It's an experience that doesn't feel befitting of one of the best streaming services. When I tried to watch Community and Seinfeld, those shows - which were made to be shown with ad breaks - didn't have any.Īll in all, it feels like Netflix with ads was rushed out the door before it was ready, especially with over 1,000 movies missing. Oh, and then, Netflix's ads aren't actually in some of the programming. That meant a splotchier, lower-resolution image quality. Amazon Prime Video currently offers two plans. On top of that, Netflix with ads is only available as Netflix Basic with Ads - so you need to downgrade your streaming quality to 720p. Casino Royale is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Directv, where you can watch the movie by subscribing to any of the plans they have to offer.

Ad insertion for The Crown felt almost-random for when the ads were dropped, and when we did see them, they clashed harshly with the moments of the show. When I tested Netflix with ads, I found that a lack of titles wasn't the only big problem. That could be enough to make someone want to pay the extra $3 to get Netflix Basic without ads.Īs for missing shows, favorites such as Netflix's own Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Dark, Narcos, and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power aren't in Netflix with ads either.

These movies are always going to be changing, but JustWatch notes that as of now, you need to pay for ads to get titles such as Where the Crawdads Sing, Casino Royale, Raw (one of the best horror movies on Netflix), Hannah Gadsby: Douglas, Red, MOTHER and Psycho.
