Doesn't the monthly sub increase when you go back to them?
(I'm still paying 5.99)


Seen all of BB from start to finish a couple of times, and individual episodes, and groups of episodes way more than twice.
And Just finished rewatching both seasons of the excellent Netflix series House of Cards.
Film wise in the last few months a dozen notable fairly recent ones, including:

Birdman
Whiplash
The Imitation Game
Foxcatcher
Prisoners

A few others missed first time around: Zodiac and The Fighter to name just two off the top of my head.Since joining NF seen several of the popular US series like The Walking Dead/Dexter/+++ that have some depth to them

Yes. I guess you could say I like NF!
Nope still the same price.

There are 3 price plans now available:
1 screen + SD = £5.99
2 screens + HD = £6.99
4 screens + HD + Ultra HD = £8.99
In May 2014 it was announced there would be a price increase with the original 2 screen option raising to £6.99 but all current subscribers would have a 2 year price freeze.

I was thinking if I were to cancel NF for a while when I resubbed it would go up to 6.99
from 5.99 (I'm on 2 screen HD)

Incidentaly, on Terra TV tonight there's Minority Report, Zero Dark Thirty and Odyssey (Known as American Odyssey on Netflix Canada) all which are or have been available on various NF regions for a while now.

Just in case there are some folk that didn't know here

I pay around £4.50p/m for Netflix 2 screens plus HD as i used a vpn set to canada to sign up.
Netflix in uk is going up again soon if it hasn't already. I think to £6.49p/m for 1 screen.

The 2 screen option is now £7.49 for new customers.

I started watching "Breaking Bad" recently. I loved it at first. I'm on to season four and I'm struggling a bit.

Does it pick up again?

Ok. I want to stick with it but at the moment I'm not enjoying it as much. I remember reading that there was a dip in the program.

Would have been better to not have read that mc.
BB gets darker in tone the further in you get,
but be reassured it accelerates to an appropriate, and extremely satisfying conclusion.

Okay I didn't read the article but the headline mentioned a dip. I'm near the end of season four at the moment.

I've successfully avoided spoilers...so far!

Pick up. I never thought it took it's foot of the accelerator. There is only one episode that I didn't like (and you've seen that) - I won't mention which it is.

I'm jealous of anyone who's not seen it as they get to experience what a fantastic series it is for the first time.

I won't spoil it for you, except to say I don't think I've found anything since I watched it (now a couple of years ago) that has come anywhere close to being as good.

Suggestions welcome (NF or not).

I resubbed to Netflix recently and was hoping to carry on watching Justified only to find it was taken off, apparently without much warning. Its not on US or Canadian Netflix either or Amazon Prime. Very frustrating, its such a good show.

I finished Breaking Bad last night

Looking forward to being able to watch Pretty Little Liars properly. I'm quite enjoying it so far.

I do also think Netflix in the UK is starting to get a little better.
They are now showing a few films from the late 80s/early 90s that I loved.
I have also started watching the new Scream TV series so has my sister and we think its so far very good.
Have also in the last week or so watched Beverly Hills Cop and Beverly Hills Cop 2.
Next film I may watch is the early 90s film Ghost as that's was another great film as well as Beverly Hills cop 3
I'm also just starting on series two of Charmed and just finished watching the first and only season of Taxi Brooklyn the other night.
Still only £6.99 it cost a month for Netflix and that's two screens and in HD.
Me and my sister have started sharing the cost of Netflix.
Netflix is still better value than taking a Sky Movies package from other pay TV providers.
Netflix also as a good range of TV box sets and is improving all the time.
