The VPN is essential, but Kodi? Popcorn gets me just about anything I don't want to pay for, and much easier than kodi.
BBC? From what I can see, they are still producing the higher quality stuff. Netflix is doing great with original content, The Irishman was a very, VERY ambitious attempt at a major movie, but fell a little short compared to cinema. However, I think that in the future they will only improve. It's an exciting time for avid couch potatoes!!!
