Despite growing competition in recent years, Amazon Prime has firmly held its own with a regular crop of both original and licensed films. This hasn't changed in 2023, when Amazon Prime saw the successful release of critically acclaimed hits like Air, Totally Killer, Cassandro, and The Burial. But beyond these star-studded films, Prime hosts a wealth of other titles from smaller studios and different countries that may not be as well-known but are just as engaging and entertaining.
Below you will find our recommendations for the best movies of 2023 on Amazon Prime. These recommendations are all highly rated by viewers and acclaimed by critics. They were also watched and vouched for by one of our writers.
It happens—you click play on the TV, only to get an error message saying you can't continue because "you're watching on too many devices." Most streaming services cap the number of concurrent streams to 10, which might not be enough if you have a large household or are constantly on the go. Thankfully, there are a handful of services out there that allow you to watch on plenty more devices.
For our money, DirecTV Stream is the best streaming service that allows viewing for an unlimited number of devices. Though "unlimited" here means 20 concurrent streams and 3 on the go, that should be more than enough, especially since DirecTV applies this as a rule to all of its plans, even its most basic one which starts at $65/month.
The next best services that allow unlimited devices are YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV. Unlike DirecTV, they don't state how "unlimited" their unlimited plans are (although they invite you to test on as many screens as possible), and both services charge an extra $10/month for this feature. On YouTube TV, it's called the 4k Plus Add-on, which throws in offline DVR downloads and 4k viewing on top of unlimited screens, while on Hulu with Live TV, it's the Unlimited Screens Add-on, which also gives you 3 separate streams on the go. You can read more about these packages and other features they offer in the list below.
Since it's pretty much the standard resolution, 4k viewing isn't hard to come by in streaming. Many on-demand services include it among its features, but live TV is a trickier thing. Live feeds require more data and faster speeds, plus they're often more expensive than on-demand services, so getting 4k as an add-on might be heavy on the wallet. Still, once you watch live events—especially live sports—in 4k, it's hard to go back to anything less. In this case, the best live TV services streaming in 4k UHD are YouTube TV, Fubo, and DirecTV Stream.
For YouTube TV, you'll have to purchase the 4k Plus add-on, but if you can spare paying an extra $10/month, then the service allows you to watch select channels, including ESPN, Fox Sports, Nat Geo, and FX, in crisp and clear 4k. The add-on also gives you access to unlimited streams and offline DVR viewing. Meanwhile, Fubo and DirecTV Stream are perfect for viewing even more sporting events, although you should note that they only offer select events in this resolution. Hulu with Live TV and Peacock Premium also have 4k, but as of this writing, they're sadly limited to their on-demand library.
As the sister network of the much larger Univision network, Unimas also broadcasts Spanish-language content in the United States, but it notably focuses on the youth sector, so along with telenovelas, it also has reality shows, sports programs, Spanish-dubbed films, and imported features. If you're tuning into one of its 40 local stations around the country, you'll also get to hear news and updates around the neighborhood — thankfully, without the need for a cable or antenna.
If you're going cordless, the best streaming services to watch your local Unimas channel are Fubo, YouTube TV, and Xfinity Choice TV. These live TV packages, while pricey, comprehensively address any and all streaming needs you might have. Aside from Unimas, they also have a host of live channels, DVR storage, and on-demand content to name a few. However, if you're on a budget and only want Spanish-language content, then the Univision NOW app is another handy option. For just $11/month, you can get live stream feeds of both Unimas and Univision local channels depending, of course, on where you are. You can read more about these services in the list below.
As the biggest and oldest Spanish-language network in the US, Univision has no shortage of TV stations around the country. It covers every major market, including New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, and Miami, and it's made sure to keep up with streaming by creating its own dedicated service, Univision NOW.
If price is your primary concern, then Univision NOW is the best streaming option to watch your local Univision station. At just $11/month, you get the local channel along with on-demand content, cloud DVR, and sports highlights. But it only covers select markets, so if you want something more comprehensive, both in terms of geography and streaming features, then your best bets are live TV services Fubo and YouTube TV. Both offer local Univision channels and even have specialized plans that allow you to add more Spanish-language channels for an extra fee. You can read more about the services in the list below.
Founded in 1984, Telemundo is one of the biggest networks to broadcast news, sports, telenovelas, and educational programs for Hispanic and Spanish-speaking viewers in the United States. With 28 stations encompassing several states, it also has one of the widest coverage of local Spanish stations, penetrating up to 57 percent of all households in the country.
Thanks to its ubiquity, it's always been easy to access the local Telemundo on TV, and though more people are going cordless nowadays, the same still holds true for streaming. If you don't have a cable connection or an antenna, the best services to tune into for Telemundo local viewing are YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo. All three live TV streaming services offer different tiers that can accommodate different budgets, but we've made sure to only include the plans that carry local Telemundo channels.

With 28 different stations scattered across the US, CBS has one of the widest coverages of local stations in the country. It airs pretty much everywhere, and that includes online. You no longer need an antenna or a cable connection to tune into your local CBS station, although if you're a cord-cutter, you should know that not all streaming services carry it.
The best service to watch CBS local channels is Paramount+ Premium (also known as the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan). Since they're owned by the same parent company, Paramount+ is very likely to carry your local live CBS station and offer it a fairly reasonable price. If you're looking for a more comprehensive package, DirecTV Stream, Hulu with Live TV, Fubo, and YouTube TV are worthy options too— pricier, but still worth checking out.
Below, we list the best streaming services that carry local CBS channels.
PBS has always been an accessible educational resource for TV viewers of all ages, and that hasn't changed in the streaming age. The free-to-air service's broadcasts and local live streams are available almost everywhere, including on their website, PBS.org.
But when it comes to streaming services, the best way to watch PBS local channels is through live TV platforms like DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV. They might be on the pricier side, but their solid interface and extensive lineup of both live and on-demand content justify the price. Meanwhile, the cheapest way to watch local channels is via PBS' free and downloadable app. You can watch it on major streaming devices, and if you want to extend your selection to include exclusive films and TV shows like the award-winning series Finding Your Roots, then you can purchase PBS Passport for an additional monthly fee.

Cord-cutting has made it so that you don't need an antenna to tune in to your local news. Many live TV streaming services are equipped with local channels, but getting your preferred channels largely depends on your location and specific subscription.
If it's an affiliate NBC station you're after, then below, we've gathered the best streaming services that carry NBC local channels for you. Your best bets in this case are Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, and DirecTV. They're on the pricier side, but they do offer an extensive local channel lineup if you want more options. If you're budget, however, then Peacock Premium, Sling TV, and the free service NewsOn are decent options as well. Do note, however, that the latter two only cover select markets, so you should check their sites if your area is covered.
The most popular free streaming services on Amazon Fire TV are Tubi, Pluto TV, and Xumo TV. Peacock no longer offers a free tier but the arrival of new services like Sling TV's "Freestream" means that there are more and more free things to watch every day.
2023 saw an unprecedented rise in theater attendance, especially at the height of #Barbenheimer during the summer, but that doesn't mean streaming is lagging far behind. In fact, video rental platforms like Itunes put up movies (in 4k and Dolby Atmos no less) as soon as their theatrical run comes close to the end. Yes, Itunes movies can be quite pricey, but if you're looking for something truly fresh, then it's the way to go.
