Canceled My Netflix Subscription Temporarily

[JustDave]

A good friend of mine was really into Westworld. Despite the fact that excellent actors such as Anthony Hopkins and Jeffrey Wright, not to mention that cutie James Marsden, I just couldn't get into it.

The original movie with Yul Brynner, Richard Benjamin, and James Brolin was unique and well done. The series had better production values, and started out OK, but the seasons that followed got drawn out, and lost the momentum of the original. It had a great premise, but got bogged down somehow. I actually bought each season as they came out on DVD because I was hoping it would find it's footing. It got overly complicated, too much for me. There were a few loose ends that needed to be resolved.

Couldn't have put it better myself, @JustDave !!!

I didn't see the movie, but remember seeing promos of Yul in the black hat.

Looks interesting, OED! I might watch it once there are a full two seasons available. As to Westworld, I had to overcome a lot of initial reluctance to watch because of the extreme brutality, even though the characters affected were A.I. But since I like Sci-Fi I stayed with the show and learned to enjoy its intricacy re. the battle between humans vs. artificially created beings who developed all too human traits.

It's Netflix. All the episodes (5) for S2 of Invisible City are there.

Well, I expected to keep Netflix a little longer before canceling again but
~I realized they jacked up the price by 84%!
~I'm having trouble streaming Netflix when using my Roku..it buffers for too long.
~Netflix sometimes causes Roku to freeze. I know it's Netflix because none of the two issues are happening with my other streaming services.

One of their fixes was delete, then reinstall the app. I did that once, I'm not going to keep doing that because I have to sign in again each time and it's a pain when using the Roku. I feel that since I'm paying 84% more I deserve much better service.

I've noticed Netflix doing a short freeze every 5 - 10 minutes. I don't remember that the last time I signed up for Netflix. It's short, and I can live with it, but it's not a precised stream.
