Disney + has virtually no appeal to me , once you take out Star Wars and Marvel both of which I have no interest in there’s very little else unless you have young children.

Saying that 'there’s very little else unless you have young children' is simply not true. That's the whole point of the Star section which is packed to the rafters with content for adults including Hulu, ABC Studios, 20th Television, 20th Century Studios and other television and films to enjoy.

Now TV is good thats as much ill get for streaming services

For what it is worth l like Netflix but its repeatable price rises make it increasingly poor value imo.

l like Disney + as it has got a lot of content our family like.

Amazon Prime is very good overall value currently although l suspect there will be a price rise coming there sometime later this year.

Now TV is only required on a intermittent basis for a couple of months once a year generally.

Sorry but I disagree and it’s very much the point , a lot of the Star content are things I’ve seen before on pay TV they don’t have enough new originals.

That’s what I think, too, although maybe things will steadily improve over time as new originals are added.

It’s a must to have really if there are children in the house (any age).

Of course it's fine for you to have a personal view on the value of the content to you, and whether there is enough of the sort of thing you are interested in. But it's another thing to state something as fact, when it's not.

The previous CEO of Disney stated in December 2021 the service needed more content for more people which says it all really.

Disney + has some excellent titles but it needs more new originals for adults who aren’t interested in it’s Marvel and Star Wars universes.

Thankfully, Disney+ is continually expanding its range of content for adults, including some local commissioning.

Until then, the vast library of original and archive films and television from the likes of FX, Hulu, ABC Studios, 20th Century Studios, 20th Television, Searchlight and National Geographic offers a huge choice for adults.

Disney+ is the go-to of my 3 (soon to be 4) streamers. As Sonic and Vince said, it is excellent value and provides the latest shows and movies from the likes of ABC, Disney, FX etc.

Finally! The good thing is, you can bookmark the programmes, too.

Now, how long before we get the other pluses, such as Discovery, Paramount, Apple…..?

We seem to be getting there, but at a snail’s pace.

This reminded me I need to look into getting the 3 months of Disney+ offer for only £6 worth of Tesco vouchers, as it seems like a bloody good deal.
