Not everyone is reading my home thread, more people might be interested in Netflix though.
I downloaded it on Monday and have been watching more of "Anne with an E" free of charge :grin2: (I was watching it at Heike´s). If I want to carry on with Netflix then after 30 days I start to pay 7.99€ a month.
"Anne with an e " is "Anne of Green Gables" . in case you didn´t know and I am thoroughly enjoying it, better than all the blood and guts and fantasy stuff Netflix has.
I have never read the book and didn´t realise it all happens in Canada, but I bet there aren´t many who have never heard of the classic.
There are 3 prices for Netflix in this country, maybe the same everywhere I don´t know.

Tonight I spent a well worth it 4.99€ on Prime, to watch the film Downton Abbey 2 .

It wasn't final I don´t think, another must come.

I thought it was way better than the first film. Yes I bet there will be others. Probably world war 2 next

I watched the whole series twice, once when I was with Heike & Jürgen for 3 months in 2019 and then again just before I took off at Easter, no doubt I will watch it again in a year or two (if I can still work the telly

) then I´ll watch the 2 films again.
If I can´t find anything else to watch over the winter I might watch Breaking Bad again.
A few of the things I have tried to watch are stupid stories, bad acting or too violent.
The American army stuff they are showing is too much.

It may have been mentioned in the previous 116 pages but if you liked Breaking Bad then Better call Saul is a great spin off.
After Downton I went back and watched the boxset of Upstairs Downstairs.................I think I really wanted to have been born Upstairs
Also just finished Stranger Things.............a bit gruesome in parts but an interesting storyline.

Oh yes that was another lovely series, I wonder how many of the actors are still alive

I must now look to see if I can download Downton A 2 and put it on a stick after paying 4.99€ to watch it, I´m not sure if you can download from Prime.

No season 2 announced yet by Netflix but it sounds good Jan. Will give it a go.

When are they going to reduce the price as they are haemorrhaging members.

Are you talking about Netflix Raymond? I am quite happy paying 7.99€ per month as I can’t get any other English speaking entertainment programs here. In the winter months it’s my saving grace and the last few days being confined to house because of the heat I watch from late afternoon.

We are still getting it for free from my son and I hesitate to ask him how much it is now in case he starts charging me

Yes Jan.
I was quite happy paying the €7.99 especially when in Portugal. But then they hiked the fee up to €8.99 for no apparent reason other than greed when we have 200+ channels anyway.

I try to keep within our budget on everything so we don't 'run out'.

You are very lucky where you live Ray, lots of activity with friends and neighbours some of whom speak your native tongue, I don´t think anyone else who is living over this side of the water leads the kind of life you do, in fact I doubt if many living in their own country have a social life like yours. Maybe if I lived your life I wouldn't want Netflix either and as you admit you have 200+ other Chanels to watch, where from?

Yep, life is busy all the time here Jan.
Especially recently accommodating a homeless widow while she tries unsuccessfully to get all her ducks in order to move onto seeking another house/life in Spain.
I am always amazed at how many holes she keeps digging in.

A very moving film sadly based on true events.
Hard to believe Steve Coogan played so many comedy characters in the past.
Of course Alan Partridge, but I particularly liked when he played Paul and Pauline Calf in Three Fights Two Weddings and a Funeral

I never liked his comedy stuff, I only watched it because Judi Dench was in it, but he was very good in it too.

There was a time when I didn’t enjoy it G. but it grows on you after a while, same as Breaking Bad, it took me a while to get into that, then I didn’t want it to end.
