Do you remember Pimp My Ride?

Well on Netflix they've got a new show called Resurrected Rides. Basically a carbon copy of it. Just found it and I'm going to give it a go. Need to kill some time before I go to bed.

Its aight....only watched one episode though...Why cant Netflix make their own Top Gear or street racing series with some decent cars in it. I think Amazon is better value now.

Time killer but not amazing.

Personally I find Amazon boring apart from a few shows. Netflix is much better. It's where alot of my TV watching comes from alongside Sky TV.

Good thing about Amazon they get lots of movies and series first, they have British TV shows from 10 to 25 years ago that people missed. Also you get extra perks like faster deliveries etc. Overall value is better. 

 

Netflix has gone down the appease everyone route with a lot of stories appealing to modern thinking lol...Epic fail. The saving grace is big budget sci fi that couldn't cut it as Star Wars offspring and sold to second choice Netflix, the odd show like Virgin River (filmed in lovely Vancouver) and the odd hidden gem with subtitles 😂

I didn't, I was fully aware and around at that time 😭

I'm well into Sci Fi and that's why Netflix works for me.

Most importantly, the UX on Prime Video is utterly appalling compared to Netflix. Disney + is better than Prime by a mile too, and even that has issues.

I heard good things about Disney and its not just animated series on there.

Far from it, the vast majority is live action and there’s a good mix between TV and movies. Of course the kiddy stuff is there (a godsend if you have children like me!), and some of the self produced Marvel and Star Wars stuff is hit and miss, but for the most part it’s quality output. Certainly gets watched more in this house than Prime does by about 10:1.

 

Netflix remains the go-to though.
