Is Netflix Still Worth It?

Netflix is on a steady decline. The streaming service has been heavily criticized for the amount of popular or very widely liked shows that have been removed in the past few years. Not only are popular shows being removed, but viewers will now have to start paying more for the remaining shows and Netflix Originals. The basic plan will be increased by $1 to $9.99, the standard plan by $1.50 to $15.49, and the premium plan by $2 to $19.99 per month. 

Despite the controversy, there are still many shows that will be added to the streaming service. Here is a look at the movies and shows that will be added in March of 2022:

On March 31st, Casual: Seasons 1-4 and Super PupZ (a Netflix family) will be released. 

We personally think some of the shows and movies being added definitely could be good and fun to watch even if they are Netflix originals. Although Netflix originals are criticized for not being good, there are a few that make an exception. 

 Even with the number of shows being replaced, Netflix may still have one of the largest platforms out there in terms of streaming services. Is Netflix slowly starting to turn its service into only releasing their own content? Do you think you will continue to support Netflix?
