Best Substitute for Netflix? Xtrium's Podcast

I have an exciting thing for you today. I’m sure everyone here knows Netflix; it’s the biggest video streaming service in the world! It’s where we get our daily dose of great TV series such as Friends, Grey’s Anatomy, Crash Landing on You (for the K-drama fans out there), and a whole lot more.
But, while many of you will agree that Netflix is totally awesome, we’ve all had nights wherein we just can’t find anything good to watch. Is it the curse of the paradox of choice? Maybe, maybe not. So if you find yourself in an endless loop of scrolling and scrolling or rewatching the same thing, you’re not alone. We’ve all been there.
So let me tell you this: Netflix isn’t the only streaming service out there. And if you don’t have Netflix yet, there are tons of other services that offer great movies and TV shows! Plus, it gets better.
Some of these Netflix substitutes are free.
Let’s start with Amazon Prime Video. Some might argue that it is the best substitute out there. I can definitely see why with shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, House, Orphan Black, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Homecoming, Them, and more.
You can get Amazon Prime Video if you’re an Amazon Prime member. This is priced at $12.99 a month! But if you just want the streaming service alone, you can also get that for $8.99 a month.
The next one has equally a lot to offer. I’m sure many of you have downloaded it recently because this next streaming service is HBO’s very own HBO Max. Yup, where you can watch Friends: The Reunion special. If that isn’t enough for you, HBO Max also has Game of Thrones, Chernobyl, Barry, and Gossip Girl, among many others.
It gets even better. HBO Max subscribers have access to non-HBO content like Doctor Who and Pretty Little Liars. The service also provides streaming access to Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Studio Ghibli, and more.
The sad part, though, is that it’s a teeny bit more expensive. HBO Max will set you back $14.99 per month! If you don’t mind 4-minute ads every hour, you can opt for their $9.99 plan.
But if you don’t want to have a monthly subscription, Crackle is a great Netflix substitute. It’s free and has amazing content! The catch?? It has ads. Before you can watch something, a 30-second commercial will play. Then it’ll show you 3 ads if you’re watching a TV show, 9 if you’re watching a movie.
However, I still think that’s a pretty sweet deal. I mean, it is free, after all.
That’s all I have for today, folks! When you're tired of Netflix, check out these other streaming services that are just as terrific.
