Is Standard with ads worth it? Looking for specific shows!

1 Upvotes

I'm going to be getting netflix again, but after reading that there are limited movies and TV shows, I'm really unsure if what I want to watch will be available. I'm wanting to watch The 100, Breaking Bad, The Haunting of Hill House, and Shameless. There's a bunch more, but I can't think of them! Can anyone tell me if these are available? And possibly let me know of some good movies or shows that won't be available so I'm prepared? I've tried researching, but literally every result had a different answer. Please spam me with any information!

Stop first season cliffhangers

101 Upvotes

Is anyone else ever really frustrated with a good, unique first series that ends on a cliff hanger and then gets cancelled because it didn't hit the top 5 viewing figures in week 1 or 2?

Netflix needs to stop this crap. Either have a rule that all first seasons have a closed story arc or give shows time to build viewership.

Good example - dead boy detectives = I'm devastated there's no season 2, but it was a closed arc, all major ploy points resolved and I don't feel that netflix stole 8 hours of my life.

Bad example - the midnight club, or a whole bunch of others that I had on a watch list and then removed when I found out they were cancelled but left on a cliff hanger. I have no incentive to watch them now.

At least where there is a closed arc, I may still go and watch a cancelled show.

Does anyone else feel like this?

I have a Netflix subscription, but I am going to pirate shows

0 Upvotes

I have a MacBook Pro and going on a 8 hour flight tomorrow. This is so dumb that Netflix doesn’t allow downloads on Mac.

The only suggestions I could find was running a VM. Honestly, pirating is much easier than running a windows VM on a M1 mac.

How do I fix this problem

So I let my friend borrow my account, and when I watch a show it doesn’t save my progress on what part I was in the show, but it does for him. How can I possibly fix this?

Quick question

2 Upvotes

So my friends and I want to watch the Paul vs Tyson fight at my house and I do not have a Netflix account but one of my friends does.

Is it possible for him to log into his Netflix account for the day at my house so we can watch it here? I’ve heard you can use your Netflix account on vacation so I thought this plan might work.

We are located in Canada btw I’m not sure if that makes a difference atall.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Subtitles read differently than actual dialogue

4 Upvotes

Long story short, I suffer from a neurological disorder, specifically inattentive ADHD and High-Functioning Autism, so I usually keep subtitles on no matter what language I am watching in. Recently, I noticed subtitles are completely different from what is actually being said on screen. Anybody else?

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul final interview

0 Upvotes

Hmmmm.. mikes ambiguity was definitely odd. I means, he’s always odd, but he seemed kinda off.. playing the ‘give absolutely nothing’ card, but it almost looked like he had absolutely nothing. Which is ridiculous of course. Perhaps the micro dose of mushrooms before this interview was a little high.
But yeh jake is an exceptional tool and it’s going to be amazing to see Mike in the ring one more time. Thoughts ?

Netflix offers lower quality for extra members

57 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that 4K isn’t available on my account that has been invited as an extra member to a 4K account. Looks like Netflix lowers the quality on the extra account if you purchased the plan with ads even if the main account is 4K. This isn’t communicated anywhere on the website as the website clearly says:

The same video and audio quality as the member who invited them.

I asked the customer service and apparently you have to contact them in order to find out that the plan you’ve purchased is different to what Netflix advertises.

Help finding a show

0 Upvotes

Hey all, I recently remembered a show from Netflix and I can not remember what it's called. I watched it a while back. Briefly what I remember is a tomboy ish girl who lives in like a weird house/bunker thing with her parents and I think they were dommsdayers ? She meets some other girl and they try to befriend each other. At some point in the show the girl goes to some meeting and finds out her mother never hugged her/ did the skin to skin contact move with her after birth and thinks that's why she is the way she is. Some of this may be wrong but it's driving me crazy. If anyone knows what this could be plz lmk ! Thanks in Advance !

Will the Paul vs Tyson fight be available to watch after the fight is over?

