But a lot of people want that, MM. There needs to be something for everyone.
I have had no difficulty at all picking out what we want to see from Netflix and Amazon and these are all originals. So I don't begrudge having stuff on those services that I don't want to see. However, with pay TV channels, it is a right old chore trying to pick out the very few good programmes from all the junk.
That's why I say Netflix and Amazon are much better value for money and at a cheaper price.

Most people do, Max. The only people I am aware of who disagree are the usual naysayers on this forum! I'm sure they are only denying what the rest of us know is true for the hell of it.

It's nowhere near a half, but I certainly won't be counting them!

We're not talking about sport, Raider, we are talking about general entertainment such as TV series, films and documentaries.
We all agree that sport is a completely different kettle of fish.

We've seen every series of The Americans and found the programme very enjoyable, but it's not to everyone's taste I guess.
