My wife and I watch everything together, so this is how I would rank them based on what we watch and the total experience

A Tier
HBO Max, Apple

B Tier
Netflix, Hulu, Disney+

C Tier
Prime, Peacock, Paramount

$8.99 with ads. WTF are the ads for? I get Spectrum through my condo HOA dues and that comes w/ a ton of +ads streaming like DIsney+, Peacock, Paramount+, HBO, etc. Netflix and Prime are not remotely worth it.

Really the only thing they have on there is Breaking Bad, Trailer Park Boys, and a few stand up shows I like but have already seen. They don't have anything else on there that interests me. It ain't worth having for $21 a month.

I’d look to see if there was any opt out for that garbage. Yikes.

There are some good shows on Netflix I watch. Docs, The Gentlemen, and some other stuff.

I have the basic plan that's like 10 bucks, but I'm thinking of canceling too. I rarely use Netflix anymore

26.99 - 4K & HDR


I have the 1080p with with ads because the crappy Optimum service in my area is not good enough to take advantage of 4K/HDR.

Just a few minutes ago was watching something and here comes the pixelating BS.

The wife and I watch together but not everything.

The last shows we watched together on Netflix is Reacher and Dept. Q. Reacher subsequent seasons after season 1 were fine but not great. We enjoyed Dept Q but apparently they just started production of season 2 and won't be released until 2027.

We enjoy Prime plenty enough with the PBS Masterpiece different series which are free to Prime at times especially Endeavor and Van der Valk.

Documentaries and stand up rank near the bottom of what we watch together.

Who pays for streaming services? Do the 1-2 month free trial, watch what you want, cut off, then move on to the next one. Rinse and repeat.

If you have Walmart + you can choose either Paramount or Peacock & swap it every 3 or 6 months.

Sounds like you're getting a discount on the premium plan.






No it doesn't. It sounds like he's getting ripped off with the middle plan and no 4k. What a load of crap you have to pay extra for that.

We cancelled Netflix and will just fire it back up when S2 of the Gentlemen drops and for when Bridgerton and Wednesday is back around.

Prime,


You should look at adding Britbox to Prime. The Brits can make some damn good TV.

Maybe. But I don’t care. The ad plan is less than 1/2 of the lower tier premium.

Netflix has some good originals but the time between seasons is ridiculous.

Y'all know you can just cancel things without announcing it, right?

I'm not sure that's how it works. I think we have to let the board know when we plan to change our streaming habits. I was already ramping up to make my announcement about how we were going to cancel Paramount once the kids were back in school, I'm still looking for the completely unrelated reason to blame it on.

I think Prime sucks. I might be the only one

Their UI blows


It's by far the worst of the ones I subscribe to. Content is bad and UI is horrible. Only have it because we pay for Prime. If they ever separated the Prime and Prime video memberships I'd easily drop it. But given how much crap Mrs. Iwy orders, it's well worth it.

HBO and Apple are pretty significantly above the rest. I could cancel Netflix if it wasn't for true crime documentaries and Paramount if not for UFC. BritBox is very underrated.
