This year 2016 has been the consolidation of Netflix (if it can be called in some way, because they say that there are very few Spanish households that have the service), and also that of the arrival of HBO. Two channels of video on demand that are delighting many people, since they can watch movies and series when they have time, and not when they broadcast them on TV.
The fact is that there are many fathers and mothers who have some of these services (I know some who have both channels), and I think I speak on behalf of all when I call for make us some kind of offer or discounts, for the following reasons:
1. The series last for months
Babies sleep a lot, and children too… but they usually do it when we are awake and busy with other things, so it is not usually possible to take advantage of their dreams to see something. Thus, when we finally decided to give the "Play", there are few minutes that we can see without closing our eyes, so that when we open them again we have already seen half season, but without seeing her.
Come on, two days ago my wife had to alert me that I had fallen asleep with my cell phone in my hand, with my hand over my little son's head ... We both had Netflix near our eyes, but neither of us We were two watching.
2. We had a terrible time seeing the catalog
We enter Netflix or HBO, we see that there are a lot of cool things to see, and we get anxiety and a thousand curses ... There is something like "Add to my list", but it is absurd: the lists of four or five fathers and mothers would saturate the servers of both services, because we are adding and we never see them.
3. When you finally reach the second season you don't remember what happened in the first season
Of course, you are watching different series, you leave them on the list that absurdity, and when you finally get to see the second season of that series you saw years ago, you don't remember what was going on. Some time ago I saw the first and second of Homeland. When hiring Netflix I was very happy because I could continue watching it, but it gives me an impressive stick to see it because I don't remember half. I would have to do a revision, and that would mean leaving months, if not years, other series.
4. We have to select very well what we are going to see
A bad choice could mean a loss of time of several weeks. I enjoyed as a dwarf with Daredevil, Jessica Jones entertained me a lot, but Luke Cage seems like a nonsense, how bad it is (yes, I really like the series of heroes). But I've been 10 chapters and hey, I'm one of those who finish what they start, so there I go watching it, night after night, while the dream beats me, losing gold minutes in which I could be watching the sixth Game of Thrones
But i don't have hbo, so we need, the parents, a discount or similar, to go to the safe. From Netflix we could take the best series (Stranger Things, Narcos, etc.), and from HBO the same (Game of Thrones, The Wire, Westworld, etc.).
So, dear television channels on demand that you give us so much joy, think a bit of exhausted fathers and mothers who We can only see a couple of seasons a year and that the rest of the time we can only dedicate it to see what the catalog is so that when someone tells us how good one or another series is, the title will sound and we can say that of “Ah, ok, well, I put it in the queue that I will need half a life for. "
