If you can go to a source of older content it often comes pre-filtered for the better stuff too, so you don't have to wade through a ton of rubbish to find the occasional gem like you do with the new stuff.

Can you point out some resources for that?

Criterion Collection

Or

Janus Films

Both offer the best films of all time.

Very cool! Thank you!

Reviews from sites like IMDb and rotten tomatoes. As a movie or series is older, or finished, the general audience has had plenty of time to review it and if it’s fondly remembered, then it might get mentioned on here or other social platforms.

The issue with new content is that it can be amazing at first and then they release the last two episodes and ruin pretty much the entire series, eg. Game of thrones, and more recently, secret invasion.

Secret invasion really shocked me in its brutality in unceremoniously taking out loved characters.

But thanks for elaborating. :)

It's worth checking whether your local library subscribes to Kanopy.

Will do, thanks.
