I only pay for netflix cuz my mom is a TV junkie. Roku is not good for white noise TV people, it's great for snuggling in and watching a movie or binge watching a series.

Sometimes i like to just hunt for a movie and watch from netflix. Or gorge on a series they have and i haven't seen much of. Like drop dead diva.
