Into day four of seven day free AMC+ preview. Some good stuff including:

I did an add-on through my Prime account to make it easy to cancel after the free period expires.

1. I'm culturally deprived

I don't have cable. Even when I had it I rarely watched movies. I've been to a theater about 35 times in my life. I only see high brow films, but there were a few Woody Allen's. I own less than 20 DVDs. To me they all have the same plot. Problem, drama, resolution. Delivered by people wealthier than me, and roughly half of them Republicans. No thank you. Fantasy is one of the reasons for the problems in America. Living in unreality won't fix them. Though I do understand the entertainment aspect and the need to relax.

2. Okay!

3. I LOVE my cable. I would feel deprived without it.

I read plenty too but just love the escape I get from watching shows and movies.

4. I 86d cable and dish a few years back. Now I only stream. Cheaper and easier to manage.

5. How's the picture quality?

These previews look awful in image clarity. So many mpg compression artifacts.

I once did an HBO add-on to Amazon Prime for the show Watchmen. It was unwatchable. Then I got the blu-ray disks. They were terrific.

Since then, I've done less streaming.

6. Excellent and I have an older TV. Full disclosure, my eyesight isn't what it once was!

7. How do those previews you posted look to you?

8. Fine. I'm viewing them on an iPad.

9. Okay, thanks. I won't be tuning in. I don't have an iPad to make things look good.

I find most of Prime to be terrible in quality. Generally, shows listed as UHD are pretty good.

The worst quality of all goes to The Walking Dead courtesy of AMC, shown on Netflix. They deliberately diminish the picture quality on that one to make it look more like an old horror movie.

10. I may have to do this to watch A Discovery of Witches

I have wanted to watch it for a long time and it still hasn't jumped to Netflix, Prime or Hulu (which I already own)
We just do not want to add another channel to give us even more things to choose from. Hard enough as it is

But I really do want to check out that series.

Worst part is remembering to cancel!!!

11. I'm not married to any of them. When I tire of one I cancel.

12. Innocent is very good. There's a second season too.
