We pay for an ad-free tier and our downloads "expired" when we were in the middle of nowhere. They still existed on our device and on the service, we just couldn't play them.

That got my wife annoyed enough that I think I can convince her to just buy DVDs again. $15/month is 1-2 DVDs/month, and that's about what we watch anyway. We won't get Netflix originals, but that's fine with me. If we ever need any of those, we can just binge for a month.
