  I have a media server, but I still need Netflix to handle the volume of crap shows my partner watches*

  *many actually play in the background while she does something else, but apparently they’re necessary

    Why not just use something like rutracker.org ?

    All the netflix releases are on there and vast majority of them can be streamed via bit torrent. Just select language defaults in your media player and you’re good to go.

      Lol do you want to deal with a pissed off wife a the smallest issue? At least Netflix’s issues are Netflix’s fault

        Fair point. :)

        The only reason I mentioned this is I have multiple family members who have by this point learned how to stream via bittorrent and how to use rutracker.

    Tangent, but I really wish shows could be tagged as second screen. I’m sick of atarting simething and realizing 20 minutes in that it’s designed and written to be passively listened to rather than actual entertainment

    It’s insulting to be treated like a moron by a show because they assume you won’t be paying attention while watching

      Additionally, many have million ad cuts where they repeat what just happened, and depending on where you watch it you may not actually have ads, so it feels like being trapped in a star trek time loop

      Can you give some examples of shows that you feel knowingly do this, other than Ancient Aliens or Ghost Hunters?

    It’s sad that you’re dunking on your partner like this. Sounds like she has ADHD or similar tendencies and needs something in the background to help her concentrate on tasks. Shows that don’t need your full attention work best for this. I know because I’m the same.
