We have recently subbed to Disney too, so something has to give...

I got over principle with regards to this sort of thing a while ago. I don't think it's affordable in the age of 900 streaming platforms. Go for the ones you need/really want and only for the limited time you need them for.

We use P+ for Paw Patrol for my niece too - but I think that proves your point more than it strengthens mine 😂 There's too many streamers - I was about to kick Netflix then Kaleidoscope and 90s Show appeared. I recently renewed Apple for a month too to watch Ted Lasso for the first time. In other more exciting news - Picard and the gang are back this week!! 🖖 The early reviews are calling this the best Trek in 25 years. Which I think we can all agree is quite the claim.

roflaherty Feb 2023 8:24am, 14 Feb 2023 285 posts	Quote Pin roflaherty I know, I know, but the critics are saying that it's best Trek since the 90s Trek. Even the most vocal reviewers who have slated Picard up to now have agreed that this is a return to form. We'll know for sure in ten weeks time, but early indications are positive for now!
