I've been thinking about it for months now , the quality went downhill over the last few years , that's crazy ...
.... and that's the only reason i kept crave , i wait and hope that once the strike is over the quality will get up.
In the mean time , i got Disney + for 1.99$ for 3 months , it.s giving me time to decide what i will do with crave

Removing the streaming channels really killed it for me. I let it slide for a few months and the wife wanted to finish the Sex and the City sequel, but as soon as that was over I cancelled.
I had Disney for the last few years through someone else's sub, but she cancelled it 6 months ago and I didn't bother with it, until, like you, I saw the initial 3 month price a week or so ago, so I took it up. Now, I'm not sure if it was because I was stuck on a PG14 account, but there seems to be a lot more stuff now. Almost all the fox movies and shows are there. Got plenty of stuff to watch. Finally got to finish Loki, which I really liked.

Last night, I watched the very first episode of The Continental on Prime and I think we have a winner if the series is as good as the first episode.
The Continental rings a bell, you say? Seems oddly familiar? Is it about a buffet restaurant? A voyaging ship? Actually if the name sounds familiar, it's because it's the Continental from the John Wick movies. Yes, that Continental. The historical Flatiron.
First off, it's a prequel series that follows Winston in his early pre-Continental grand poopah days. The story has some modern GoT vibes. A lot of interesting, intersecting characters and stories, sex, violence and scheming. I don't particularly like the John Wick movies, although I've seen all 4 movies, even the last two ones in theater. I don't particularly like John Wick. The character, that is, but the underworld universe they've created around him since the sequel, I really really like, so this is right up my alley.
Cast is strong, set and cinematography are good. Contrarily to John Wick, it actually has an interesting story other than some unstoppable god-like hitman flashing through a flurry of punches and bullets. It's a lot more about conmen than assassins, this time around. There's also Mel Gibson, as Cormac, the then owner of the Continental. He still has it. Getting blacklisted out of hollywood has been sort of liberating for him, acting-wise. More free to pick-up interesting roles outside of what he usually received as an A-list. I had recently seen him in On the Line, which was original and good.
It's a three part series, around 90 minutes for ep 1, so a mini-trilogy. I guess it'll end there, as I presume Winston takes control of the Continental by the end of it. Not expecting a follow-up, but you never know. It's from the creators of John Wick, afterall.

Plus they have the worst interface Ive ever seen. It's as slow as Gallagher after a 15 second shift.
Nice, Ill add it to my list. They need to advertise better because I had no idea this was even a thing, lol.

I confirm she's not. Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder but for a woman her age when the movie was shot (she was in her 30ies) she was nothing special. She looked like a 40+ porn movie star who had too many botox injection.

Jokes on me for giving any sort of money for a streaming service. Back to the high seas I go!!! I don't see the downside of just streaming every single piece of media content ever made illegally honnestly. Everything is a simple google search awayAmazon is bringing ads to Prime Video — the ad-free option will cost an extra $2.99 a month

I'm in wait and see mode on this one, mostly because I always considered Prime Video as a throw-in for Prime membership and I'm 90% certain I'll be able to nuke the ads like I do everywhere else. Still annoying to have to jump through hoops when I'm paying for the service in the first place.

A locally produced show,alright,had some laughs and drama but a tad too silly.
Don't know the others but The Covenant was terrible,boring and so inaccurate and Fargo season 4 was also terrible.
I wonder if you realize how sick and perverted that sounds,right.lol
the valiant effort
settle down, bud

As much as a tree stump will always do in a pinch, un-doctored Jennifer Coolidge was a nice looking lady. Almost everyone in Hollywood turns their face to ground beef, she just got ahead of the curve

Way too much of a square jaw for my taste.
