With the launch of HBO MAX here is how I rank the Streaming services and favorite thing I watched recently.
- netflix. because of how much original content they release. they literally have a show for everyone. They used to light years ahead of everyone but due to streaming wars they have been losing Licensed content. Extraction and unbelievable were two of the thing I enjoyed recently.
- HBO MAX. HBO creates great content and I know I get more Movies for the same price. they currently don't have much original content due to covid, but I suspect they will have some excellent originals (Jj abrams and HBO people). Succession and Barry alone are worth the 15 dollars a month. Favorite thing I watched was a rewatch of Barry.
- Hulu. after the first two it's a major step down. Hulu has a lot of content, it's just hard to find. until recently hulu focused on broadcast tv (most shows suck) instead of originals. This year they have really started to churn out some great content thanks to FX and Neon. many would put Disney+ ahead but I enjoy Hulu adult content instead of Disney kid focused content. Dave is one the funniest shows released this year. Dave and Big time Adolescence are things I enjoyed on Hulu
- Disney+. they have a large catalog of content but they lack of good originals outside two star wars shows frustrates me. in a few years when they get better original they could move up the list. outside the MCU and star wars movies, nothing else excites me. If I had kids it would be number 2. I canceled my subscription last month but enjoyed watching all the MCU movies this last month.
- Starz. their movie catalog is very underrated and its worth pay for a few months. great movies like Moneyball, Gone baby Gone and Once upon a time in Hollywood are some of the movies I rewatched.original content is subpar, but I only watch the movies. I would not subscribe for a year, but its still worth checking out. Gone baby Gone is great
- Amazon. amazon makes great content just not enough (they release maybe 3 shows a month) and their catalog is sparse. If it was not included in prime I would not pay for it. Upload and Jack Ryan are the only things I remember watching this past year.
- Peacock. I love the office and Parks and Recs but I still don't know anything else about this service.
- Showtime has one good show (billions) and maybe one good movie in its catalog (saw superbad a few weeks ago). I got Showtime for free I barely use it. I don't know why anyone would pay for showtime streaming or how Showtime makes money. Billions is deffeinty ment for HBO ,but got passed on and ended up on showtime. Billions by a mile
DOA: Quibi. Quibi Sucks. I downloaded it the first day and deleted it the next day. they are going to shut down soon and all their content is going to other services (they don't own IP for anything). cogrants to every one that secruded a bag from Quibi. watch a ad before a episode and then didn't watch anything else.
Did I forget any Service?
