I am seriously considering a step I really didn't want to take: getting a second streaming service.
I hate hate hate duplicating what we're paying for and it feels like a scam/waste. But... we have Netflix. We dropped their DVD service because they haven't bought new DVDs in five-plus years and we ran out. Now we're running out of streaming things to watch. We've tried a number of new series, but most of them we've stopped after an episode or two. There just isn't much in the queue.

I'm looking at Acorn, because there are a lot of British series that we haven't been able to get even on PBS. That would probably give us a year with Netflix as a supplement.

Netflix's DVDs do update, but usually by that time, they've started streaming the movie/series, too. I've got The Gilded Age gathering dust atop the DVD player.

I'm considering Disney Plus. I'd like to see the Yoda and another SW series. When someone told me they bundled Disney with the National Geographic channel, my interest increased to almost, maybe, perhaps.

We watch a lot of foreign series on Netflix. Right now, we're watching The Dark.

Our experience was that all the DVDs in our "not yet available" queue stayed there for several years before we quit.
