Will be interested to see how they do it, but still totally baffled by the u-turn ending with respect to his daughter.

Not sure if I mentioned it before but Hellbound (Korean) is watchable, creepy and an unusually unique concept. Twist at the end is intriguing too.

I recently watched S1 of Alice in Borderland, a Tokyo version of Squid Games. Recommended.

After three years membership i've just cancelled my Netflix. They're talking about adding adverts for a lower subscription, next step will be pay higher not to get adverts.
So has anyone got other recommendations to pay for, I already pay towards Amazon Prime, ta.
 
It seems like a hard question. Are there any legal services that are close to Netflix for mainstream content? I don't think so, but it depends on your viewing tastes. Disney+ is an option, but it has different content.

I've been streaming/downloading for about 25 years now (from when download speeds made it viable) but I could never limit myself to a single legal service, so I don't. I download content and warch it in a media player.

My current setup uses a home server (a PC/device that is always on, but doesn't need to be I guess) to automatically read and download new episodes as they come out for the TV series I want, then display/view it in Plex, which is a media app for smart tvs/mobile etc. This provides a netflix type interface with episode information/series etc. There are other options to a PC for a server.

I can expand on how this works if anyone is interested. Its pretty simple to set up. If you don't have a spare device you could use a laptop or something but it would only download/let you playback episodes when it is on. With an always on device you can connect to it from anywhere at any time.
