Is Netflix worth paying for?

In my opinion definitely worth it. My DH pays for a full Sky subscription because he likes the sports channels, but if it were just me on my own I wouldn't bother with any of that. I rarely watch terrestrial TV, other than the news, because Netflix and Amazon Prime between them provide more than enough choice for me.

(But I am grateful for the Sky subscription, because it means I still have my DH around )

Yes. Try the months free trial and see what you think.
