    Not only that, but all those fragmented streaming services keep increasing prices.

    You get more bang for you buck with services outside of peacock. Peacocks draw (at least for people I know) was old reruns of favourite shows. Even if you didn’t want a VPN and a sail, you can buy the DVDs or bluerays.

    Disney +, Netflix, Prime for all their issues, create new content that people want.

      Yep, we’ve reached the point where it’s basically old cable pricing just split into chunks. Investing in a VPN and hard drive is cheaper and now I have all of those shows on demand forever.

      Also great username, just made me realize I had read the first two books but never caught the third so maybe I’ll do that tomorrow instead of watching election horror

        I’m late to reply here, but I hope you’re reading instead of wallowing.

        If I may,

        Book 3 ties it all together nicely. If you enjoyed the trilogy, there are 3 stand-alone ones that follow.

        Book 4 is good but sets up a lot of stuff

        Book 5 is awesome because you get a lot of insight to the Northmen

        Book 6 is great, no spoilers.
