With all of the internet-streaming options for TV nowadays, it can be hard to choose which ones to get. What will keep you up with all that you watch? So many people choose to not even have cable nowadays, and just stick to watching everything online.
Netflix was the original internet-streaming service. It started out as a movie rental service, in which DVD's would be sent straight to your door so you can watch them and mail them back. Many people got used to searching for that bright red envelope in their mailbox, but those days are over. Now, Netflix is a service that brings us movies, TV shows and more. The company even has original TV shows, their most popular being the sensation Orange Is The New Black. A lot of people just have this streaming service, and have stuck with it since it became a thing.
Hulu came after Netflix. It is basically almost cable, but in an online streaming service. You get to watch all the big shows that air on all the big channels the day after the episode airs. Hulu does have commercials, and that throws off some people. Why still watch commercials when the point of online streaming is to be able to skip them? If you don't have cable, Hulu is a great option and you get to watch all the big shows, just the day after.
HBO Now has only recently come about. It used to be only HBO Go, which was only available to people who paid for HBO with their cable package. If you don't have cable, how were you supped to watch Game of Thrones? This year, HBO Now was released, and it works just like Netflix or Hulu, where you pay a monthly fee for access to the service. HBO Now gives you access to all the HBO shows, as well as many movies. Some believe that it has an even better selection of movies than Netflix.
No matter what online streaming service you're using, you are guaranteed an entertaining time. If you decide to have a movie night with friends, odds are the group together will have a combination of all three, bringing you the largest selection of an entertaining night.
