I feel like half of Netflix these days is Bollywood/Nollywood/Korean dramas no one asked for. Amazon Prime has all these random indie films on shoe-string budgets that they don't warn you about. Hulu is just weird.

Thank you Disney. Thank you so much.

Ugh I know! I hate watching people of color on TV. Where my white and animated characters at?

This was already discussed on page one. I love tv shows with quality casts and good production budgets. Don't serve me a heaping of junk food I didn't ask for and expect me to rate it 5 stars. Netflix isn't free.

If they had good diverse content added every week then I would watch. Why don't they have any of the seasons of Black-ish, Fresh Off The Boat, Queen Sugar, Being Mary Jane, Devious Maids, Power. It doesn't even have to be new! They budgeted $100 million dollars each to buy the rights to Friends and The Office. Where is Living Single or The Fresh Prince of Bel Air?

Not to mention box office successes and diverse movies like Moonlight, Crazy Rich Asians, any of Tyler Perry's collection, Hidden Figures, Us, Ocean's 8, Get Out, 12 Years A Slave, Dora and the Lost City of Gold, Glass, Angel Has Fallen, Pacific Rim Uprising

I'm tired of them charging $10-$13 but not bring any of the brand-new and box office success movies or tv programs, then acting like subbing in foreign flicks will cover it. They used to be the best place to get all the good content.

Did it ever occur to you that perhaps you aren't getting diverse content because you don't watch diverse shows? You know algorithms and all that.

Ever heard of "On My Block" or "Dear White People"? Or Ali Wong? Or Kevin Hart, or Russell Peters or Mike Epps or Ken Jeong? All on Netflix, all American or Canadian.

You just listed a bunch of comedy shows which is not the same thing as a scripted television series (some of which I've watched) and Netflix original content. Their original content is diverse which I love. But Netflix was originally started to give subscribers a way to watch premium shows and movies from a broad array of networks without signing up for cable.

They are completely slacking on that aspect. I do believe Netflix has the problem that plagued Hollywood pre-Black Panther. The notion that 'we can't cast or make all POC productions because they don't sell'. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy. In this case they aren't buying all these other property contents that are there for the taking for the same reason.

As for the algorithms, all you have to do is search netflix by added content and you'll see the breakdown I mention. Not hard if you're not relying just on them to tell you what you'd like.

It was my fave growing up!

Nope.

And they don’t have Wish Upon A Star.

So far I’m not impressed.

You pick two of the most basic moves in Disney Channel history and that's supposed to mean something to us?

You can watch either for free on Youtube for god's sake.

Oh, trust me, I do! But it's terrible quality. Every so often I Google Model Behavior DVD to see if I can find one. I wish I hadn't given up my VHS tape of it. And still had a VHS player.

Wasn't that show Bug Juice on Disney? It was about going to summer camp. It made me want to go to camp and then when my mom finally relented and sent me, it was nothing like the show, of course. I was prepared for drama and instead got a lot of diarrhea and bug bites.

Yes, originally, but that has shifted. You can choose not to subscribe if you don't like what they have evolved into. I personally like that I can watch "On My Block" and "Master of None" ... both shows that are unique and not found elsewhere. If you want more mainstream shows, go to Hulu.

How old are you two? Netflix was originally created to replace blockbuster and let you rent and return movies and TV shows on DVD in the mail

It actually still does that. I subscribe to Netflix online AND Netflix DVD. The amount of premium content on these two services is night-and-day. Netflix DVD has ALL the biggest films and tv shows the momenth they're released. While Netflix online is scrapping Bollywood flicks and Swedish dramas.

Its fine but if you were to compare the two services based on content - one is far stronger.

Being Mary Jane has been on here for a few years now. Also, I just watched Love Jones on Netflix the other night.

Are Disney + shows/movies downloadable? Netflix and Amazon Prime let me download things for when we’re on the plane or off the grid. Hulu does not. What about Disney +?

As someone who is south Asian I just want to say that quality to you is stuff you have heard of. There us actually a lot of content on Netflix and amazon prime that is catering to Indian audiences WHO are watching it and know the stars. For example, sacred games has a very famous Indian actor in it and is based on a well known Indian author. Just because it’s not sounding millionaire and didn’t win an Oscar doesn’t mean it’s not quality and it’s crap. This is such a “white-centric” view of quality and so so obnoxious.

I signed up and am loving it. I think there is a void of family programming these days. I don’t want to watch Paw Patrol but Cars has enough adult jokes to keep me engaged. It’s something that appeals to all members of the family. You can find a show without language, violence, or sex. Add to it that they have brought back a lot of the favorites that the bill payer grew up with and there is a touch of nostalgia.

can you have multiple users on the same account? like netflix allows you several users (although only a couple can be active at once or whatever)?

Yes but if you have Verizon wireless how do you watch on your TV? Am I that dense? Just download an app to your smart TV?

I signed up through verizon on my phone. I directed me to the disney + website and prompted me to enter my email and a password to make a disney + account. I downloaded the disney + app on my tv and logged in with my email and password. Very easy.

I was finally able to do just this. Very glitchy for me to get to this simple point.
