Yes. As predicted (by me at least 
), this is not a new tier. Ads will be added to the Basic tier - somewhat offset (for some?) by adding HD. If you want to avoid ads you will have to jump to the next tier up - currently another $6 a month.

I wonder if Stan will follow.
Quite likely that most of the mainstream/bigger streaming services will end up with an ad-supported tier…

and I wouldn’t be surprised if Foxtel services (Kayo/Binge/Flash) will be the next to follow Netflix’s lead and ban password sharing.

The cast also includes David Arquette, Elizabeth Marvel, Andy McQueen, Ben Chaplin, Margo Martindale, Katja Herbers, Chris Diamantopoulo, Ashley Romans, Tom Wlaschiha and Mathilde Ollivier.
In addition to co-writing and executive producing Mrs. Davis with Lindelof, Hernandez serves as showrunner. Eugene Kelly also executive produces.
There is a thread for Succession for further discussion.
I subscribed to Binge for the WWE content (got my fix and re-watched a lot of the same content when I originally subscribed to the WWE Network a few years ago, a few Rumbles, Summer Slams and of course WrestleMania’s). I’ll probably de-activate the subscription after this years WrestleMania.
I’ve watched a few of the movies available… streaming doesn’t really compare to watching the physical version of the same film (the difference throws me off massively lol).

Episode 1 of Colin from Accounts was reviewed on Gogglebox tonight - rather belatedly and just as the BBC has acquired the series for BBC 2. (They also watched 1923 another streaming show that has been available for a while).
