One of the cable channels is showing The Streets of San Francisco. I remember watching it when I was a kid, so been catching a few episodes. It's not bad, but what I didn't relapse then is how many actors who I recognise from other roles who were in that series, usually before they were famous.

Certainly Michael Douglas (one of the leads) fits that role, as does Richard Hatch (who took over from Douglas in later series. I've seen episodes with Sorrel Booke (best remembered as Boss Hogg), Mark Hamil, Andrew Robinson (who played Garack in Star Trek DS9). Established names spotted include Dean Stockwell (who played a recovering sex offender being set up by his shrink), Leslie Nielsen, Brock Peters (Soylent Green, various admirals in the Star Trek Movies, and Benjamin Sisko's father in DS9).

What is weird is most of these faces are younger than you'll know them. It's hard to spot some of them.

Also The Street's title card use the same font as used in the later series Starsky and Hutch.

I suspect that's the real reason for the Netflix fallout - they plan to expand.

I pretty much agree with you threre.
For the record, I really don't care about offline viewing.
I watch films and shows on my TV, in my livingroom, which has broadband.
I don't use my phone for watching films.

If you travel or watch a lot of stuff in work it would be good. I personally wouldn't have much use for it because I like a big screen.

Jesus, I have a lot to catch up on.

That's quite a list.
Not that I'll watch everything that's on it, that way lies madness.

I have Walking Dead, Grimm, Fear the Walking Dead just in case it crosses over, and iZombie to go back to.
