Britbox Review | Is Britbox worth the price?

[@SRPC21]

Hey 🙂. I’m from the UK and I found the topic of Britbox so interesting that it encouraged me to make my first (proper) KZbin video reviewing it. It’s really refreshing as an American that you’ve taken an interest. I HIGHLY recommend Bad Girls (it heavily influenced Orange Is The New Black, but it’s more gruesome/realistic). The complete DVD box set of this series cost more than the yearly subscription so it was enough to encourage me to commit for a whole year. Other recommendations: * How Not to Live your life (funniest thing I’ve seen in my life) * This Is England (86,88 & 90) * Peep Show I’m looking forward to watching Time too.

Any shows similar to Orphan Black?

[@elizabethdewey8991]

Hi I am Elizabeth jo dewey, I love britbox. I am out of work because of seizures. And Mrs. Browns boys and father brown and all the other comedies and mysteries I love. As they laughter is good medicine for the soul. I could never give it up.😅

If you have watched a lot of Brit tv shows, getting Britcom may be boring unless you really really want to watch them again, i.e. Poirot, Marple, QI, Death in Paradise, Are You Being Served. We got the yearly subscription and I'm sorry we did. After about 3 months there was very little we wanted to watch and there are very few new shows each month, I think I counted only 8 new shows for July, which included 2 more seasons of Poirot. Next time, unless there is something amazing, we will only do monthly.

There’s 8 seasons of this, so over 100 hours of content to get through.

Having subscribed to Britbox for many years. We enjoy Poirot, Miss Marple and of course Death in Paradise and Life on Mars,. There are so many more. At $7.00 per month it's a great deal.

[@spaceghost4474]

I get Britbox usually 3 or 4 times a year, mainly to binge on Classic Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes. I love both of them and I never tire of watching them.

[@josephcooter5763]

That's what I do. Usually when I want to watch Dr. Who I will start by subscribing to BritBox and Start with an Unearthly Child and watch every avialable serial right upto and including Survival. When I am don't with Survival I will cancell my Britbox subscription and swith to HBO Max and start watching New Who starting with Rose.

[@whocatalogue]

That's my plan. Gonna leverage Britbox for Classic Who to fill in all the gaps of serials I haven't seen.

[@Bananyaya]

I pay monthly for Britbox and Acorn. Love them both

[@Bananyaya]

@Lawrence Windrush Acorn has a lot of shows. If I compared both I would choose Acorn. I only subscribed to Britbox because of Death in Paradise. I find myself on Acorn most of the time.

[@DnMcDy]

I've used Britbox for a long time. I like mysteries. I used Acorn off and on.

[@leannewith3]

I alternate my streaming services. Only a couple of months per service. I have Brit box right now as I got it on a sale for $1 a month for 2 months. But I’m in Australia and a lot of our services have British tv mixed in with them, so a couple of times a year is probably enough Brit box for me.

[@gordonrosenberg]

We like Britbox and Acorn, couple months a year each at this point, not sure there's enough at either to sustain a year sub. Usually pick up one at a time on special deal when we can at Amazon Prime, to catch up on new seasons (Acorn for 2 months at Prime Day this time around).

[@deborahcunningham4765]

Yes! I love it. This along with Acorn TV almost, almost, satisfies my craving, my need, for brit TV.

[@merinomagician2331]

I watch both most of the time. Network TV is awful, too many commercials. I've also added PBS to the mix. They carry lots of programs my local PBS didn't purchase.

[@jai3064]

I love British Crime shows all of my friends think I'm nutz lol. But can anyone tell me any good Mi5/ Espionage tv shows on BritBox or Acorn. Thanks

[@cassietaaning1329]

I just started using Brit box. Frustrated that there is no movie category on the menu. How do you see a list of movies available?

[@84tilburg]

Does Britbox have closed captions? If so, how can I set it up?

[@alfredlahue1141]

I actually subscribed to britbox for the sole purpose of watching doctor who I'm currently season 2 episode 16 of the Hartnell years

[@iz5509]

There is also France Channel which is the French version of britbox which launched in the US recently. I would like to see you review that service as well.

[@pj2192]

I love Britbox❤ MORE Casual✝️y PLEASE! Decades of seasons not available ❤️‍🔥

[@marciecarter3649]

How do I put the channels in the order that I want to on KZbin TV?

[@darlowmaxwell7346]

Just subscribed for a year. Best closed captions of and service.

[@down813]

May I suggest doing a video review on Filmrise?

