Do it. I cancelled 2 weeks ago and haven't looked back. Netflix is filled with self referential, formulaic films, shows that had a good season 1 but got axed, and shows that sucked but somehow got the engagement metrics up enough to stick around. Occasionally there's a show that's good and stocks around, but ends up a stinker as the seasons progress.

The only thing I miss is Korean dramas, but there's Viki for that.
