We subscribe to NF, Hulu (no commercial version), Prime, Disney + (got the 3 years for 150 deal), ESPN +, and have a full Cable package with HBO (includes Peacock and HBO Max). Need to pair this down after the Comcast contract expires.
I see a lot of Usenet with Radarr and Sonarr in my future.
If you are willing to do a little legwork, you can get many of the streaming services free or at a big discount as they are all competing like crazy for subs. They also don't seem to give a crap about login sharing either, so much cheaper to share across a family too. If they ever crack down on the login sharing, expect a lot of backlash and pirating to go back up.
For instance, I pay for Prime and Netflix. I get HBO Max for free through my AT&T cell plan. I share these with my in-laws who have Verizon and get Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ for free. Verizon just announced their users can get a free 6 or 12 month sub to Discovery+ depending on your cell plan. Apple is giving away 1 year subs to Apple+ if you buy a new iphone. CBS All Access has been giving away free 1 month codes that stack every month for a long while now. A T-Mobile cell plan you can get Netflix for free or discounted.
If you can't utilize some of the cell plans, then look for coupon codes and freebies. Hulu just had a special for 12 months at $2 a month. HBO Max is running a promo for 20% off if you pay for 6 months in advance. Check your credit cards as AMEX just had $20 streaming credits through last December, also some offers like half off HBO Max for 3 months. Easiest thing to do if you have a show you want to watch is signup for a free week or month and binge it and then cancel. It won't be long before they send you an offer to come back for free for a little while once again.

all this does is make a case for single service cable to meBuckna said:
less hassle, less to keep up with, less to worry about expiring, etc.

This feels like a good day to sit down with my kids and re-watch The Social Dilemma.
Certainly an option, I was a cord cutter for years before they even coined a term for it and eventually went back to cable up until last year. Even calling every year and getting Xfinity to not raise my price I am now paying less than half of what I was before with cable.
Also Nothing says you have to sign up for 8 different services. Pick one or two, rotate out occasionally. Most of the cell phone linked services are free until you cancel or change cell provider so I fail to see what the hassle is there. A few minutes of setup and a few mins a month and you can easily juggle multiple services for more options and still save quite a bit of $$$

I'm getting through it and it's certainly good but it hits on a big pet peeve of mine, when the writers take what could be an enormous world and have the entire story weaved among just a few characters.
It just feels lazy and convenient. And for all the talk of "so much tension" it's mostly because the characters are being stupid.

Yep, those sloppy mistakes are what's creating the tension as you know it's going to come back and bite them

Trial 4
Not my strongest recommendation but if you like true crime docuseries, it's worth a look. A Boston cop is murdered and the subsequent problematic investigation (suspicion of dirty cops involved) result in the quick arrest of a young black man. He's tried 3 times (2 hung juries, then a guilty verdict) before new facts about the crime, the investigation, and the officers involved come to light while he was doing life without parole.

Watched the first two episodes of “White Gold” pretty funny so far.
British comedy about sales guys.
Second episode had me laughing pretty good.

I really like this series, but I feel like they jumped around and covered so many topics this season.

Sound of Metal on Netflix - dang, it’s going to stay with me for a while. Great movie.

This show needs to be added to everyone's list.
It is utterly fantastic. I'd never heard of it prior to these couple posts.
It is absolutely worth getting a month of peacock just to watch it (or even binge it during their free trial).
Turning into one of my favorite shows ever.

Finished the 8 episodes and had a good time with this one. Really cool ambiance with the shots of Tokyo completely empty, and it had plenty of story to carry the time in between the games. Watch the trailer and dive in if it seems like it's your style.
Enjoyed it. Not going to win awards but very entertaining. Definitely will watch the next season, if they make one. Need to know what’s driving it all.

If someone has the Paramount channel with YoutubeTv, cable, Hulu Live, etc. it seems like Paramount runs marathons on a regular basis.There is a Yellowstone thread.. Also, it is a paramount show and my guess is the weekend before the next season they will replay all the previous seasons.
It is our favorite show, hands down.

I am finally watching it myself.. I'm halfway through season 2 and thoroughly enjoying it so far, even though I'm by no means an MMA fan.I just finished Kingdom (the mma one).Why they gotta do that???

I watched the HBO special on Tiger Woods, the first episode has had nothing of real substance for those of us that have followed TIgers life and career. The only real cool part for me was that they showed a lot of the Navy golf course which is real close to wear I grew up and were I still play a lot of rounds out when I visit.

Wife and I finished watching this last night and I have to agree. We thought it was ok. Agree with the "inside her head" tangents getting stale after a while. Also, not sure why they included her co-worker's (Rosie Perez) story line. It didn't add anything to the story or go anywhere.

For the latter, I figure that's something they'd continue with in a subsequent season. Don't know if there will be one or not.
Are spoiler tags not working anymore with the board upgrade?
Anyway, I figured it was to setup how the big fight in the final episode was resolved.

Counterpart on prime.
Few episodes in and enjoying it. J.K. Simmons is the lead. Everytime he is on screen, I just think back to Vern Schillenger/Oz.

The spoiler tags weren't working, so I made my post pretty generic. Don't think I ruined anything for anybody watching or considering it.
Sorry didn’t mean your post was an issue, I tried to use the spoiler tag to respond and had to redo my post.
There was a character reveal at the very end (that I believe was hinted at in one of the first episodes) that was tied to the Rosie Perez storyline. Without it that reveal would have come out of nowhere as a Deus Ex Machina resolution to Couco’s story. A weak excuse I know, I thought Rosie Perez storyline would amount to much more and maybe tie-in to the main mystery somehow.

Has anyone discussed Tennison on Amazon Prime? Wife and I watched the first two episodes yesterday and enjoyed it. It's evidently a prequel to a popular British crime show from the 90's that starred Helen Mirin.