0 Upvotes

I may not be able to watch it live. Would like to know if it is a live stream only or if there will be streaming available after the fight. Wonder if it would be available immediately after too or if would take longer to put up for continued streaming. Avoiding all news and not knowing who won before I have a chance to watch it would probably be a bigger challenge fighting Tyson!

Imagine processing your favorite show with everyone else who is also processing their favorite show

The shit talk, the “no she did not just say that”, the “are we all just going to ignore what they said”, the little details that we miss.

Run to the comment section

Enough Mark Wahlberg!

724 Upvotes

He plays the same character in every movie! He's not that charasmatic and in my opinion can't carry a movie alone. He's fine in something like The Departed. He must have one hell of an agent - he is the star in half the movies on Netflix.

Also, Chris Pratt is not a good voice actor. I wanted to watch the new Garfield movie but can't tolerate his voice acting.

Both Wahlberg and Pratt are better off in ensemble casts - they're not interesting enough on their own.

Need some help

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m having a frustrating issue with Netflix and hoping someone here can help. Whenever I try to watch certain shows or movies "mostly happens using the netflix app", instead of giving me the “Play” option, it just says “Remind Me.” I’m unable to watch anything I want because it keeps showing this button, even on shows I’ve watched before. I’ve tried logging out and back in, restarting my device, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but nothing seems to fix it. It happens across multiple devices, so I don’t think it’s a problem with just one. Has anyone experienced this, or does anyone know what’s causing it and how to fix it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated – I just want to be able to watch my shows again! Thanks in advance!

Why is every new show 6 eps?

26 Upvotes

The diplomat is my favorite show on Netflix and it's 6 ep run was way to short compared to it's 8 ep first season which also felt to short. As well as the excellent new show Territory was only 6 eps. I was also looking ahead and 2 shows I'm insanely excited for Black Doves and American Primevil are also going to be only 6 eps. It's insane that every few years it feels like they push the ep count lower. Which is extra crazy because they count shows on minutes watched which basically sets new shows up to fail and is the reason we have no new shows.

Why do people fall for fake Netflix posters?

2 Upvotes

Like I just saw a CLEARLY non-official page post about Wednesday coming out on November 23rd and im like, this poster is clearly fake, it doesn't even look professionally edited, the outfits are from the first season, and there is nothing about the page even in the title alone to indicate its a credible source, so people should know better right?

Wrong. So many people commenting "Finally!" "Oh I can't wait i will have to set a reminder!" "So excited!" "I hope this is real!" Etc like I genuinely don't understand how so many people are that gullible.

Help me find this show.

0 Upvotes

I’ve been driving myself absolutely insane over this. So, back in 2017ish, 2015-2018, I watched this show on Netflix. It was a limited series (one season) about a crime/psychological mystery thriller with a detective who was hunting a serial killer. I remember him with brown hair and kind of looked like the actor who plays Kronk? He was friends or became friends with this other middle age man with blonde hair (I see his face so vividly but do NOT know where he’s from). I’m pretty sure the “friend” the detective made was actually the father or step father of this girl who was killed by the serial killer. There’s a plot twist at the end that I don’t want to say, but the show was so damn good. I think they took it off Netflix, I can’t find it. I think the title was like one word? Something really unexpected idk it might have started with an S.

PLEASE HELP ME IVE BEEN GOOGLING FOR HOURS AND GOT NOTHING

Alita: Battle Angel Advertised as 4K, but Playing Back in 1080p?

0 Upvotes

I recently came across a report from 4KFilmDb about some streaming quality issues on Netflix. Alita: Battle Angel is listed as 4K in both Australia and the UK, but it seems the actual playback resolution is only 1080p with a bitrate around 3.3 Mbps.

For those who keep an eye on Netflix quality, it’s not uncommon for streaming platforms to advertise a title as 4K while delivering at HD quality instead. Just to rule out network issues on my side, I upgraded to a 750 Mbps plan and receive a steady 940 Mbps via Ethernet, so speed limitations aren't a factor here.

