It's never been easier to watch a film and TV legally online. Streaming platforms are everywhere. There's one for children's movies. There's one for horror. There's one for arthouse and there's ones everything in between. There's a multitude of choice. But that's the problem. There's way too much choice. Never in a million years could you keep up. Plus they're all subscription services. Imagine it. 20+ separate direct debits being sliced out of your account each month. You'd have to work every hour sent to pay for them and then you'd have no time to watch any of them.

Then there's the issue of rights and well...legality. Netflix US has far more content than Netflix Ireland because they have the rights and we don't. Amazon has a tonne of stuff that can't be shown in Ireland for the same reason. Stuff like the Criterion channel and Hulu can only be viewed in Ireland if you use a VPN. It's not technically illegal but it is a pain in the nuts and you have to pay for the VPN on top of everything else.

I swear it was easier when we just had RTE1 and 2.
