It’s just over a month since Netflix launched here in Ireland giving everyone one month’s free access before starting to charge. I’ve got two days left in my free month and I’m not sure if I will subscribe. Netflix is a subscription based film and television streaming service, you can watch on demand and there are no limits to how much you watch.
My dilemma is this. There are not enough current or contemporary films included in their content. Since my free month began, I’ve watched a good few movies trying out the service. There have been a couple I hadn’t seen before. A lot of things that I would be interested in, I would have had on DVD anyway so these would be ruled out to watch, for me, online.
A lot of the content seems, please correct me if I’m wrong, to come from the 80s, 90s and 00s. An awful lot coming up in my recommended stream seem to be from 2000-2002. French movies, I like them, there’s eight on Netflix and some of those in my DVD collection. (more…)
