Brilliant thanks! Trying to negotiate us off having any kind of subscription past Amazon (have it for parcels anyway) and Netflix and currently on sky where people want x y or z program. With access to those anyway and a decent interface thats sold. Idk why people ignore the rasp pi with terabytes of stuff on it other than it doesn't have new stuff if you don't download to it. Which everyone already knows how to do....
OK, I’ll fucking watch it, alright? Jesus.

No, fear. I’m just not that into technical stuff. I’m not thick. I’ve been home computing since the ZX80. But my brain is full now, and it’s all moved on too far. I’m done with footering around. I want to flick a switch and something to come on.
Silas is correct in that I always recommend Flixtor, rather than pissing about with Downloader, RDB and pirate builds. It's far more straightforward to set up, gives you immediate access to pretty much everything that's out there in full HD, and the interface is better than Amazon/Netflix. You also don't have to bother about VPNs, streams dropping out, and providers shutting down.
Silas Loom not sure what you mean by you can't install it on a Firestick. Open Amazon Silk on the Firestick, go to flixtor.si and you're in. I don't use Silk for anything else, so that app is effectively Flixtor. As simple as using Netflix.
Happy to take you through it by PM if you like.
It’s steps though. I’m fed up with steps. I want to press play and watch.
You still have to pay the subscriptions to get the services you want though, don't you? They aren't free.
Absolutely fair dos mate.
I find modern life too complicated. I don’t like interfaces. I don’t like buying a new thing then finding I have to learn new things in order to use it. Then those skills becoming obsolete. I was really good at Windows 95. I was really good at texting with the number pad. Really fast and accurate. But now I get fed up logging into each TV app, finding the user, clicking that, working out the platform’s interface, finding the programme, finding the right episode.
Actual fucking LOL here
See also the so-called 'enjoyment' of crap tv. Crap tv is simply crap, not somehow 'good' because it's crap. Makes me want to smash things up.
YES!
Astrid et Raphaëlle is on C4 / streaming on All4 as Astrid: Murder in Paris. It's very good. Or at least seasons 1 and 2 are, I haven't caught up on season 3 yet.I didn’t fancy Industry. I’ll give the Agency a go when it comes out.
I’m also awaiting the English language version of Astrid et Raphaëlle, and the next seasons of the Silo and 3 Body Problem.
Argh, you've reminded me that I haven't seen the latest season yet. (Thank you!) So many good films and series to catch up on.
Yeah, I watched it all. I love Astrid. She’s wonderful.
I'd heard The Bureau was really good. In fact, I signed up to Prime so that I could watch it (and Project Runway - like the Bake-Off, but American, and for fashion designers, like the Sewing Bee, but more brutal and cut-throat and bitchy), but I haven't got round to it yet. Not least because it's one of the reasons I subscribed, but then it turned out that it costs extra to watch it. Grrr!
I fucking hate Prime! Their model is pay to join, then pay extra for anything you actually want to see. Hate, hate, hate. They won’t be getting any more from me.
The Good Fight is brilliant, in some ways even better than The Good Wife, the original series from which is was spun-off. I don't know how they were getting away with some of the Trump stuff. Brilliant characters, strong women.
Yeah, I'm reluctant, although I've just double-checked and I can potentially watch them all without paying if I do a free trial via Prime to Paramount+. But that would require a lot of binge watching, which I can't do at the moment. Maybe I might over Christmas, if the offer is still available.
