    I’ll subscribe once a year for a month. Binge everything I missed. Cancel. Rinse and repeat.

      Does it allow you to browse the shows if not subscribed? Can’t do that with Netflix, HBO and Disney+. But can for Amazon.

        Yes in India Apple allows to browse and also let you watch trailer without subscribing. Same with Disney+ and Amazon.

      That’s the only way I can justify with streaming services, the ala carte way. Finished The Last of Us on Now? CANCELED. Finished Narcos on Netflix? CANCELED. Oh, we’re done with Handmaid’s Tale and felt it was mediocre? CANCELED. Once a new season comes out from the shows we watch, we resubscribe for a month.

      We do that with YTTV for football season and special events like World Cup and the Olympics. So this year is going to be expensive with the summer Olympics happening…

      I hope these streaming services don’t have a contract to keep it for a year…god, I’d quit using all of them if that happened.

      Same here. Last time I watched all seasons of Ted Lasso, Silo and Severance. And the first season of The morning show (I will watch the remaining seasons next year :-))
