The end of shared Netflix accounts is already a fact and, as much as the company is trying to avoid bleeding subscribers by announcing sales in some countries, the platform's idyll with its customers has begun to notice an unusual imbalance in its history.

, which led it to a stock market drop that it had never experienced before, although it managed to recover thanks to great lifesaving releases from its catalog such as

, to

.

But 2023 looks different.

Netflix is ​​facing a liquidity problem that it has tried to solve by subtracting services to which people had become accustomed.

To begin with, its offer in February is not being the most appetizing, despite the fact that many may find the fourth season of

a great premiere, and what is worrying is that there does not seem to be any phenomenon on the horizon that is going to save 2023 as they did

What do we do now with Netflix?

But the content itself would not be so much of a problem if the offer on the other side of the border of the big red N had not multiplied in recent years.

It is no longer cold outside and little by little, with a good boost from the consumer dynamics created in the toughest months of the pandemic,

and it is no longer so rare to find ourselves in conversations about

as

or

, from

as

or the Marvel on duty, or from

as

or

.

And to all this is added that

.

Things get complicated if we add that its new restriction leaves the disenchanted free to find alternatives that are not even the usual big names, with other increasingly strong options in their own content such as Movistar+

AppleTV

even

.

Looking at the pocket, some free services such as

or R

are beginning to not be alone with the arrival of others such as

, which allows you to rent for free with a library card, or

, which in addition to content on demand It works as a multimedia server to play what is stored on hard drives and connects to live television.

The expected loss of subscribers on Netflix comes at a time that is too dynamic for the market.

I mean, many of those who leave might think better of it and return in a few months, but right now, in Spain, there are new fishermen in the stream and they may not release their new guests so easily.

A very recent platform is

, the brand that replaces Starzplay

to a catalog with some recent hits such as

,

,

,

or

and a very interesting film offer, not only made up of productions under its brand, such as the adaptations of

,

or the

saga , but also hits like

,

or

.

With a fairly limited catalog, but with a lot of potential,

, like other small platforms that don't have it easy to stand out in a saturated scenario, but if there is a launch that comes with a lot of gold under the arm is

.

All those who leave Netflix and decide to try this new service will find it priced at 5.99 euros per month, one of the cheapest on the current market, but it also comes with an offer that offers a perpetual discount of 50% up

.

A launch that comes with the rare opportunity for faster than expected growth.

For that price,

that merge such as

.

This would include, for example, the back catalog and the novelties of a mythical production company like Paramount, which after a period of crisis due to the dominance of superhero cinema, has managed to fill a void of a type of cinema produced without the familiar artifices of Marvel or DC and is experiencing a box office renaissance with box office hits like

,

,

,

,

or other proposals that, without having made a large collection, have achieved their cult in networks, such as

by Damien Chazelle.

Thus, in addition to novelties from the cinema, we have modern classics such as

,

and a good portion of Steven Spielberg's filmography, sagas such as

,

,

or

, combined with a a good handful of essentials like

,

or

.

But the real bait for new curious viewers, in addition to original Spanish productions that will bring a tail, such as

, is that many successful series can finally be seen in the United States that remained in a legal limbo without reaching Spain.

Thus, we finally find

, and its prequels

and

, the disturbing

, the miniseries

, about the creation of

, or the spectacular

, the adaptation of the famous video game, although for now The release date of

, the highly anticipated series by Rian Johnson that, for the moment,

not listed .

But a platform cannot live only on news, and

, such as

or the influential

.

In addition, it seems that the most interesting thing seems to be yet to come, as its position consolidates, it is to be expected that CBS series will be seen, such as those developed by the King couple -behind The Good Fight and Evil-, the new

of

channel MGM+, like the new seasons of

or

, and many surprises from the great mix of sources from which this aspiring streaming giant drinks from a great merger.

The new options for Netflix may have a difficult time in a saturated environment, but with a reasonable price and an opportunistic landing
