I figured the best way to purchase is to subscribe for one month, watch all you want, and then stop. Repeat when new series that you are interested in show up again.
Again I really think this business model is stretching for them. I would rather to subscribe on a full catalog of all classic movies and Documentaries before the year 2000 and I can subscribe that for many years.

- hnthrowaway0315 5y agoYeah I guess it depends. Most of Netflix movies and series are boring so I usually just want 1-2 of them. One month is too long for me already.
- marvinblum 5y agoYou can do the same on Amazon for free. I get a free month at least once a year, when they try to get me back in. I usually also buy a single month on Disney+ and watch the handful of good movies and shows that came out since my last subscription.
- hnthrowaway0315 5y agoYeah I watched a month of Disney too, they frankly have more good old classic than Netflix.
- alkonaut 5y agoThey realize that people might do this, and they of course know exactly how many are doing exactly this. And currently it's not many enough to be a threat to their bottom line. What happens when it does become an issue, is that shows roll out with episodes every week (so you must wait a season until you can binge watch), and also that per-months subscriptions become more expensive while yearly subscriptions become cheaper.
