Piracy and torrents have made my life so much better
My entertainment experience is so much better than my friends' because of piracy. I use torrents, and store my media and it's made my life so great since I got into this a little over a year ago. I've seen shows that none of my friends have seen. Lately I've been into police dramas and there's an incredible series from France called Le Bureau des Légendes, which is phenomenal. There's one from the UK that I just finished called Line of Duty that was also great. I saw an Estonian period film that is entertaining called Apteeker Melchior -- it was freeleech for a short while, so I grabbed it.
My friends who pay for Netflix, Disney+ and all the the other streaming channels watch the all same garbage TV. I can see that too, but I get access to these other amazing films and shows. I've not even mentioned the books, audiobooks and music.
The pirate's life is a great life and it's the life for me. Arrrr.
(unrelated to piracy, though I agree with the main point of the post)
I loved Le Bureau des Légendes! Are these shows well-subtitled/dubbed? That's what prevents me from sharing them with my English-speaking friends usually, the language barrier is too great and it's not as usual to watch a subtitled French show than a kdrama f.e
I’m an American. Native English speaker. The subtitles are 10/10 for The Bureau. It just depends on if your friends like to watch shows that are subtitled.
