I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned here yet (or, at least, I haven't seen it). The shows are sparse at the moment, but I wonder how much of the library will eventually become available. The annual subscription fee seems reasonable, and the single rentals aren't too extreme either, but only assuming the bulk of their library becomes available.

I continue to find the offerings to be a great value.

Several new additions including A View from the Bridge and Benedict Cumberbatch in Frankenstein. And you can now rent individual shows for a few days for less than what a movie ticket costs.

I've rewatched the production of Angels in America multiple times to relive seeing it live on Broadway and in London.

I’m specifically hoping they add Follies and The Lehman Trilogy, but besides that it’s a really good collection of stuff. I saw most of the stuff in there are only available until January, I hope they extend it.

Agree with Follies although its return to movie theaters in September has me a bit less hopeful.

It's been around since, I believe, last November. The offerings are way too sparse, for a service that's been around so long. I imagine it's had to do with contractual obligations, but still. I wish they would upload The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.

I signed up to watch Angels in America......I watched a few other things.  I don't like the user interface of the site.  They don't have a lot to offer, the way they have it set up they are trying to make it look like they have a lot.  I wish there was one page that just listed everything so I can pick from there.  I am kind of surprised that they added Frankenstein, I was so stoked when they uploaded it to youtube when the pandemic first started. 

I did cancel my subscription, I wasn't planning on keeping it month after month.   With everyone having their own streaming service now, I usually sign up and watch what I want to watch and then cancel it for a few months.
