The early streaming catalog was pretty huge compared to what it is today. They were the only name in town and there wasn't anywhere for IP rights holders to pull out and park their content instead, so there was a lot of TV shows and movies from major studios on the streaming service. DVD service had seemingly everything every made into a DVD.


From what I recall from those early days though is the streaming catalog was constantly shuffling what was available. You could bookmark some movie you wanted to watch, and then a couple weeks later, it suddenly wasn't available anymore - 2 months later it would return.

Certainly convenient though if you didn't care much when you saw something.
