Stupid Netflix question
OK, so my wife and kids have nagged me into getting Netflix; its installed as an app on my sons Xbox. I've signed up for Basic just to try it out. Basic allows one device - does that mean one device ever or just one device at a time?
(Can I also install their app on my wife's iPad and just make sure it's logged off the Xbox before watching anything on the iPad? So, yeah, all this new fangled interweb streaming stuff really isn't my thing, hence the question...)

Don't worry, you'll get bored stupid by it after 3 months max. If you're into sci fi you'll also find that Netflix are all about quantity over quality. It's just well made rubbish rather than badly made.
Altered Carbon was worth watching and of course Stranger Things is great fun. One of my favourite lesser known shows is the very funny Santa Clarita Diet (not really sci-fi though). Also, don't forget that Rick & Morty available too.
Currently working through the first season of The Expanse that I've heard a lot of superlatives about.
Is The Expanse any good? Reading the books at the moment.
I haven't read the books but the show is getting better (only seen 6 episodes so far) as I've heard the first few aren't that great. One friend who's seen it really recommends it and I've seen more than one mention on ArsTechnica about it being the best sci-fi show: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/07/expanse-fans-no-need-to-worry-amazon-orders-season-5-of-its-new-sci-fi-show/
Incidentally, the same friend that recommends The Expanse is also a fan of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (haven't watched it myself).
Sounds good, thanks, I'll give it a go once I've finished the next book.
The Expanse is on Amazon Prime isn't it? Not Netflix? I read the first two or three books: I liked the first one, but it all seemed to get a bit Out There (TM). My favourite recent sci-fi novels have been Mike Brooks's "Keiko" series and Becky Chambers "The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet".
(I got nagged into Netflix because my kids were desperate to watch Stranger Things because their friends all watched it and they were missing the references).
Has anyone watched The Umbrella Academy? Any good?
The first two seasons look to be on Netflix (tbh I just pirate them so I don't always register which platform it's on). https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80029822
I've heard good things about The Umbrella Academy and also Russian Doll, but haven't got around to watching them yet.
Excellent! I did try to find it but I had children shouting "Stranger Things! Stranger Things!" at me, and it kind of distracted me.
I quite enjoyed it. It has you guessing about how it will spin out.
Really enjoying Money Heist (sub titled) where a Spanish gang rob the Mint. Now that really keeps you guessing.
One thing to bear in mind is that the Basic package does not stream HD, whereas the Standard one does. This, and the 2 concurrent devices, made it the 'goto' option in our household. There is a good 1 month trial FOC, which comes without any real gotchas.
It's the number of concurrent users.
Make sure only you know the password, otherwise your kids friends maybe logged on, locking you out (well until you login on a pc and kick them off ).
Thanks for that: that makes sense, and point taken.
Tbh I thought about trying to work it out from their faq but it seemed easier to just ask someone who uses it
