The Thrifty Streamer Take
What this means for your streaming budget
The latest adaptation to hit Netflix is Jo Nesbø's "Harry Hole" series, starring Joel Kinnaman as the iconic detective. While I was excited to dive into this highly-anticipated show, my enthusiasm quickly turned to frustration due to its notoriously slow pace. As a budget-conscious streaming fan, the news that this show may not live up to expectations means one thing: it's time to reassess your subscription priorities.
With "Harry Hole" averaging around 9 episodes per season, that's an extra $8-$12 per month for me (depending on my current plan). If you're like me and already have a streaming budget stretching thin, it might be wise to consider rotating subscriptions. Perhaps cut back on another service this month or next in order to justify the additional cost of "Harry Hole". On the other hand, if you're a die-hard fan of Nordic noir or just can't resist the allure of Joel Kinnaman's detective skills, then go for it – your wallet may be crying, but your binge-watching heart will thank you.
