Netflix loses most (or all?) of its BBC shows at the end of the month. I'm gonna freak out...

Damn, because I've been watching Coupling here the past week or so and it's probably the funniest British show that I've seen (not that I've seen many mind you) since Are You Being Served?

am i the only one on here that uses amazon instant video more than netflix?

i guess if i didn't already subscribe to amazon prime for the 2-day shipping, and use it all the time, i would still be using netflix more myself.

I have both but Amazon only has a few shows and movies that Netflix doesn't have. The Americans is worth watching on Amazon if you ever get the chance.

I gave up after ep 3 ( I think).

I have heard it got good near the end of the season, so I MAY give it a second chance, but I would need to be BORED.

I use amazon video for prime freebies and renting movies. The HBO stuff is a nice bonus, and I use the crap out of their music service.

Why's you give up? And thanks for responding. You're the only one to ever reply to me and give your opinion and it helps me decide what to watch and stuff

So thanks buddy :suds:

Np. I just reply to posts that I have something to say about... :suds:

It was weak writing and CRAPPY SFX.

If you like the typical zombie genre (non-TWD), you may like it. It clearly does not take itself seriously. Prob is, for me, that if you watch shows while putting yourself in the situations, you get confused since "world physics" are not consistent and all characters are morons.

Maybe I wasn't watching it with the right eyes...

Zombie shit is so 2013. Unless you "use" bath salts of course. Then you're probably hungry for a human head.

Haven't watched Z-nation yet. Was thinkin about getting into it.

The newest season of the Walking Dead was pretty badass... I almost gave up on it because of how boring and predictable it got, but they sort of revamped it.

And apparently Netflix and the BBC have worked out their issues. Sounds like most of the BBC stuff is staying put. Will lose a few that are due to rotate off though.

I was t saying z nation was emmy worthy. Just thought it was a refreshing series since i ran out of shit to watch.

I actually think its different from most other zombie shows. More like a scream, feast, cabin fever type feel. Instead of everyone being bad ass, it puts the humor like WHAT WOULD PEOPLE REALLY DO? I like how the characters can be cowards in some situations. Plus it moves fast. Doesnt take a whole season to drive 40 miles. More action and humor. Not to mention no character is safe after seeing michael from lost get it in the 1st episode.

Ill finish watching it in my spare time and im not a big zombie fan. I seen it got picked up for a second season

Right z nation is the opposite of waling dead. Moves faster, has alot of humor, almost same situations but the way they deal with it is so different from walking even tho it may be the same outcome. Ive only watched 7 episodes so far but its entertaining.

Watched "The Interview" last night on Netflicks...no wonder that NK leader hacked into Sony. Awful movie...I give it a 1/2 star for cinematography only.

really? I watched it on netflix and thought it was worth what I paid :happy:

really, it is right where I thought it would be. There are a couple of lines that made me laugh. Can't recall any right now, but I didn't have any moments where I was thinking "sheesh, just end already".

^ Sorry Ford...I suffered thru that "free" movie.

But I did like hearing that because of all the competition for streaming videos that each service will have to compete by showing better videos now. Things are looking up I spose.

Everyone should watch it ASAP. Sends the message that studios can make money by putting first run movies straight to homes.

Good point.

The SFX were actually quite good.
