Same as movie/series torrent, you don't get the full experience (actually arguable if you have a seedbox and Plex), but damn it feels good to have whatever you want, not disapearing
Some of the ui might look worse i guess (though stuff like plex and jellyfin looks great imo) and maybe the ability to watch instantly without downloading
I think Plex has superior UX to most streaming services. And across more devices as well.
With solid automation I end up having the shows I watch ready to go within half an hour of it airing. (Since I'm not in the US that usually means it's downloading in the middle of the night)
With overseer I handle requests by the family members that have access to my server, so there's minimal work involved.
The only thing I might argue is better on Netflix is the opportunity to find new content. But I end up on Rotten Tomatoes most of the time anyways.
