Jus' weighing up the £5.99 a month outlay. Whole family would use it, mummy, daddy, 5year old & 3year old.

Depends what you've seen already. House of Cards is worth it.

For the price of a couple of beers a week? Totally worth it. Use it most days. Good selection of stuff and a lot more convenient (and legal) way of watching films and tv shows.

+1 House of Cards. Currently watching Dexter too. You will be disappointed of you've seen the US version though, there is much less choice

I think it's worth it. If you get bored with the UK selection you can switch to the US or Canadian ones with Unblock US.

They do a free trial, so it won't cost you anything to find out.

I am a Netflixs and LoveFilm user, I would say LF is better value, films seem to update more and better, however as mentioned above if you can get it opened up to view the US stuff then its a winner.

We found NF a most frustrating experience. Having joined and hoped for up to date films we found one or two, but the vast majority was just rubbish which should have never seen the light of day. We would waste our evenings trying to find something worth watching.

As to whether it is any better than LF I can't comment having never joined. If you like some of the specific shows NG exclusively supplies then all good, but otherwise save your money and spend it on something else.

NF is pretty poor for films, but there's loads of great TV shows on there. The Canadian one had a much better film selection.

I think it's well worth it but yes, you do have to work sometimes to find decent films.
Some great series on there.

I asked a similar question recently.

We didn't bother in the end. We pick up films as and when from charity shops.
The shelves are overflowing now, we'll have to start taking them back soon.
