These days, streaming is more straightforward than ever. If you have a newer TV, all you have to do is select one of the built-in apps and sign up to start watching. You have more options with devices such as an Apple TV, Netflix or Hulu, and you don’t have to be a tech expert to operate them.
Netflix
The granddaddy of streaming built a dynasty on engaging shows with established fan bases, like Friends and Grey’s Anatomy. Then Netflix went all in on award-winning and fan-favorite originals such as House of Cards. Now it’s also the go-to for comedy specials with the likes of Jim Gaffigan and more, making it vital to stand-up fans.
Hulu
Once little more than Netflix’s replacement, Hulu is coming for top billing. Since Disney purchased the streamer in 2019, it has turned Hulu into a giant:abasic subscription includes original Hulu shows Only Murders in the Building. Go for Hulu’s Live TV and you’ll get 95-plus channels including the big networks, ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox.
Apple TV+
Apple’s is the only major service with original programming and no ads. That means no list of old shows to binge-watch,only the new cutting-edge series and films produced by Apple Studios that tend to cap best-of year-end roundups, including Ted Lasso.
