But their original content is racing towards terrible, which I actually find far more annoying than the ever reducing amount of content. I'm right on the brink of cancelling. There's no way in hell I'm going to subscribe to multiple services.

Even where they start strong they rapidly pivot and either completely and irretrievably ruin it, cancel before it got half a chance, or simply start stretching content way, way beyond breaking point. Entire seasons can feel like they started as two episodes. So just the same unique selling point as everyone else then. Why aren't those large budgets showing in script writing?

So I end up skipping far more of later seasons than I watch, and soon stop entirely...

Wild. I think some of the best tv of the past couple of years is on Netflix. Dark, Haunting of Hill House, Glitch, American Vandal, Sex Education, just off the top of my head as top shows in recent history. Solid shows like Now You See Me just having come out. Solid movies like Always Be My Maybe just come out. Then guilty pleasure shows that are good too like Sabrina. And shows on networks that likely aren’t going to pull content for their own service like BBC shows with top notch content like The Fall are on Netflix too.

If I was stuck with one companies original new content. I don’t see how I wouldn’t pick Netflix for now.
