     Criterion joins the growing army of companies that have, or plan to, launch streaming services and its channel is due on April 8th 2019.
     Read the news.

     Of all the new streaming services to be launch, this is the only one which I would be interested in.

     I'm scratching my head at this.
     
     Criterion's customer base is (for wont of a better word) arthouse. They tend to be a bit more cinephile, a bit more bothered about quality, and I suspect a bit more bothered about owning physical media.
     
     I may be completely wrong.
     
     But I'm trying to think why I'd pay a tenner a month, largely for films that I've already bought (from Criterion), or new releases which will be coming out on Criterion, and which I'd buy anyway.
     
     But that's maybe just me.

     They make superlative physical releases, I'd rather continue to buy them.

     Could still be easy to sign up. Depends on what info they want and if roaming is restricted.
     
     But I would be interested in this. Not sure how long for though. Cant see say after a year to watch as much as you can/want there will be any enough content to keep a sub going.

      ^
      I was subbed to Hulu USA for over 2 years and I still never managed to get through the entire Criterion/Eclipse selection, the UK Criterion streaming from Curzan started off good but soon became very limited in content due to right issues territories ect.
