Golfingboy Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 9 hours ago, Stillearly said: I've never really watched basketball, but I have obviously heard of Michael Jordan... The Last Dance is brilliant, not all episodes released yet , last two on 18th May .✅ I hope this is not true, but hell it doesn’t matter, it’s been almost 30 years. To think it’s even possible that his father’s murder was tied to Jordan’s gambling, as well as his “retirement” being a forced suspension by the NBA......blows my mind. The only reason I don’t believe it, is Michael had such huge salaries and endorsement deals, he could repay his debts. But the mob made huge money off athletes who ran up large debts on smaller salaries, then forced them to change outcomes of future games to pay it back. Again, makes me wonder how many high profile events I’ve watched since I was a kid, had their results influenced by indebted players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m not arguing, he was making $30m+ per year, which was unheard of at that time, so he could afford to have a serious gambling habit. He was investigated by the league, so I can believe the part about being quietly forced away from the game. But his father, yes, I think he was just in the wrong place, wrong time, driving a flashy Lexus with a personalized plate, an easy target for thieves.

Nightcrawler Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 i feel as I have exhausted Netflix over the last 4 weeks, Last thing I watched today was a few episodes of Come fly with me Since watching every episode of series 1&2 of After Life, nothing seems as good. Best comedy/drama series I have ever watched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggles Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Yes, I enjoyed it as well. I was surprised to find that a lot of the programmes mentioned here are not available on Netflix here in the Philippines. A bit disappointing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqualung Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I'd like to know what package some of you chaps are paying for re Netflix. I signed up a couple of weeks ago through Virgin Media at £6 per month and tbh I think it's a poor show. My Thai son in law over in Sweden pays bugger all but seems to have far more choice of movies than I do! Is it worth paying more? Maybe there are more up to date movies but when I use the search function I can't even get movies that are years old never mind the ones from not that long ago. I'm going to bin the thing I think unless someone can convince me otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proffesor Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I pay via my U.K. PayPal account, GBP7.50 + 1.50 tax, a month. I think this equates to about THB 360 Could be completely wrong, but I believe some of the newer films are held back in certain regions, depending when their release dates ( in the cinemas ) are scheduled for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay $10 CAD, 230 baht. I find many more movies keep popping up these days, as well as TV shows. But I remember a mate having Netflix in 2014, and the Canadian version had nothing, really sucked compared to US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I have the cheapest package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree , some of those prosecutors are just evil as well , when it's obvious the evidence is flimsy and they get a conviction, even its its disproved later , they refuse to let them go ... their stats are more important than justice ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your email and password enable you to watch it in all available countries but the content in each country varies. It doesn't,t matter how much you pay. That's my understanding anyway. If you pay more you can have extra subscribers watching at the same time but no additional features.Sent from my P00C using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense now as I read someone giving a review of film and when I searched for it was not available. What I do like is that my daughter and a friend of mine uses it on my account with their own separate profiles and free for them under my account.
