That's pretty much what I came here to say. I do like their original content, BUT...
I want that "last year's movies" that I used to be able to get from them, and now seems to be going to crap.
The quality of their original stuff is very good. And they've got good coverage of non-original TV, too (e.g., reruns of "Friends"). But when you get to movies-from-theatres, they're just not there at all anymore.
I think this is intentional on their part, but they need to be careful, because Amazon also seems to be doing well with a similar strategy (e.g., "Man in the High Castle"). Netflix's original mission of movies could be what sets them apart but it seems to be all but abandoned.
- nikofeyn 10y agoyea, and actually, the movies i get through the hbo go app are often far superior to netflix's offerings. they rotate, but they often include major releases. i have been thinking about canceling netflix's streaming and returning to the dvd option to get more access.
