dib Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I was thinking about signing up for netflix to watch breaking bad. I know it's only 7$ a month, but is netflix and breaking bad worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 yes, but your gonna be pissed when you cant finish the show b/c newest Eps arent on netflix there are other great series to make the 7 dollars even more worth it: Lilyhammer, West Wing (if you never got on the train), House of Cards, Arrested Development, Trailer Park Boys (just to name a few) I do the streaming only Netflix for 7.99 a month and id say I usually get my monies worth (however, there are months like this one where I have not turned netflix on once....)

Gugny Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I was thinking about signing up for netflix to watch breaking bad. I know it's only 7$ a month, but is netflix and breaking bad worth it? I think it's $8/month and I think it's worth it if you're going to catch up on an entire series. I have it, but it's solely for my son's use. It's a good service and it can be used on multiple devices; just not simultaneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 It is completely worth it... way more worth it than Cable/Satellite at that price. Breaking Bad is awesome. Im on Season 3, I watch it slowly/savor it. I noticed they did have the 1st half of Season 5 up pretty quickly. They also have very good Netlix-Original programming.

Chef Jim Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 In my mind Netflix is worth the $7. I only wish they had more older TV shows. I'd kill for them to have Get Smart. Keep in mind they don't keep shows there forever. I decided I'd get back into South Park and was surprised to see it gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 What PaatMaan said. Orange is the New Black is pretty good, too. I think the Knuckleball movie is up there, now, too. While the online viewing is more restricted than the DVD selection, it's still worth having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I just got Netflix in September. I finished season 4 of Breaking Bad last night. My main purpose for getting it was that show and a few others I have never seen. I was hoping to get a few more movies out of the streaming service, but it is lacking a bit there. The TV shows do seem to be well worth the money though. I am about to get one unexpected result from signing up. I haven't seen an episode of Cheers in ages, so I'm looking forward to going through the entire series at some point. I was thinking mostly newer TV shows when I signed up, but I found a few other things I never even thought of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 ive been using amazon prime streaming services - and get the free 2 day shipping on all my orders too. not sure if BB is streaming there, but they have a decent size library and i order a TON of day to day things on there with the free shipping. Thats $79 for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhg Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The $7 a month is worth it if you want to watch a season(s) of a TV series. Their original series "House of Cards" is outstanding. Can't wait for season 2 of that. Only bad thing about Netflix is that since they changed how the subscriptions work, the selection of movies that stream isn't the best selection.

ajzepp Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 This makes your netflix viewing much more productive...they have way more stuff than I ever gave them credit for: www.instantwatcher.com They have an app, as well. And as I posted in another thread recently, SuperHD is the real deal...beautiful 1080p streams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, ive been a SAMCRO fan for years now, but im just over it - every episode is like a grand theft auto mission - problem arises, go beat someones ass, get business out of it....ill finish watching it until the end as a fan....but I just wish it went different places (very good acting for the most part though, and some of the plot is top notch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say, however, that I enjoyed the earlier seasons more than the later ones. I have yet to watch an episode of season 6. DVR'ing it right now, and will watch as soon as I catch up.

Chef Jim Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 there is a streaming service available to prime members??? There is. We did a good amount of research when we got Roku. We settled with Netflix. Amazon Prime was ok and we probably would have kept it if we bought a lot from them but we don't. So it came down to Hulu and Netflix. Content was very similar but the navigation for Netflix was better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assquatch Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It's called Prime instant Video and it comes free with all Prime memberships. I got it in the first place to watch Justified because Netflix didn't have it and it's been pretty good otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) there is a streaming service available to prime members??? yup. i dont use it a ton but its not a terrible library (also has paid options for rental of hit movies and shows). i just looked, and i think breaking bad is at a cost, but Sons of Anarchy you can do seasons 1-4 free, and 5-6 are for purchase for example. i know cheers was mentioned up thread and thats 100% free too. also has access to the kindle lending library and some free book options. prime really is the best deal around. ill tell anyone that will listen to sign up. its all easy, and amazon has been awesome with customer service.
