Netflix. They have been very busy starting new contracts and widening their contacts. The Netflix originals that I've seen are all great. My friend at the Toronto film school told me they're even working on something with Netflix so I'm exacted for that. The opportunities for the less greats is at a good place rn imo and that is a big reason why I continue to pay with no complaints even with the price rise for their old customers that occured not too long ago

Netflix has a pretty good collection of Originals. The Daredevil and Punisher series are among my favorites.

I have access to all three, but netflix is really the only one I use. I don't think I've ever touched amazon's service. The few things Hulu has to offer I've either already seen or I just stream it online. Netflix is always coming out with their new originals, and aside from a few I've watched, they're all really good.
RE: Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Hulu? - Jiggly - 01-23-2018
I've never used Hulu in my life, and so can't comment on it.
Compliments:
Netflix - I love their content, but find myself running out of stuff I enjoy on there, once I've gone through new season releases and their originals. Though, that's happened more so since I swapped from UK Netflix to US Netflix. Maybe I should just use a VPN
I also love how clean the player is and the skip intro option is a GODSEND. Amazon Prime - They're getting some pretty good prime originals, and I really like the x-ray (I believe it's called) feature where you hover and get shit tons of info like actors/music playing/trivia etc. The jump forward/back ten seconds option is another GODSEND.
I'm totally 50/50. I kinda wish everything that's good about the two would just merge. I use them equally.
Complaints:
However, Netflix does keep changing their menus for searching for shows. Like, when you click on a genre, it lists what's on your list, what's popular etc. I wish that crap would go away. I just want an alphabetical or ranked list, not what they're suggestions are. I rarely find their suggestions are anything like what I'm after. I also don't like that some of the genre options, I use to use all the time, have disappeared. In addition, they now only let me search TV shows OR movies - can't search both at the same time. These are my niggles with Netflix, which will probably change in 6 months when they update it all again - which they do very frequently it seems!

I will never recommend paid services like Netflix again. After finding out about Kodi, specifically the Covenant add-on, and having the setup I have now - I haven't paid for probably thousands of movies and TV channels.

What do you mean you swapped ? I've been trying everything to watch US Netflix and I can't.

Oh forgive me, I mean I literally moved countries from UK to US.

While we're on this topic, does anyone actually know any up to date way to watch other locations' Netflix ?

Not through Netflix itself. They're tied by contract agreements and so on and so forth. VPN is the only solution I'm aware of. (Someone who is more knowledgeable may have a better suggestion, though.)
