Once they fired the old CEO that partnered with Warner Brothers and had a streaming-first mindset, the service has gone way down hill. Most of the new content is dumb shit like syndicated reality shows.

I may tune back in for the occasional series releases like Rightous Gemstones, but then I'm out.

It seems like the interface took a nose dive too. It’s a lot more sluggish and harder to find new things to watch.
