Netflix had it's time

I know people are going to disagree with a lot of what I say. I have used Netflix on different devices and different counties.
Where to start.
-it would be nice if it looked and acted the same on all devices. I base this on use on PC, Roku, IPad and Samsungs
-to have the same options in all countries. Some things are dubbed in english in the USA but in Canada the same shows are only subtitled in english.
-not all things that are available in the USA are in other parts of the world, like Canada
-when you go in to a show it would be nice if it did not start right away. I like to read what ot is about before choosing to view it.
-instead of playing a clip from a movie when scrolling over it a trailer would be better.
-to make it easier to delete off of you continue to watch list.

There are a couple of good streaming service i use over Netflix and some of them are free like tubi.

Kudos

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2204 KP) rated Thrice the Brinded Cat Hath Mew'd (Flavia de Luce, #8) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

It’s December 1951, and Flavia is back from her exile in Canada. However, her welcome home doesn’t go as planned. Her father is sick and in the hospital, and her older sisters and younger cousin are as obnoxious as ever. However, she finds the perfect distraction when an errand to the next village ends with her finding the body of a wood carver hanging upside down from his bedroom door.

As much as I enjoyed Flavia’s adventure in Canada, it was good to be back in familiar surroundings with familiar characters. The usual crew are up to their usual antics, which was fun. I especially enjoy Flavia’s interactions with her cousin since she doesn’t see the parallels between that and her old sisters. The mystery was good and a focus of much of the book, although I did figure a couple pieces of it out early. Still, the ending surprised me.
