Is Netflix worth paying for?

You really should it’s been my saviour during the C19 cisis

I also have Netflix free courtesy of my son. I haven't found that much on there so far, so not sure I'd pay for it. I'm possibly not good at finding things for me. I'm not mad on too many US programmes, although I liked the one about Hasidic Jews.

I really liked an old fashioned feel good film set in a Sydney department store, Ladies in Black, and I liked the Crown.

This thread has given me a lot more to investigate.

And I meant to add we can all watch at the same time.

Shizam your son could simply upgrade to a family subscription at little extra cost, and then you could watch it. You could always pay him back if needed!

When we go to Netflix, which is paid for by my daughter, there are entrance or access buttons for 5 different family members and we simply click on 'Mum 'n Dad'.

Netflix , brilliant. Try JUNGLE, true story starring Daniel Radcliffe.

Netflix is brilliant. Great entertainment and we watch via our daughter’s subscription, so definitely worth it!!

Netflix has some excellent drama series. The Crown is outstanding.
I was sharing my son’s account until I discovered only one account can watch at a time. So if I’m on it, he can’t watch. Need to get my own sorted!

If you have sky they offer Netflix free

We love it. We got it just before lockdown and haven't regretted it. A great price and you can always find something to watch. Give it a go. The free trial is a good idea.

Do you have family / friend who have it? We are on DD contract, works very well and good programs

Thanks Oopsminty for the Octopus recommendation. Will have another look, but think I will be getting through a lot of books this winter.

I've had my first NetFlix experience.I watched My Octopus Teacher and was amazed by the underwater photography . I was moved to tears at times.I hadn't realised it is a Documentary but so pleased Gransnet encouraged me to watch it,thank you.

Oh I'm so pleased you enjoyed it!

And yes, I never dreamt I'd be crying over an octopus!

We have Netflix and Amazon Prime and would recommend them both. So much rubbish on BBC and the other channels. So annoying that you have to pay the BBC not to watch their programmes.

I love it, particularly since Covid. I usually watch the films but, have watched some of the tv series and enjoyed them. I can’t wait for the next series of The Crown

Yes! Some of the best programmes on Netflix

For the Crown alone the subscription is worth every penny.
It is the best series I have ever seen.
I would not hesitate.

Came on to say this.
Even if you just watch all the series of The Crown and then cancel your subscription. (Is there a minimum monthly limit?)
I envy you!

I was going to ‘invest’ in Netflix this year instead of paying my TV licence but the BBC has scuppered this - is that its way of making me watch their rubbish programmes.

My son has a subscription to Netflicks which allow you to have it on 5 devices. Our TV is one of them. It is a godsend in corona virus times. I have just finished watching the 3 series of Call My Agent - a French serial about the lives and jobs of people working at a talent agency.

Great fun and very French!
I am going to watch some Tom Hanks films next. And then the next series of the Crown is due back with Princess Diana etc.

I loved Call my agent!
Have you watched two Aussie ones..Offspring and Rake ? Really good.

Fauda is a brilliant Netflix original drama made by both Israelis and Palestinians. Made me understand the situation there much better and edge of the seat exciting

With so many different categories, there is something for everyone to watch on Netflix.
I think it’s very good value for £5.99 per month.

YES, OH YES! I would be lost without it.
So much choice and it keeps a record of where you are up to and you do not open an episode only to find you have seen it. It is clear if you have watched etc....

Thanks to the two ladies who explained the charges to me x

Yes!! fantastic documentaries, good films and excellent series and lots of choice. There is a 3 part docu-series called "Don't with Cats" which had me on the edge on my chair - a must to be seen!