[@neomamuro]

Since I'm not an app developer, here's an free idea for you out there. Make an app that allows users to schedule their resubscription and unsubscription (are those actual words?). That way, I can subscribe to Netflix for let's say three months, then unsubscribe and at the same time resubscribe to Disney+ for three months, and then to yet another streaming service without having to keep track of when I should cancel my subscription to avoid additional charges.

[@merinomagician2331]

Worth it without a doubt!!!

[@darlenefrancis5380]

I love Britbox and Acorn

[@nickperkins8477]

Britbox is British content. Acorn TV is British content, but inclusive of more of the United Kingdom than England. Britbox also shows British political events while Acorn TV does not.

[@leejamison898]

Can't live without my britbox

[@dennisraymond3220]

You're absolutely right.....Good evening how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made

[@s.d.7597]

$80.00 per year is too expensive in my opinion. If it were 1/2 of that price I'd considered it only to watch Shetland.

[@PaulSmith-gb3ke]

Can you please do a corn TV review for 2023 thank you A deep dive into the app itself would be helpful

[@Oldeagle66]

I am back on Britbox after almost two years. I made the mistake of trying to watch everything at once.😊

[@florence775]

Yes I do and love it!!!! Especially love Mrs. Brown’s Boys

[@xenith5003]

Im watching Mrs Brown this month. My wife and I have not laughed that hard in a while. Great show

[@SRPC21]

Oddly that show isn’t on the British version of Britbox which is a shame.

[@florence775]

@@SRPC21 It was on BBC I know. I just watch the repeats all the time. I love it.

[@ricktaylor5397]

Not a bad selection of shows, but no Midsommer Murders is a deal breaker.

[@JoeHusosky]

What's the difference between Brit box and acorn?

[@merinomagician2331]

They don't carry the same shows.

[@deborahfrederick916]

Vera and No Offence ALONE are worth the price of my subscription.

[@UniquelyBarb]

I love the shows.. Much better deal than watching sports and chugging beer.

[@douglasbriel6103]

Not on topic, but how did BBCA become the Next Generation channel.

[@donleyton4478]

It's better than the rubbish served up on the regular TV channels

[@gopalashetty3592]

British English Accent is much better than American English Accent.

[@DrMoorehen]

Try bbc iplayer and itv hub and all 4, for uk content.... along with a vpn off course. We dont al have cockney accents....im from norther Ireland, united kingdom and have an irish lilt....not a cockney one....And as for BritBox? No way!.........

[@PaulSmith-gb3ke]

I have bird box I love it it is awesome

[@Thomas-yr9ln]

A lot of services are aimed at at the very young like teenagers. Why they do that I don't know because who pays.? The adults pay teenagers don't have money yet they skimp on the ones who actually are paying for their service.

[@Hyunlix.edits1]

I have britbox acorn pbs masterpiece and mhz choice

[@jimmymejia3153]

like it specialy luther series!

[@mambaman9363]

Advertisement for this man not britbox

[@misschris3075]

No. It stops for no reason. It is a very second rate channel.

[@grunge_surf_witch_uk9130]

Is coke dine with me on it?

[@AlexaPetruska-mt6jw]

Great

[@davidkettell6236]

My wife and i grew up in England and emigrated to the U.S in 1980. We find many of the shows unwatchable because of the foul language .My mother always told me that cursing was the result of a poor education and judging by many of the modern shows on Britbox the English education system has completely broken down and now rivals the U.S for illiteracy.

[@ianhope6429]

I live in England & won’t be taking the Britbox streaming service

[@lynneallardice9728]

Why would it need it since you live in England? duh……..

[@ianhope6429]

@@lynneallardice9728 because it is sold as having exclusive shows etc from ITV & BBC - plus why would u pay for content like that? People abroad buy it

[@rjhall5712]

At first I liked it ... but it has swayed so far as for checking all the boxes of a WOKE society it's ridiculous.... the rating system is all over the place ... and if you remove the "F-Bomb" you'd be left with a silent film ... when I leave this time , it will be for good !

[@olivemckeown7299]

The new Britbox shows have too much swearing. I'm considering canceling my subscription.

[@bmango6186]

My opinion is that britbox is waste of money. It seems british TV stopped evolving around 1980s. Every show is the same. Majority of the shows are about crime, no innovation at all. Nothing in SciFi, documentaties, or any intelligent content what so ever. Even the video controls on the app are pathetic. Badly designed and boring, monotonous content.

[@dasshape00]

Brit and Australia comedy I'm looking for.. is this the app. Seen IT Crowd and Kim and Kath now I want more

[@Irishjonny3564]

Disney Plus have some Doctor who specials

[@Irishjonny3564]

I'll tell you what I really don't give a shit what your opinion on it is because I love britbox
