Honest Trailers Looks at Streaming Services Wilhelm Arcturus I just want to point out that I wrote my two posts about streaming services, yesterday’s and the previous one, before this video came out. That said, the profusion of streaming services and their popularity now during the pandemic makes it a timely topic, and the Screen Junkies teams looks into services beyond what I have explored so far. Of course, since I just wrote about some of those services, it is interesting to see where my opinion aligns or diverges from theirs. Also, I forgot that Netflix was no longer the place to watch Friends as HBO paid a bunch of money to have it on HBO Max. I might know that if I could access HBO Max rather than whatever HBO service I’m allowed to have on the Roku. Still, I feel solid with my own assessments. And even Honest Trailers cannot plumb the full depth of channels out there. My wife keeps asking me at bed time, when the lights are out and I have no electronics handy, if we can get Acorn or Britbox or some other oddball channel because she saw an ad for a show that we might want to watch and it is on that particular service. And don’t get me started on trying to explain how the PBS app works. If you are really hot on this topic, then you will probably enjoy the Honest Trailers Commentary video that goes along with the above, where they run through the trailer and talk about why they said what they did and expand upon their opinions. I enjoyed it. https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