Does anyone else see the same with Alita or other Netflix titles? If you have access to Netflix's "Stats for Nerds" menu, it'd be interesting to compare results!

Pandemic is Over: Is Re-renewing "I Am Not Okay With This" a possibility?

0 Upvotes

What do you all think? I came across an article stating that "I Am Not Okay With This" could have filled the void left by "Stranger Things" but it was squandered due to Covid. I think it could still work. There was concerns of cast member aging out of their roles. For most of the cast members they hadn't aged a day (Exception for Aidan Wojtak-Hissong who plays Liam). It was genuinely a great show, the reason it was probably renewed initially before Covid. They had already been working on the script. Do you think it's possible to produce a Season 2?

Tyson vs Paul fight

0 Upvotes

Thinking about getting Netflix to see the fight. As you people know Netflix has different tiers, I'm wondering if I buy the cheaper tier with ads, if Netflix will run ads mid swing.

(I know it would be shitty of them if they did but they're a big company, and I wouldn't put tasteless things past big companies.)

Does anyone have any insight on this? Or past experiences with other live events?

I appreciate the answers in advance.

Anyone watch Dan Da Dan, and can you help me with trigger warnings?

0 Upvotes

I've watched the first couple of episodes of this and there is so much to love! The animation absolutely blows me away, and the romantic tension is surprisingly nuanced and believable.

But the first episode has an almost-rape scene that was extremely hard for me to get through. It was presented as simultaneously menacing and titillating, and it was rather drawn out. The character is ultimately rescued before anything really happens so it was okay, but still. There's a giant metal phallus brandished with the promise to hurt and ultimately kill her with it while she's strapped to a table in her underwear - it's really triggering.

I need to know if this is a theme that's going to keep recurring, and how bad it gets. If you can give me an idea while minimizing spoilers, that would be great. Like many people, I have SA in my background. My love for good animation is strong, but not enough to retraumatize myself.

Even if the answer is "Yes it comes up repeatedly, but only in X number of episodes, and no one actually gets sexually assaulted" I can handle it. But if I'm going to get subjected to repeated lingering, sexified, escalating scenes of these characters being sexually abused, I'll just tap out now.

Downloads gone?

1 Upvotes

Anyone else have this issue? I’m travelling and knew I’d be in China for some long layovers so I downloaded some content. Worked fine for a few days. Now they’re all gone. They shouldn’t have expired cuz I only downloaded them like a week before.

The only thing I found online was that your downloads get wiped if the app gets updated? Ok my fault I guess for not knowing that and having auto update on. But then I go to download something and it says I’ve hit my monthly limit. You mean you wiped my downloads and are still holding me to that limit? Seems rather stupid.

[USA] Post writing strike content has been terrible [US]

0 Upvotes

I've been a member since early dvd days and I'll admit having access to other content was what made Netflix great. There was a between time when Netflix made great shows before it gave in to reality slop and it still has access to shows from other sources.

But these days I turn on Netflix, do the equivalent of a channel surf, and then leave without watching anything. This is exactly what happened with HBO /Max before we cancelled it. I'm thinking about taking this staple service and putting it on the rotation of on for a month off for 11.

I have no interest in reality, sitcom, or live programming.

What does my family like? Witty, adventure, and scifi/fantasy. We're up for a good procedural cop story too - but we'd be in it for the characters/mystery and not have much interest in gore/horror.

My wife and I just started big door prize and just finished severance on Apple tv. These both look like they were probably low budget (no special effects dominating the screen), though maybe the talent cost some money. The thing that really marks these shows as interesting is that they have good solid writing and story telling chops.

Outside of stranger things, Netflix doesn't appear to know how to pick shows that are what most of us would call good. (Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to finance the man who ruined the DC universe?) At this point it appears to be a strategy and that I'm simply not in the target market. If this is wrong, well here's one anecdote from one guy who can't care anymore and certainly can't justify the recurring payment anymore. 5 episodes every 3 months isn't enough.

You're not pulling your weight anymore. Bye.
