The other day there was a TV show I really wanted to watch, but did not have the correct streaming service for it. I impulsively bought one month and binged the series in one day. It had me thinking about how drastically different television is today. For instance, cable is practically gone and no one seems to have it anymore. Instead, there are tons of streaming services, and I wanted to know which one was best? Today I am going to discuss a couple of the most popular streaming services in the world. Let’s see which one is the best! 

Netflix: Netflix is the biggest streaming service in the world! With its extensive library of movies, TV shows, and original content. Netflix is the streaming service that has become mostly associated as binge worthy. I personally have Netflix and enjoy that there seems to be an option for everyone. 

Amazon Prime Video: I tried out Amazon Prime using a free trial for a bit, and I can say there were some nice movies I may be interested in watching, but I honestly didn’t see anything crazy on the app that I thought was worth keeping. Nonetheless, Amazon Prime offers a mix of popular TV shows, exclusive movies, and award-winning originals like “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Fleabag.”

Disney+: I believe Disney+ is something that I will always enjoy having, because Disney was my childhood, and I really enjoy watching not just old shows and movies, but new ones too! The streaming service ranges from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. WandaVision had to be one of my favorite shows I’ve watched on the streaming service so far!

Hulu: I enjoy Hulu specifically for reality TV and believe it offers a diverse selection of content, including next-day access to episodes of popular series, exclusive originals, and a vast library of movies. Its ad-supported subscription tier makes it an affordable option for students, but I simply hate the ads when watching my shows. 

I still think Netflix will always be my favorite streaming service. I just wish the variety was a tad bit larger. Nonetheless, whether you’re a casual viewer, a dedicated binge-watcher, or a die-hard fan of a particular genre or franchise, there’s never been a better time to cut the cord and dive into the world of streaming entertainment. Happy streaming! 🙂
