What is it like in the US because Netfix has announced they are coming here.

Is it worth getting and what do they stream?

    You can change. You can.
    The service is getting expensiver. They stream...well, from what I heard, they stream anything, really. At least, I've seen anime constantly being brought up as streaming material.

    ^Anime and TV shows are what they're most reliable about streaming a lot of stuff. Movies, less so.

    Netflix's anime seletion leaves a fair bit to be desired, but their TV show selection is pretty solid.

    What about films because the only other streaming company in the UK had a legal spat with Universal and can't show any post 2009 film from Universal

    Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!

    Films are kinda sketchy, they never seem to have the good stuff.(Apocalypse Now, American Psycho, Fight Club etc.).


    Though their anime selection has a few gems it's mostly moe moe harem fanservice crap.


    Regardless they have enough variety to effectively replace TV.

    Oh cool, thanks guys btw.

    Apocalypse Now

    My friend was just streaming that a few weeks ago, which means that unless they got rid of it, they do at least have that.

    ^Their selection varies between states. Led to some confusion when I found it out, since I watched something with my roommate in Atlanta, then drove back to Birmingham the next day and tried to show it to my parents, only to find that it wasn't there.

    Ah.  That's... bizarre.  Or rather, kind of annoying.

    >Films are kinda sketchy


    >Has The Seventh Seal, Seven Samurai, Citizen Kane, Blade Runner, Logan's Run, High Noon, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, The Chinese Connection, Lord of The Rings, countless Hayao Miyazaki films, Drunken Master, Troll Hunter, Let The Right One In, and many more I haven't thought of.


    Just saying.

    Well its nice to know that it might be worth getting.


    I just hope it shows a lot of American based drama because it can be good but hard to get legally.

    Sweet, Netfix is only £5.99 and the library they have for the United Kingdom is huge.
