What's this?

I got HBO years ago due to a lot of good original content

Then The Brink got cancelled. Ballers and Silicon Valley kinda jumped the shark...just weren't nearly as funny or interesting as they were in the first two seasons. GoT is over and I did stick with it to the end, but the drop in quality once they ran out of source material is well documented. I really, really tried to like WestWorld, but just couldn't get into it. HBO was absolutely worth it for a couple of years. But I dropped it as soon as I finished Chernobyl and GoT.

And for the random movie I want to watch now and then, I can just get it at Redbox or stream it from Amazon Prime cheaper.
