Never really felt the love for Baby Driver. Very overrated, and I never really gave a fiddlers about the main character.

Falls apart completely in the last third but I enjoyed it for what it is. Fantastic soundtrack though.

Man Vs ManUre

Watch season 1 of line of duty.
The first 3 episodes were exceptional tho the final 2 dropped off a bit.
Still excellent tho and looking forward to continuing with season 2.

Earthhorse

Yeah, I agree. It sort of went off the deep end in order to ratchet up the tension.

Still enjoyed it as you say and will continue watching it.

If you think season 1 went off the deep end you ain't seen nothing yet. While I enjoy it, the plots become more and more ludicrous season by season.

It's cool. Seems to be the way with most TV these days. As long as it's well acted and scripted I'm happy to enjoy the ride.

+1 for whoever recommended 12th Man - a great watch and I wouldn't be into War movies really but this got me !

Said it in the TV thread and say it here, it looks spectacular, a really lush marriage of puppets and CGI.

Though all those Henson puppets make me miss Farscape

Netflix to raise prices for UK subscribers by up to 20%

Streaming firm says increases will let it spend more on shows as it looks to see off Disney+

Netflix is to raise prices for UK subscribers by up to 20% as it looks to invest more in programmes ahead of the arrival of deep-pocketed rival Disney’s eagerly anticipated service later this year.

The streaming company, which has not raised prices in the UK since 2017, is increasing the cost of a standard plan by £1 to £8.99 and premium by £2 to £11.99. The price of a basic plan remains unchanged at £5.99.

The basic plan allows viewing on a single device and only in standard definition. The standard subscription, which the vast majority of Netflix subscribers take, allows the use of two devices at the same time and high-definition viewing. A premium subscription permits viewing on up to four devices at a time, with the option of ultra-high definition.


The company, which has 10 million UK subscribers, said new customers will pay the higher rates immediately, while the increases will be implemented for existing users “over the coming weeks”.

Netflix has already raised prices in the US, as well as a number of markets in Latin America and the Caribbean that also use US dollars, with increases across western Europe also expected.

The company is looking to drive revenues from its customers, which number more than 150 million globally, as the company seeks to continue to fund its $15bn (£12bn) content budget and try to keep a cap on long-term costs and debt totalling about $30bn.

The price rises come ahead of the launch of Disney+ in the US later this year. At $6.99 a month, it will be about half the price of Netflix in the US, and will offer content including Star Wars, the Marvel superhero universe, films from the animation studio Pixar and movies such as Frozen and Beauty and the Beast.

Raise prices so people won't be able to afford two streaming services. Clever girl.

Well, we had been playing with the idea of unsubbing from Amazon once we got through Parks and Rec so that confirms that idea

I second that, really good movie, can’t believe anybody could live through those conditions!

The whole way through the movie I was thinking “that guys looks so like John Rhys Meyers” but presumed cause of the language it was some Norwegian lad.

he got into terrible situations all i could think was how the hell will he get out of this one and every time he did. loved the Reindeers running to the border at the end.

The Guilty’s well worth a watch. Have some issues with the direction the story goes and it’s all a bit contrived in the end. But it’s a well-crafted and tense ‘one location’ movie with a very strong central performance. Doesn’t shy away from the bleaker side of the tale it’s telling.

Still ridiculously cheap though. What is it now? €11 per mth for unlimited TV? Figure out your per hour cost and compare with the per hour cost of other entertainment activities.

No but I want to keep Netflix so will be forced to pay the increase doesn’t mean I have to be happy about it.

None of the TV services are good value, that includes streaming, cable & satellite providers. They all know people will pay over the odds for it for varying reasons including being able to tell their neighbours they have Sky

Smart people are happily enjoying everything they want to watch at way less cost.

But I always thought Netflix was marketed as like an alternative to these expensive tv channels wasn’t it?

I don’t have sky. Think it’s actually pretty crap, my parents have it but I think free to air channels are much better.

Yes it was marketed to suggest that originally but look at how many increases there have been in recent times. I don't think any of them offer good bang for buck anymore.

But that is my opinion, others might be happy to pay it.

A lot of people have smart TV's and a lot of smart people have all the TV they could ever watch.

It is not over the odds if people are willing to pay it. A good business model will price their product at as expensive a rate as possible until a further increase in price results in a reduction of profit. Netflix obviously feel there is still scope here for further increases without a drop in profit. looking at their stock price over the years it would seem the markets agree.
If a material amount of people cancelled their subs as a result of a price increase then they would be less inclined to increase them again in future but as I said they are ridiculously cheap when compared with other forms of entertainment.

Like if you only watched an hour of TV every day them=n the per hour cost of netflix is for pennies.

Pardon my complete ignorance here but are Irish prices going up? It's just I didn't get any notification about it yet?

johnny_ultimate

There is a Dublin Oldschool delay apparently, for those curious. Oh, and I would recommend it whenever it does eventually go up - ‘tis a fine little film, and not just because it’s Irish

Anyone who thinks Netflix is expensive is from a generation that never bought a newspaper, a magazine, or paid £5 (plus inevitable £3 late fee) to rent a movie from Xtravision.

I took my family to the cinema today to see The Secret Life of Pets 2. The tickets alone cost €36.

The Netflix monthly is peanuts for the variety of stuff they offer a household.

Just watched Dirty John there. Very overrated - dunno what the fuss was about. Can't fathom why it was worthy of a documentary? All I was thinking was why were those women so gullible ? Watching Stewart Lee now...not my cuppa either
