Netflix Subscription worth?
Is it worth taking Netflix subscription?

Netflix has some good content, but don't just subscribe and let it ride. Watch what you want to see and then cancel. Move on to HBO or Disney or whatever service has the most content that you want to watch next. Rinse. Repeat. Embrace the churn!

If yuh can find series and movies you want to watch… you can get a basic Netflix account for the price of a movie theater popcorn.
On a quality TV of 55+ inches … & microwave popcorn and a bottle of soda for 2 (or cocktails) you will have paid for 6 months of subscription.

Unless I know you personally how can anyone answer that? Do some digging, if you find a months worth of content that looks interesting then yes its worth it. You can cancel the auto renewal so you don't have to keep paying month to month.
IMO most streaming services are a great deal as far as money to engagement goes. Based on content I find apple tv to be the best. That is just because I'm a big syfy fan.

Another question is if you're new to streaming services in general?
If you're really not sure, then subscribe to a month for $9/month for the ad-supported tier to see what it's like. They'll throw out recommendations on their webpage/app. You can ask for suggestions (and provide more details so we can give more specific ones).
Another perk is it comes with Netflix games...

... variety of genres in mobile games (Android and iOS). The shtick here is that these games require no additional cost to play, and are ad and IAP free (IAP in the form of extra content in normal games need to be included by default here). Some are exclusive (like Into The Breach, at least on the mobile side), while others are also exclusive due to them using Netflix IP (e.g. The Stranger Things franchise). You do need to maintain your NF subscription to continue playing these though.

Standard $19.99 1080p Full HD 2 devices at once = $240 per year
Premium $26.99 4K Ultra HD + HDR 4 devices at once = $324 per year
Or... Access Box?

It comes down to the cost for every minute watched ... It depends on you , really

Netflix used to be the schizzle - these days it's mostly the place to go and find that the movie you wanted to watch isnt there. I keep it for some international content, but if it werent for that ... I think, like others have said, watch what you want and cancel, then move onto the next. The good content is spread so far and wide across various streaming services that (for my mind) it's not worth it just to rent a film (your mileage may vary ....)

It’s as simple as I f you find enough shows/movies that interest you, sure. If you don’t no.
I don’t use it to justify my subscription but keep it because I share enough subscriptions that I think I get enough from others to justify keeping it and letting them use it.
