Is Netflix worth it in 2026?
A 4.7 from over 7 million iTunes ratings reflects a large base of satisfied subscribers, but that score belongs to people who have accepted the terms, and the terms include a library that actively shrinks around you. Content removal and cancellation was the single loudest complaint, appearing in 13 of the sampled reviews, dwarfing every other criticism combined; you can start a show today and find it pulled or missing seasons before you finish. The household verification system is aggressive enough to lock out paying subscribers using the app legitimately, such as while traveling, and reviewers report that customer service offers little recourse when it does. Netflix remains the broadest single-subscription streaming option for genre variety, language options, and personalized discovery, but it has structurally shifted the risk of incomplete and disappearing content onto the subscriber.
Single-household subscribers who watch broadly across genres and are comfortable with a rotating, not permanent, library, those who build long watchlists or rewatch cancelled series will hit the library's instability hardest.
Content you start may be cancelled or stripped of seasons before you finish it, and the household verification system can lock out paying subscribers even during legitimate use like travel, with poor customer service available when it goes wrong.
