I was on BA back from London on Friday and the programme included Kingsman 2 which I watched, though afterwards not sure why I sat through the entire film.

While I feel CX IFE is not as good as before, it still leads AA, BA and JL, especially the new A350 business class system. One shame is CX used to show classic British comedies, but do not seem to anymore. Personally I feel modern UK sitcoms are unfunny and way too politically correct. To me it is rather sad that American sitcoms are better than the British ones. Rant over. At least CX shows a whole series, i.e. 'Brooklyn 99' or 'The Big Bang Theory' whereas BA and AA will have only a few token episodes from a series. Also agree with an earlier poster, what is it with airlines and '2 Broke Girls? Been on for years! I know AA, BA, CX and QF do source their programme material from the same California based aggregator, but does seem to be a conspiracy to keep that show permanently in (on) the air. Pun intended!

I still think CX is definitely an IFE leader and offers more choice than others. Though have noticed the FF button does not work on more popular shows so forced to watch or just wait for the ads to play.

Happy New Year!
