TorBox also seems to be much cheaper, $3 per month versus the $4, 15 day trial for Real Debrid.
After a few days, TorBox has been working at least as well as Real Debrid, much better, even, when factoring in the torrents Real Debrid removed that I was immediately able to access again using TorBox.
I have since learned troubling things about Real Debrid, including their deletion of torrent caches, and their threat to release a user's logs because the user criticized Real Debrid's removal of torrents (not actual copyrighted content) in unnecessary compliance with, I believe, a DMCA takedown request.
Thus defeating the entire premise of the service for which we pay.
I've switched to TorBox.
Both services highly rated 🤷🏿♂️

Google TV gave me an ad for Citadel, another over-the-top spy thriller, this one from Amazon.
I added it to my Stremio and just finished the first episode..😮💨
You know the criticism of Netflix shows being overly explanatory and repetitive? Well, this episode is almost entirely that.
Definitely the most clear example of this apparent phenomenon I've seen in a while, from start to literal end.
Glad I didn't pay to see this.

I've realized that I should restart Babylon Berlin because I've completely lost track of all the many pieces leading up to Season 4.
It was always a struggle for me to understand everything that was happening so having years between watching seasons 3 and 4 had me lost watching S4:E1.

Last night I rewatched the final scene of Peaky Blinders, Season 5, Episode 6 and I still think it's a perfect place to end the series.
I've read that many enjoyed Season 6 (I've read nothing about the movie) but I've been burned by series, so I'm reluctant to watch any more.
I *knew* the bridge scene was the perfect ending for Killing Eve but I doubted myself and was casually, cruelly, betrayed.
There have been others.

I'd only watched the first 2 episodes of Season 6 of Black Mirror before the strikes and my cancellation of Netflix.
I've finished the season this week and along with Joan is Awful, Beyond the Sea is excellent, and Mazey Day and Demon 79 are very good.
Every season since 3 has one episode I really don't like (or hate). Loch Henry is one of the worst of the series.
