Netflix is one of the pioneers of the streaming industry. Currently, it is also the most popular streaming service worldwide and is available in most countries out of other streaming platforms. The streamer also has the largest number of movies and TV series with its own original works. In 2022, there have been over 80 Netflix original movies and shows premiering. Many of them are successful hits globally including The Squid Game, Heartstopper, Stranger Things, 13 Reasons Why… Its gaming options have also been launched earlier this year that allow users to play video games on this platform. It is probably the best choice for movie geeks. 

Disney Plus (with Hulu and ESPN Plus, from $8 to $20 per month)

Disney is a giant in the movie industry. It owns subsidiaries consisting of Marvel Entertainment, ESPN, ABC News, National Geographic, Pixar, 20th Century Studios and several other companies. Therefore, Disney Plus also offers a wide variety of movies and TV shows including Disney classics, Marvel works, Pixar feature films, 20th Century feature films and so many more. If you are a big fan of the Avengers, Ironman, Captain America, Thor, Loki, Rapunzel, Brave, Snow White,… this is definitely the perfect option for you. Otherwise, with several bundles, you might get access to other services like Hulu, National Geographic and ESPN+. The biggest backlash is that it’s not available in some countries and regions. 

HBO Max ($10 to $15 per month)

HBO Max offers some of the most popular TV series at the moment like Euphoria, House of Dragon, The White Lotus, Hacks,… It features Warner Brothers-owned feature films, Studio Ghibli animated films, DC Universe titles and obviously HBO’s entire library. With a quite pricey subscription fee, the movies and TV series on this platform have significant quality that are worth paying for. For kids, it is not as diverse as Disney Plus but is better than any other service. 

Amazon Prime Video ($9 per month or pay-per-view)

Prime Video is producing quite some notable TV shows and movies recently including Lord Of The Rings: Rings Of Power and The Boys. However, its entire library is not accessible because several titles require a renting or buying fee. Compared to other platforms, it is somehow limited and confusing for several people. If you don’t mind paying for each movie or TV series, you might consider choosing it.
