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!
That post was written about 37 days ago..which makes Kingsman 2 100+ days after release. If you are on CX metal, you would see it too. I have to agree it was not as good as the first one, and I was very disappointed at the theater.
Interestingly, CX also offers the new Golden Globe Best Film (Drama) winner, 3 Billboards. The best part for me is watch the independent (of course not on a timely manner) on CX after the award season so I don't need to find a small theater to watch (Call me by your name for instance) in the U.S.. AA also has them but sometimes misses a couple.
