My Honest Thoughts on Pure Flix So Far
When we signed up for Pure Flix a couple of months ago, I was excited. A whole streaming service filled with clean, faith-based content sounded like a great idea. I figured it would be a nice alternative to other streaming platforms and give us something wholesome to watch.
But after spending some time browsing through their movies and shows, I have to be honest—it hasn’t really been my thing.
The Problem for Me: Too Much Drama
Now, I know a lot of people enjoy a good drama. But I’m not one of them. I’m talking about the kind of drama where it’s all about “he thinks he loves her but can’t decide if he loves her or her friend,” or endless relationship twists that feel more exhausting than entertaining. That’s just not my style.
Personally, I enjoy a good mystery—give me a suspenseful story, a case to solve, or a plot that keeps me guessing, and I’m hooked. Unfortunately, much of what I’ve come across on Pure Flix has been slow-moving or overly focused on emotional drama.
One show I have really enjoyed is the Ainsley McGregor series. It’s more in line with my taste—engaging, a little mystery, and characters that keep me coming back for more. If Pure Flix had more content like that, I think I’d be much happier with the subscription.
The Christmas Factor
I will say, around Christmas, Pure Flix tends to bring out some good films. The holiday season is where I think they shine the most. Warm, family-friendly Christmas movies are something they do well, and I do look forward to that time of year.
Honestly, I’m not sure. Right now, I’d say Pure Flix just isn’t the best fit for me. That’s not to say it’s bad—it’s just not matching my personal preferences. Some people absolutely love their content, especially if they enjoy heartfelt dramas and slower-paced storytelling. I’m just a bit pickier about what I watch.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference. Pure Flix has an audience that’s very happy with it, and that’s great! But for me, there's not too many films I've enjoyed on there so far.
I will give an update when I've had it longer.
