Any other Canuck try this yet? I'm doing the one month free membership, and I have to say I'm severely disappointed.
No new releases, and it seems to be missing a lot of old movies as well. I just looked up a couple of old favourites; Fargo and Contact, neither were available. (If it's in the IMDB top 250, it's probably not on Netflix)
I was somewhat pissed, but oh well; at least I have the TV selection...
Not so. Name a good show. It's not on it. Name a recent show, same thing. No Simpsons, Sopranos, the The Wire, Friends, anything. No Venture Bros, Fringe, Breaking Bad......
I understand that they have problems airing stuff in Canada due to licencing, but seriously, this is pathetic. Why release a product such as this and then fail to deliver so spectacularly?
If they ever do get the ability to stream these shows and movies,I would expect they would be hard pressed to win back customers.
P.S: Is the US selection at all comparable to this?
