I am now not sure what actually belongs to a review of a product longer: The actual content or the way how such markets a product.
Content: The series is one that has charm. The two main actors play congenial sniffer and con. A series that does more or less with murder and manslaughter, rather less than more. Where it does not pop at all corners and cracks, where not everything is blown up. And who holds a wordplay and clever thing dialogues. Therefore, a clear recommendation, although this series did not have the desired number of spectators who would have liked a well-known stations. Stop is not broadcast to the motto "Dumm studied Dödel" or other "that's really true," - reality shows. In short, you have to think with a little something just sometimes.
Now the type of distribution of this product: This is under any review. You could still the Season 1 & 2 on DVD purchase, it said in Season 3 & 4 only "nada". There is not it simply. You can these only "acquire" (namely the right to see this), if you the streaming portal "Instant Video" uses. And that with this one sometimes has its Zores. Abortions, sometimes with "Resume", sometimes without, in other words, one could again hinnavigieren to the point at which playback was suspended again.
Everything not soooo bad (at leasthome), but what is really to chalk, is the fact that I can watch this stream only on "suitable" devices. Speak on a suitable TV or PC (not on Linux). With related software forced Silverlight or an IPad or (nananetnana) an Amazon Fire Tablet and various mobile phones under Android or IOS However, this requires that you always have sufficient data connection. And this is available at a low price is not just in comparison to a DVD always and everywhere.
Thus, the criticisms:
- Playback crashes despite 8MBit connection (actually should be enough for 4 Mbit SD, thus the problem is with LOVEFiLM)
- High price compared to a DVD (Season 3 & 4 costs twice the DVD of Season 1 or 2)
- A DVD disc can I resell, the stream is left to me, whether I like it or not - we'll see how long (... LOVEFiLM exists)
- Bound to good network structure (in the "Pampa" low-bandwidth or on vacation away from home is nothing)
- Every time I look at the stream, "charging" I look at the film back down - because everyone has a "flat fee" ???
- Amazon / LOVEFiLM determined about it, when and where they watch their movie
- Amazon / LOVEFiLM also know when and where they viewed their film - long live statistics (George Orwell looking oba)
By contrast, the DVD (which indeed are not thereof):
- Own my home and I can resell them (if I want to and to whom I want)
- Is always and everywhere available (with friends, in a remote mountain cabin or on the beach with Porti, ...)
- Does it cost me any bandwidth and possibly x-times
- Runs through without any problems, without any loss of image quality or crashes
- Is possibly cheaper than a stream and I have something in my hand valent (Cover, Cover)
- No Content providers can specify me how long, when and how many times I give myself this to heart.
- It can also collect any statistics about me or otherwise enslave data standard
- He can not force me to buy a tablet or phone of brand XYZ, just so I can watch it offline
If this should be the measures to bring a customer the white from the eyes (costs of stream around the same as a DVD with associated mastering, pressing plant and the sales ???) to bind (I always have to stay with Amazon, so I do not lose the rights ???) and to secure the benefice (yes only buy the device XYZ, because only there you can watch offline), I see black for the existence of the film industry, because this will (hopefully) the can provide least.
Therefore - no thanks for the modus operandi, so please for the content
