One of the biggest draws of streaming services is live sports coverage. No longer a cable domain, sporting events are just as real-time and watchable on streaming as they are on traditional TV. The choices are plenty, but it gets tricky knowing which platforms are worth tuning into. 

If it's soccer—or if you're not American, football—you're specifically after, then we've rounded the streaming services you should consider adding to your lineup. The best streamer for Premier League fans is Peacock (the NBC-owned service has exclusive rights to the games), while those more interested in world soccer might want to look at ESPN+ and Paramount+ (the latter has rights to the European Cup). 

If you're willing to shell out a few more bucks, you can also consider Sling TV, which has Fox and ESPN, YouTube TV, which has a great DVR feature you can use to replay highlights, Hulu with Live TV, which has NBC (again, a must for Premier fans), and DirecTV Stream, which has a wide range of channels. Even the relatively unknown Vidgo and the non-sports-inclined AppleTV+ have their skin in the game. Vidgo has the all-important Fox and ESPN, while AppleTV+ has an MLS Season Pass for American soccer fans. 

Below is a full list of the best streaming services for soccer fans.

When it comes to apocalypse movies, Hollywood likes nothing more than a big 'ol blast. You don't have to look beyond genre staples like Armageddon and 2012 to know that. But there is so much more to the end of the world than just grandstand battles and empty heroic gestures. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with going big (why end things with a fizzle when you can go out with a bang?) but there are also other ways to relay the complexity of humanity's demise.

There's so much room for existential rumination and societal commentary, and you can go about it in a number of ways, be it experimental, comedic, or even romantic. So that's what the films below are: a mixed bag of the greatest and most underrated movies you'll find about the end of the world.

As a streaming service dedicated to horror and thriller films (that also distributes original programming across the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand), Shudder is a great place for genre fanatics and newbies alike. And through more curated picks and a range of horror-related documentaries and behind-the-scenes content, the service hopes to expand people's knowledge of horror—rather than offer them the exact same picks that everyone expects. This is great for horror-starved viewers in the UK who might not always get access to new genre fare on a regular basis. There's a growing library to explore on Shudder, but to get you started, we've narrowed down the choices to 10 of their best, listed here below.

Designed as a one-stop shop video-on-demand service, the Chili app offers thousands of movies for streaming across multiple devices—as well as cinema listings and merchandise for sale. And it's totally subscription-free, meaning one doesn't have to look through the entire library to gauge whether it's worth committing to a single purchase or rental. Not that you'll have a hard time looking for stuff to watch one by one—there are hundreds of little-known movies on the service that we at agoodmovietowatch vouch for as high-quality releases. But for now we've narrowed down our selection to 50 films that you should be able to enjoy at your own pace through Chili.

From box sets to live channels, it would seem like ITVX has it all. As the streaming arm of one of the UK's leading networks, it has over 10,000 hours of content to choose from, most of which are free (it also has a premium tier you can subscribe to if you don't want to see pesky ads). 

But TV shows and channels aside, ITVX actually boasts an enviable collection of movies on its platform. A cursory search will show you it has no shortage of classics like Kill Bill, Atonement, Drive, Boyhood, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, among plenty of others. The films also range from the 1950s well into the current decade, so rest assured: there is a lot to choose from. Maybe even too much.

To narrow down your choices, we've rounded up the very best films you can stream right on ITVX below.

There is a deluge of new shows arriving every week on streaming services, but only a few of them feel actually new. You see the same actors, the same plotlines, and the same sceneries, even, which are all likely produced by the same studios. 

But new content—that is, films and TV shows that are daring, fresh-faced, and exciting—are out there, even among the biggest streamers like Netflix and Amazon Prime. These old reliable are constantly updating their libraries with smaller gems after all, so you can be sure new titles are hiding somewhere beyond their algorithm-powered lists. 

But other streaming services, small but fierce, are also coming to the fore with fresh content. The movie streamer Mubi has cinema gold from all over the world, while free service Tubi is constantly pumping out originals on its platform. Below, we list all the best streaming services for discovering new content. 

We come to streaming services to relax and enjoy the latest TV has to offer, but as you’ve surely discovered by now, precious leisure time can be easily spoiled by a service’s unfortunate design, frustrating features, buggy controls, and endless lags. 

How many of us have logged on to HBO Max excited by the arrival of the latest prestige show, only to be thwarted by the platform freezing multiple times despite clicking refresh for the nth time? Or maybe you’ve gone to Amazon Prime to look for a nice weekend watch, but its clunky, 2000s-era design immediately turned you off and transported you to a more usable platform.

Now, to be fair, Amazon Prime has since redesigned its homepage to look cleaner and more appealing, and HBO Max promises to eliminate all lags once it's merged with Discovery+. But if anything, this just proves the significance of having a user-friendly interface. Netflix may not be coming up with the most original shows at the moment, but its sleek and intuitive platform gives it an edge over the competition. And the same can be said of Disney+, whose neat homepage and searchable categories makes it a no-brainer when looking for something to watch.

All of this is to say that a service can produce all the binge-worthy, discussion-sparking content they want, but if they’re not putting in the effort to make the interface usable, then they still have a ways to go to win the streaming wars.

So without further ado, below are all the streaming services—on-demand and live—that won't give you a headache navigating their corners.

For years, only a handful of streaming services released original content. Netflix topped the competition by performing exceptionally on both the quality and quantity fronts, while Amazon Prime and Hulu were never far behind. Between them, they produced recognizable shows like Stranger Things, Fleabag, and The Handmaid’s Tale, not to mention films that have gone on to receive wide acclaim. 

Original content ensures you’re getting your money’s worth when you subscribe to a service, and thankfully it’s something that’s almost become a prerequisite in the streaming world. Apple TV+ is fast becoming a contender in prestige TV, Showtime is the go-to place for thoughtful documentaries, and small-timers like Revry, Viki, and Britbox make the grade by providing niche content for those seeking out LGBTQ, Asian, and British-specific shows, respectively. 

There are plenty of services out there that provide in-house films and shows, and we rounded up the best of them in the list below.

From the country that gave us classic characters like Sherlock Holmes and James Bond also comes a tradition of noir, crime films, and suspense movies that are frequently referred to collectively as thrillers. In the UK—and on Netflix UK, in particular, these films have taken on every form, from hardboiled police procedurals to spy movies and working class social thrillers. But common to most, if not all, of them is a sense of danger or dread, and a certain level of deception or craftiness so the heroes can get what they need. These lesser-known but highly rated thrillers available on Netflix UK should give you that and more.

Slovakia may be small in size (it is nicknamed "Little Big Country" in Europe), but what it lacks in area, it sure makes up for in content. With over 800 titles to its name, Netflix Slovakia has one of the biggest streaming libraries in the world. To be sure, you'll never run out of things to watch in the country, but if you ever find yourself overwhelmed with options and need a good place to start, then you've come to the right place.

Below, we list the very best series on Netflix Slovakia right now. These are human-curated, watched and approved by our resident TV experts, so you can be sure that these are honest recommendations (not mere algorithm suggestions). Read on to see which shows made our favorites list.

Sometimes you just need to feel something, you know? Since the spread of cinema as an art form over 100 years ago, the medium has been used as a way of sharing and expressing emotion to a wide audience. In fact, many movies—especially on popular international platforms like Netflix—capitalize on this by mainly trying to get an emotional response out of you, sometimes bordering on manipulation or exploitation. So for this list, we've selected emotional movies on Netflix that may be sad, happy, or infuriating but, more importantly, are guaranteed to leave you feeling fulfilled either way.
