2023 Year in review - Movies and TV Reviews

Part of my 2023 year in review

Movies

In February of 2023 Netflix decided to block or upcharge for password sharing of accounts. I have been a user of Netflix since the mailed DVD days but with this business choice they made piracy a better, more user friendly option. I canceled my account and switched to torrents and a local Plex server.

With Youtube increasing the amount of ads to once every ~10 mins, and pushing their paid service, and Ad blocking. I just haven’t been watching many Youtube videos either.

These two changes have significantly contributed to a reduced amount of TV I watch, and it also made it harder to track what I have seen over this year.

According to my TV I had ~237 hours of screen time 2023 or about a 30% drop over all. 21 movies, 29 tv series

I have started to update My Letter BoxD profile with the revies of all my movies.

Ranking:

1. (Great) - I would recommend
