Netflix is, I think, 350 baht or so per month. I for one can't be arsed to download torrents for that price.

Yes, but there is a lot more content about, that NF doesn't have.

The Queen's Gambit. - Netflix.

 

Quite enjoyed this one even though I'm not into chess.

 

 

I don't think you'd need chess knowledge to enjoy the story, I'm two episodes into it and find it very good.

It's based on a novel by Walter Tevis who also wrote the books for The Hustler, The Color of Money and The Man Who Fell to Earth.

Not only that but you can download an entire TV series and not be at the whim of the NF programmers.

Netflix won me over with the subtitles, (I'm as deaf as a post) a lot of torrent sites downloads don't come with them and it involves searching the subtitle sites for matching subs.

I strike a happy medium, some TPB, some NF.

I'm a bit hard of hearing myself and will always look for movies or TV shows that have subs, but if they don't, there's always Subscene to find and attach the subs. Rarely they don't have the subs I want.

I don’t mind paying NF, I also have appleTV+ which is now free until next Feb’ .. but I’d go crazy if I relied upon it, I find a lot of content and recommendations so generic. 

 

I like NF for the Thai subs, it saves a lot of explaining.

 

I have also noticed on fb, some people sharing their Plex libraries for 1200B a year.

Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult

This cult and their leader are very topical at the moment.

Enjoying this series more than the other one called The Vow.
And I liked the Vow.

Summary: Seduced follows India Oxenberg's abuse and her own culpability inside the NXIVM cult, an organization marketed as a self-help group.

If a movie or TV series has subs available uploader "ION10" on RARBG  will almost certainly have them, usually he also has the smallest file size.

A quite nice feel good movie "About Time" (2013)

 

At the age of 21, Tim discovers he can travel in time and change what happens and has happened in his own life. His decision to make his world a better place by getting a girlfriend turns out not to be as easy as you might think.

Really surprised by this one; was expecting the run of the mill rom-com, but it is so much more than that; it's about family and the smiles and cries of life. The whole film was filled with charm, wit and had its fair share of heartfelt moments. Time travel is a subject that has been visited many times in the film industry, but this had its own unique touch to it.

Thanks for reminding me about that one. I came across it on Netflix and watched it again. I must have been in a different mood when I first saw it years ago but found it much funnier this time round.

Despite my comment on this a few days ago, about seeing the end first and how I hate that. I am enjoying this series very much

I subscribe to a Plex library. Thousands of movies and tv shows with subtitles if needed. Very high quality also.

Well worth it for a small once off payment.

Tell us more, I was thinking about putting my Jellyfin library out there for fun, I built a new server, but I am scared about dealing with subscribers with stuttering playback at peak times,  it apparently I should be able to accommodate 50 subscribers.

Further to my earlier post about subs from RARBG.

 

It may not always be obvious that a movie has subs, you have to scroll down to and click "Show Files" . If it has .srt then that is the subs file.

 

 

Sometimes there will be little flags just under the heading which show what language subs are available, the Union Jack is obviously for English. These are separate files to download subs for that movie.

 

If there is more than one flag for English it just means that one of the files is just subs for speech and one is for speech plus atmospheric content like "somber music" and "train whistle in distance " .

 

Another point about subs, sometimes the subs come in sub/idx format which some players can't handle (my Tv don't like them) then you can download from one of the little flags which are always .srt.
