Adrenaline rushes, unpredictable mysteries, and dark and intense themes… Sometimes, instead of wanting comfort from a family drama, or the heartwarming love of a rom-com, we want our media to challenge us, keep us on our toes, and make us sweat. We want to know the terrifying possibilities of what could happen with new technology, or the scary side of what humanity already has to offer. We want to watch a thriller.
If you want to be held in suspense, but you’re looking for something new, here’s our list of this year’s best thrillers.

The picture-in-picture feature in video streaming is a godsend for the multitasker in all of us. Picture-in-picture (or PiP) allows us to keep a video running in a small corner of our device, while operating other applications that could use the lion’s share of the screen. Such tasks may include reading and researching, jotting down notes and responding to messages, and attending to all kinds of work without having to pause-and-play ad infinitum. And so, in this article, we’ve compiled the best streaming services that support picture-in-picture, along with more information about each of them that may cater to your preferences.

If you're an intercontinental hopper who's always on the go, there are two things you'll always want on the ready: something to watch for those long-haul flights and a VPN account to make sure you can still access your account wherever you are. That latter part gets especially tricky with streaming services that have strict geo-block restrictions like Disney+, which doesn't let you use your account outside of your home country, and Hulu, which isn't available outside the US. Thankfully, Disney+ and Hulu, along with most major platforms are pretty easy to use with the help of a VPN. Amazon Prime, meanwhile, continues to have some of the strongest blockers out there. So in this article, we're listing the best streaming services that are both VPN- and offline-download-friendly. That way, you can still watch your favorite TV shows and movies wherever you are.

Remember at the height of the lockdown when Watch Party was a thing, and you could share what you were watching with multiple friends who were miles away? Apple has a version of that called SharePlay, and it works by allowing everyone on a FaceTime call watch whatever film or TV show you play from a supported streaming app. Of course, it works for Apple TV+, but SharePlay is supported across multiple platforms too, including Amazon Prime, Disney+, Hulu, and Paramount+. However, one name you won’t see there is Netflix: the streamer doesn’t have the best working relationship with Apple, which is perhaps why it recently disabled AirPlay too. Still, as you can tell from this article's title, there are many other services to choose from. But before that, two things things to keep in mind: one is that all the participants in SharePlay must have an existing subscription to whatever service you decide to play, and two is that as many as 32 people can join in a call and enjoy this nifty feature. Now, without further ado, here are the best streaming services that allow SharePlay.

Airplay is a great and easy way to cast whatever you’re watching from one device (usually an iPhone) to another (usually a TV). But sadly, it’s also a feature that’s not compatible with all streaming services. Notably, Netflix does not allow Airplay due to a lack of agreement with Apple. The same goes for Xfinity apps like Peacock and Now TV, as well as DirecTV Stream and MLB.tv.
Luckily, it does work on most other major streaming services, including on-demand services like Hulu, Disney+, Max, and Amazon Prime, as well as live TV services like YouTube TV, Fubo, and Sling. They do note, however, that you have to cast from a mobile device like an iPhone or iPad, not a MacBook, for this to work. So below, to save you some time, we list all the streaming services that allow AirPlay.

Thanks to a deal closed by Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery, you can only watch NCAA men’s basketball games on CBS and Turner channels TBS, TNT, and TruTV. That means among on-demand services, your best bets at watching March Madness live are Paramount+ and Max (with the B/R add-on). You can also choose among live TV streaming services that carry the channels above—that’s most major providers including Sling (for the budget-conscious), DirecTV Stream (for those with money to spare), and Hulu with Live TV (for those looking to stream lower-tier college basketball matches on ESPN+, which comes with the package). Notably, Fubo does not carry any of the Turner channels, but it’s an otherwise great option for other kinds of games, including NBA matches.
Meanwhile, women’s college basketball games are often available on ESPN and ABC, so you’ll want to look at streaming services that carry those channels.
Below, we list the best streaming services for watching college basketball.

The major networks you’ll need to follow for the best college football coverage are ESPN, ESPN2, and Fox Sports 1, as well as local channels like ABC, CBS, and NBC, and college conference networks like SEC, Big Ten, AAC, ACC, and more elusively, Pac-12. The good news is they’re all available across different streaming platforms, so you don’t need cable to watch them live. The not-so-good news is because they’re so scattered, they can get tricky to follow.
We’ll try to simplify things in this guide, but generally, the coverage gets better the more expensive a streaming service gets—such is life. Cheaper on-demand services tend to offer limited but exclusive coverages, so Peacock has Big Ten Football for instance, while ESPN+ has more than 25 conference networks, including the Ivy League, though no ESPN channel (yes, there’s a difference). Live TV services have even more football channels, like Sling Orange+Blue, which has ESPN, ESPN2, and FS1. If you add the Sports Extra, you can also watch Pac-12, SEC, ACC, and Big Ten on it.
Another notable live TV streaming service is Hulu with Live TV, which apart from carrying major conference networks, also has local channels (including CBS Sports), and all the ESPN essentials, including the live channels and ESPN+. It does not, however, have Pac-12 and Longhorn. You’ll get Pac-12 in the pricier Fubo, which has a more diverse selection of sports channels including NHL Network, if you wanna move up to the bigger leagues. We also included DirecTV here because it’s great at covering local channels, plus its Choice package (though again not the cheapest) has a nice selection of conference networks including ACC, Big Ten, and SEC.
Below are all the best streaming services for streaming college football here in the US.

