Just one movie shows how the situation is nuts:

Baahubali is a very long movie that was split into two parts. It is not a normal "movie 1 + sequel", it is basically a 5 hour long movie split in two for easier production.

Netflix originally had both parts, it is where I watched it. I went to show the movie to my wife and found out now only second half is there. The first half is on HBO, that doesn't have second half.

So to watch one movie you need two subscriptions!



I bought one of the parts on amazon and got a version that had either desynced audio or subtitles. It seemed like a speed mismatch as it got worse as the movie went on. I don't speak Tamil, but I can still tell who should be speaking and it became very hard to follow. There was no way to adjust the sync or track speed like in mpv.

Message received, I won't buy again.
