We bought a month of Netflix just to support this and black mirror but we were disappointed in this season of LD+R. Upon finishing we sat on the couch and calculated the hit to miss ratio of previous seasons compared to this one and found that for us the average hit to miss was more than half, like 60%. But for this season it was like 25%.
It feels especially bad when you've got multiple episodes that are just "wouldn't celebrity cameos be cool" or literal music vids. The misses felt both like lower lows or more commercialized. I'll continue to support LD+R for one more season but if they continue to slide I don't think we'll go through the hassle of resubscribing past that.
That being said, we need more animation, so if they were able to produce 3x the episodes a year or something, even at the worst hit to miss ratio they've had, I'd pay more for that. I think largely because the misses tend to be very short compared to like a bad episode of TV and the hits tend to be on the medium to long side of their episodes (although rarely ever hitting the 30 min mark). If they'd sell the physical/digital copies I'd also happily pay for that. But my willingness to subscribe to things not almost exclusively applies to FOSS or individual artists.
