We know television series aren't used nearly as often as films are as teaching tools, but there's still a wealth of TV out there that can provide many discussion points on various subjects—especially those that might take longer to cover in the classroom. And these shows don't always have to be documentaries or educational TV either; one can learn just as much from comedy, drama, or even action while being entertained in the process. Here we've gathered 10 little-known and underseen series that prove to be instructive and informational, whether or not they originally set out to educate or not.

Pouring hours of your time into a series that'll just leave you feeling down sounds counterintuitive, but when they're done well, sad shows often have much to tell us about how we connect to other people. And since television allows us to get to know a wider range of characters arguably better than many films do, our personal perspectives can be challenged every which way. So here, we've compiled a list of what we think are the best of these "depressing" shows that you likely haven't seen yet. And hopefully they'll help you remember that feeling sad just means you've allowed yourself to care—and that can't be a bad thing.

If you're a comedy or sports fan—or better yet, both—you'll want to have TBS on your roster of channels. Apart from housing sitcoms that range from Bob's Burgers and American Dad to Miracle Workers and Young Sheldon, it also covers Major League Baseball and e-sports, among other sporting events. 

For that reason, most if not all live TV streaming services carry TBS on their lineup. But in case you've already decided that YouTube TV isn't for you and are on the lookout for something else, we've got you covered. Below, we've gathered the best streamers you can watch TBS on that aren't YouTubeTV.

As one of the top three most-watched cable news networks in the US (along with Fox and CNN), MSNBC has had no problem finding a spot among live TV providers. You can access it almost anywhere, but if for some reason you've ruled out YouTube TV from your viewing options: we've got you covered. Below, we round up the best live TV streaming services you can watch MSNBC on, sans YouTube. Check it out if you're looking to hear hardline views from journalists like Rachel Maddow, watch true crime from feature shows like Dateline, or generally just get updated on the latest happenings in the world. 

If you're in the middle of learning a new language, you may already know how helpful movies and TV shows are to the process. They help you hear how native speakers pronounce words and use them in context, which are already invaluable lessons in themselves. But in streaming, you get the added benefit of replacing the audio and subtitles with your target language, not to mention viewing a wide array of foreign titles on demand. 

The best streaming services for language learning, then, are those that offer all the above and more. On that note, Netflix is still unbeatable given its diverse content, followed only by Amazon Prime and, perhaps surprisingly, Apple TV+. For its part, Apple TV+ has done well to provide a plethora of languages—not just the usual Spanish and French—for its learning audience. But if your only goal is knowledge acquisition, you might also want to check out Lingopie, which was created specifically for language learning. Read on to see which services made our list.

YouTube TV is by far one of the best live TV streaming services out there. As an alternative to cable, it's got you covered on pretty much everything from channel lineup to DVR storage to general accessibility. That said, the platform is not without its faults. It can be pricey compared to other streamers, and it doesn't cover regional news and sports as profusely as the others do. 

If you aren't onboard the YouTube TV train for whatever reason but are on the lookout for alternatives that offer your favorite channel—which we're guessing is ABC, since you're still reading this article—then we've got you covered. With shows like Abbot Elementary, Grey's Anatomy, The Good Doctor, Shark Tank, American Idol, and The Bachelor (the list goes on and on), we know you'll want to know which specific platform carries this channel. So below, without further ado, we list the best services you can watch ABC on. 

Nothing is ever truly original anymore, least of all in cinema—where filmmakers are constantly inspired by each other and proudly pay homage to earlier works. But there can be a point when movies begin to feel safe and same-y, especially if you're streaming, buying, and renting from a service with as wide a library as Amazon Prime. So we at agoodmovietowatch have put together a list of films that aren't only underseen by general audiences but can actually serve as a reminder of what movies can accomplish if filmmakers really think outside the box, while still honoring the greats before them.

People say that the demand to fill streaming services with new content can spell the death of originality. And while there's definitely a debate to be had there, one can't deny that every once in a while something truly one-of-a-kind slips through the cracks. And between the films dubbed Netflix Originals only by name, we at agoodmovietowatch have narrowed down some under-appreciated, high-quality movies that we think really carry the torch for originality on the streaming giant. They might not be the most popular titles, but the risks they're willing to take teach us new ways of expression and help push the art form forward.

With so many viewing options at our fingertips, why do we still seek out films that depress us? As counterproductive as they may seem, sad movies—when handled well—still offer a necessary release that can't be found in hours of feel-good content. So while you may have to be in a particular mood to sit through and really process many of the films on this list we've put together, profound lessons still await the patient, attentive viewer. As one of the biggest streaming services in the world, Amazon Prime arguably has the widest variety of movies to offer to a mass online audience, which makes it a great place to experience every shade of depressing, cathartic, invigorating sadness.

Despite being a US territory, Puerto Rico sadly does not have access to all the live TV streaming services in mainland America. Major players like YouTubeTV and Paramount+ aren't available on the island, while Hulu only offers on-demand, not live, content. 

Thankfully, there are still a number of streamers that are accessible in the area—most notably Sling TV and its enticing bundles. Aside from its wide array of networks, Sling also has a Spanish-language package packed with channels and titles that anyone can enjoy. Below, we list the best live TV streaming services you can use in Puerto Rico.

With so many streaming platforms out there, it's easy to feel like you're missing out. But instead of individually purchasing and switching between countless subscriptions, there is a case to be made that add-ons and bundles are the most cost-effective way to cover ground and stay on top of the latest movies and TV shows.

The Disney+ bundle (which includes Hulu and ESPN+) has something for each family member, while Sling TV packages can be customized for anybody and everybody. It has news, entertainment, and sports channel bundles—name it, Sling probably has it. And if you're looking for something more specific to your viewing needs, plenty of streamers are available as add-ons to existing platforms like Amazon Prime and Hulu. These extras, as they're sometimes called, include Starz, Showtime, Paramount+, and AMC+. 

Below, we list the best cord-cutting add-ons currently available in the market.

The good news is that most (if not all) live TV streaming services allow you to record and store content via cloud DVR. Even better, a number of them allow unlimited hours of recording, which you can then store from 30 days up to a whole year. Of course, cloud DVR shouldn't be the sole basis for picking one streamer over the other, but given its range across platforms, it's certainly worth considering. Besides, for many of us, it's this nifty feature that finally convinced us to cut the cord and move into streaming.

Right off the bat, you should know that YouTube TV's DVR touts unlimited storage, currently making it the best in this regard. But other streamers, which we've listed down below, are still worth checking out since they compete in areas like channel line-up, price, and time limit. Read on to see how they stack against each other. 

Amazon Prime is, hands down, the best streaming service for watching Westerns. Not only does its catalog include classics from the early 20th century, but it also boasts original titles. Prime's The English and Outer Range, for instance, are inventive takes on the genre. But if you're looking for the best streaming service for your Wild West needs, there are other places to look to too. Max is a worthy contender, considering it has some of the most diverse libraries in general, and so are Netflix and The Criterion Channel. 

Below, we list down the best streaming services you can check out for quality Westerns. 

Because HBO tends to be known for its adult-oriented programming and darker original series, people may forget that the network's library is wide enough for it to still include feel-good entertainment. Thanks to their access to some older classics and premiere exports from other countries, HBO is just as viable an option for viewers in need of a pick-me-up or in need of options for casual group viewing. So we at agoodmovietowatch have put together a list of high-quality films available on the service that might not be your obvious choices, but that should still leave you satisfied and with a smile on your face.
