Though Netflix goes through periods of waxing and waning in terms of new original content being added, it is an invaluable service for anyone that enjoys quality television and movies. The selection is absolutely labyrinthine in scope, with every genre one can possibly think of accounted for heavily. There's plenty of content for anyone looking to watch something no matter where they are, and that makes Netflix an easy recommendation.

  • uses geo-blocking
  • requires third party software (widwine from google -they love to help building the censorship all over the world lately-) to watch the encrypted contents
  • older and famous movies are not available (yet?)

but is still a better choice than amazon or hulu if you are outside the us.

I think till the u.s. maffia (mpaa) won't lift the geo-block (morons the internet has no borders), torrent users will seed the "illegal" stuff and services like netflix are forced to use encryption to "protect" them from the "swarm".

p.s: I subscribed for a couple of months (to support this way some of my favorite shows) and i'm still seeding to others that is currently blocked by their f-ing "law".

bye-bye streaming services untill geo-blocking will be illegal

Region blocking aka IP checking to see if its the same user or if you are sharing is easy to overcome.

Yeah you gotta know your way around networks a bit but, create a VPN on your router and just connect to it before watching, set that up on your friends phones, laptops and PCs and they're good to go.

Its a lot of work and that's why I recommend just unsubscribing simply :P

Used to be goated with a VPN, but the crackdown on account sharing ruined it

Netflix used to be a pretty good streaming service, but lately, it’s gone downhill. The geoblocking and privacy issues really take away from the experience. It’s still okay for now, but it would be a bummer if it gets any worse

I’ve been with Netflix for a while now, and I really dig the original series—they’re often the highlight of my evenings. However, I have to admit that when it comes to movies, Netflix can be hit or miss. Sometimes I feel like I'm scrolling endlessly for something decent, and honestly, other streaming services seem to nail it a bit better in that department. I still enjoy Netflix for its binge-worthy shows, but for a solid movie night, I might explore other options.

The only reason I still have this is because a family member of mine is paying for it. They keep removing features subscribers like in order to increase profits. They fund crappy remakes. Plus I never liked subscription-based models. However I give it 2 stars because at least they let you use ad block for the ad-based plan. The fact you have to pay for ads is still annoying though.
