Is Netflix worth it?

I myself have had Netflix for years and over time have developed an intricate love hate relationship with the service, I love having it but hate paying to sift through a lot of rubbish to find the few good TV series/Films that it contains. Do not however let that description put you off ever using Netflix though, I only find myself in the dilemma of having to try and find good things to watch as I have watched just about everything Netflix has to offer. 

Like many Netflix users I have found myself going through many stages with it over the years:

• Used the free trial
• Paid for it myself 
• Deleted it
• Got it back again 
• Deleted it again 
• Used my girlfriends 

Netflix offer users the opportunity to use it's services on a month to month basis, there is no long term obligation which is great as this allows users the opportunity to come and go as they please depending on if they are enjoying what is currently available. This is something I have taken advantage of having deleted my subscription twice.

What are the alternatives?

In my search for the best TV series an films at the touch of a button I have come across a variety of alternatives available to users on the web; some legal and some not so. This however is not something I will delve into deeply as I don't plan to incriminate myself by detailing things I may or may not have done to watch TV and film ;-) I will however talk about another service I currently use at the moment alongside Netflix.

Now TV

Now TV is a service run by sky that allows users the chance to sign up to a monthly subscription to live stream TV and films via a variety of electronic devices. It is a service that I use alongside Netflix, I like to have the opportunity to have a backup option if Netflix does not have anything that appeals to me at that moment in time.

Now TV unfortunately though splits everything into separate subscriptions allowing you to watch films for the price of £10 a month, to watch TV it is a further £6.99 a month which is certainly more expensive than Netflix which offers both services for one monthly cost. Although Now TV has a lot more better selections to offer its users it is far more expensive and would always push me towards Netflix if I had to make a decision between the two.
