As far as I can tell, Netflix is down to Ozark, Stranger Things, BoJack Horseman, and Black Mirror (which runs about 3 episodes every 18 months) as far as decent original series go. Everything else has either run its course or has been pulled because of Disney. Unless they announce about half a dozen killer shows for 2020, I imagine they’re going to lose half their subscriber base. It’s not like you can watch movies on Netflix either. You need the DVD plan to see any new releases. Streaming offers nothing.
I use a VPN to be able to watch Netflix from any country, and that makes it just about worthwhile. I have an app on my phone that shows you what is being added and removed every day. To keep their numbers up, they are adding a LOT of Korean and Indian movies and TV shows, along with third-rate documentaries (some are just 20 mins of drone footage without commentary called "INSERT PLACE NAME From Above"). A lot of movies are only on Netflix for 2 months before they are removed again, some only last six weeks. I'd happily pay $30, maybe up to $50 for "Spotify for TV and movies." One service that has 90% of everything that has ever existed. By spreading everything around an ever increasing number of providers, they are just encouraging piracy. For me, the Disney+/Hulu deal is the closest we will get. That covers Disney/Pixar/Marvel/LucasFilm/ABC and now everything from Fox. Fox wanted people to pay for a streaming service that only had The Simpsons, now The Simpsons is part of Disney+.
