My family loves Netflix. The kids really enjoy watching the old TV shows and movies, I used to watch as a kid. Overall Netflix is pretty good. I must admit though there is a lot of movies there I do not think my kids need to see.

Well after browsing and watching a few movies, I was impressed with the service. The only complaint I had is that I found it hard to find anything. They have a lot of movies but I would like to see them broken up more, maybe more Netflix like? They do have trial and monthly plans so you can try out before you make a major commitment. If you are looking for an alternative movie network, then SpiritClips might be what you are looking for.
