This really makes me sad :( The majority of the stuff I watch on Netflix is Starz content.

Fwaha. Netflix gargles zombie balls. Old zombie balls; the zombie you see that barely needs to have his head slapped to have it lopped off, the one that's pretty much falling apart from decay alone. Now that Party Down has left Netflix...it is all but dead. Tch! Psh! Feh! Meh~ I'm hoping to hear of its demise soon. Stupid site. Stupid people. Stupid computahs.

Party Down was easily my favorite Starz content on Netflix. It's such a shame that the show was cut after just two seasons. At least the ending final episode was a good one for the series to go out on.

That's a real shame. There is some excellent content in there.

Luckily I have Howls Moving Castle, so most of those aren't that much of a loss to me.

This has been known for quite some time.  For what I watch from NetFlix I don't really care.

Toy Story 3, Black Dynamite, Gurren Lagann, Party Down...a bunch of TV shows and movies were available on Netflix through Starz Play and tomorrow they won't be. :(

Guys, we've known about this since September. Why is everyone surprised?

Starz accounted for about 8% of their streaming. They'll fill that void rather quickly.

Yeah I know they were gonna lose it.  Just forgot that it would be so soon.  :(

Hopefully they'll fill the void with something of equal quality.

This, this is nothing new.  I cancelled my streaming a few monthes back.  Sometimes I wish I had it, but I pay good money for my directv so I can usually find something on tv to watch.
