I've had Netflix for about 6 months now and am enjoying it. My gf and I pay for our cable and it's an absolute joke for the price - we're locked in for a lil under another year. It's a good thing I enjoy watching live sports with the convenience of not using Reddit. Other than sports and ESPN, we mainly and rarely watch channels like History, Travel, Discovery, HGTV, etc.
The first show we watched together was Breaking Bad. It was good, but I'm not sure I liked it as most people did. My favorite show of all time is Dexter, even though I know its flaws and how disappointing the season ending was. So naturally, we watched Safe and it was mediocre.
We enjoyed the Umbrella Academy, Formula 1, and The Big Catch off the top of my head. We've watched things like Iron Fist and Dare Devil and thought they were meh.
We're currently watching the Order. It's probably the worst written and acted series I've ever seen that I don't mind if I finish. My gf enjoys it and she usually doesn't watch anything even slightly scary (it's not, but there are parts that still disturb her.) She won't watch Stranger Things with me.
Triple Frontier was slow and a mediocre for me. Never watched Bird Box. I'm a huge fan of Jake Gyllenhaal (top 3 favorite actor) and I was so let down by Velvet Buzzsaw.
We've watched lots of other solid movies on Netflix. I wasn't upset by their price increase. They have a great product.
