Spent $60 on a streaming service for one show and cancelled after 3 days
I signed up for BritBox on a whim because everyone kept raving about this British crime drama called Shetland. Figured I'd give it a shot, $60 for the whole year seemed like a deal. Binge watched two seasons in like two days and realized I hated the main character. He makes so many dumb choices. Now I'm stuck with this subscription for 11 more months and I haven't opened the app since. Anyone else impulse buy a whole streaming service for one show and instantly regret it?

Actually I think you're being a little too hard on Jimmy Perez. Yeah he makes some questionable calls but that's kind of the point of his character. He's this broken guy from the city trying to fit into a small island community and it shows in how he handles things. The show is more about the atmosphere and the setting anyway, not just his detective skills. Plus season 3 and 4 get way better with the storylines. If you already paid for the year you might as well give it another shot instead of just letting the money sit there. Just my two cents but I think you bailed too early.

Three days of binging and you're already calling it quits? I gave Shetland a try last year, made it through one episode, and the whole thing felt like a really long episode of Midsomer Murders but with less charm. Everyone swears the atmosphere is incredible but I was just staring at fog and rocks thinking "this is it?
