though.
    Yep, my name really is Bob.

    First season of the sinner was good. Haven’t started the second yet...

    And the good place is just amazing. NBC show but fun to stream on Netflix. I almost wrote an article on Kierkegaard and the good place but decided against, which meant I had to rewatch the first two seasons, which were soo good...

    The Man In the High Castle (On Prime) is outstanding. The only downside, it is a bit slow - however, that is offset by rich character development, an intriguing premise, and a few great twists.
