I have a Disney+ promo from Verizon that's expiring in a month, so I need to decide whether to start paying or to cancel.

We got rid of Disney+ last week. Ironically, we got it to watch Andor. But it’s bundled with Hulu so we’ll be missing a few shows that we watch that have either started or are about to start new seasons (Abbot, Only Murders, Bob’s Burgers). We also have HBO, Amazon Prime, Apple, Peacock, and BritBox. We really don’t have time to watch ALL THAT TV!!

The only things I have are Amazon Prime (not really for the tv) and Netflix (where I watched a couple of the new episodes of GBBO last night yay!!). I did watch the first five episodes of The Pitt on the plane and now want to watch the rest but probably won’t.

Oh, Prime, forgot about that one. Should be able to drop that.

I don't watch The Pitt, because the pilot was too realistic ambience-wise. Really reminded me of the many times in and out of the ER/hospital during My Troubles in a slightly panicky way. Kudos to them for the verisimilitude (I've been able to watch other hospital shows just fine since, so its not about "any reference to hospitals at all, ever"), and I hear the performances are great. Alas, not suitable for Jen.

We have Prime and Netflix. About to cancel Paramount+ because ST New Worlds is done (what an underwhelming season!) I purged subscriptions when DH lost his job last year (didn't save THAT much, but it felt good!), and I've added and canceled a couple since, but those two are plenty for our habits. I do BritBox from time to time. Not right now, though.

I really like The Pitt but it's hard to watch even without personal history triggers.

I watched the first episode and was reminded that medical dramas don't mix well with my anxiety, so I figured it was not a show for me. But I liked the characters, and I kept seeing so damn many gifs on Tumblr, I watched the second and third episodes and found a groove where I could handle watching it. All its Emmys were well-deserved.

We watched the Pitt through like the 7tb or 8th ep and then went to Michigan and had to take Bob’s mom to the ED our first night there and she had very scary emergency surgery and Bob has been wary of going back to a hyper realistic medical drama since.

I'll be cancelling Prime when my annual subscription runs out later in the year. In the meanwhile, I'm moving the streaming services I do watch on Prime (BritBox and Great Courses) to separate subscriptions. I do need to start turning subscriptions on/off better - I'm on Apple for "Slow Horses" and "Murderbot" but I don't need to keep it for a whole year. And I'm caught up on "Dark Winds" so I can cancel AMC for another year. I just need to do it.

My yearly Paramount+ subscription terminated on Sept 15, and the last episode of Strange New Worlds was Sept 12, so that was an easy cancellation for me.

The best subscription I have is DC Comics Ultra, where I get all the new DC issues with a 1 month delay. I probably spend more time on that than any other service I have.