Originally a celebrity coverage channel in the vein of E! or Inside, REELZ has recently pivoted to crime, biopic, and docudrama programming. It still covers famous people, but it skews toward scandal and controversy more than anything. You may know it now for shows like Cops, On Patrol: Live, Celebrity Page, and Most Shocking. If you've been wanting to watch REELZ but don't have an antenna, no sweat: the channel is available on a couple of live TV streaming services we've listed below. Do note that in some cases, like in Sling, you'll have to purchase an add-on to start watching REELZ.

Right off the bat, YouTube TV stands out among the three live TV plans because of its price. It's the most expensive of the bunch at a whopping $73, but with that tag comes a stacked lineup of channels including local affiliates from CBS, PBS, and The CW, which are the only major broadcasters missing from Sling Blue's local lineup (except for Local Now, Sling Orange does not come with local channels). It also has a user-friendly interface, unlimited cloud DVR, and add-ons you can purchase so you can bump your package to include premium channels like HBO and Showtime. But while we're on the topic, no one really does add-ons like Sling. Sure, Sling Orange and Sling Blue only carry about half the number of channels YouTube has, but they have a host of add-ons ranging from $5 to $11 that you can stack to your package. In some markets, Sling Orange is even cheaper than Sling Blue, but don't be fooled: it has channels that Sling Blue doesn't have, namely, Disney and ESPN channels. And for its part, Sling Blue has Bravo, Discovery Channel, FX, and USA. There's a lot to consider apart from channels: device compatibility, free trial availability, DVR capability. So, to help you decide which among the three fits your needs, we've gathered all that we could about them in the charts below.

YouTube TV, Fubo, and Hulu with Live TV are all great cable-replacement options, but which among them is the best? The most affordable of the three is YouTube TV, and it's also the service with the most attractive channels, including AMC, BBC America, NBA TV, and IFC, which the other two either don't have or offer for a fee. It also helps that it has a smooth and familiar interface even your granny can navigate. But for a few bucks more, you could have Hulu with Live TV, which aside from the usual live channels, bundles Disney+ and ESPN+ in its base package. Finally, the priciest service, Fubo, boasts the most number of channels and up to 10 simultaneous streams, making it big-household-friendly. It's also more sports-heavy than the two, uniquely offering MLB Network and NHL Network, albeit for a fee. So to answer the question, the best service will largely depend on what you're looking for. YouTube has a great selection of live channels, Hulu's on-demand library is pretty hard to match, while Fubo is great for sports fans (though you should note that it doesn't have TNT, TBS, and other Turner-owned channels). Below, we compare all three in terms of channel lineup, device compatibility, free trial availability, and more to help you decide which live TV service to get.

Of the three, Fubo is the most expensive streaming service, but is it worth the hefty price tag? Its base plan has almost 200 channels, many of which specialize in local and international sports. It also has all the beIN sports channels, which are only available on Sling and YouTube via an add-on. That said, it is missing key channels like PBS, as well as Warner Bros. channels like HBO, CNN, TBS, and oddly enough, TNT Sports. All these are available on Sling and YouTube, save for HBO, which is absent from Sling's lineup and comes at an extra fee on YouTube. But channels aside, there are other features to consider too, such as DVR storage (both YouTube and Fubo are unlimited, though the latter's doesn't expire), free trial availability (only Sling doesn't offer one), and device compatibility. To help you make a better assessment, we've compiled a comprehensive guide below that compares these three popular live TV services.

YouTube TV, Sling Orange + Blue, and Hulu with Live TV are some of the best cord-cutting options in the market right now, but whether they're for you will depend on your needs. If you're on a tight budget, then Sling Orange + Blue is probably enough to cover the basics. Sure, its local channel selection is limited (it only offers FOX, NBC, and ABC in select markets) but its add-on options are virtually endless. Via its Sports add-on, it's also the only one among the three services to carry the MLB network.
Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV, on the other hand, are as comprehensive as they can get. They offer local channels, including PBS, CBS Sports, and CW, which Sling doesn't have. But Hulu doesn't carry AMC, BBC America, and IFC (the other two do), while YouTube doesn't have A&E, Bloomberg, History, and Lifetime (again, these are found in the other two). YouTube is, however, the only one with NBA TV. But Hulu is ultimately the most expensive out of the three, probably because it also comes with Hulu's on-demand library, Disney+, and ESPN+.
Below, we compare all three of these heavy hitters in terms of channel, DVR, device, and free trial availability.

Although leaning on the pricier side, Sling Orange + Blue, DirecTV Stream, and YouTube TV are heavy-hitting options for cord-cutting. Sling Orange + Blue gives you a diverse channel lineup for a reasonable price, DirecTV Stream offers plenty of RSNs and unlimited simultaneous screens, and YouTube TV's smooth interface remains undefeated. They have their strengths, but they also have their weaknesses. Only select markets can access local channels on Sling Orange + Blue, for instance, and even then it's only FOX, NBC, and ABC that are available. Meanwhile, DirecTV Stream lacks the flexibility of YouTube TV, while YouTube TV doesn't have nearly as much 4k content as DirecTV Stream.
This is all to say that these popular live TV streaming plans are great, but the best choice will largely depend on what you're looking for. Below, we round up everything there is to know about them, including channel lineup, device compatibility, and free trial availability, to help you decide what streaming service is for you.

Sling Orange, Sling Blue, and Xfinity's Now TV are some of the most cost-effective live TV streaming plans right now, but how do they compare to one another? Well, for starters, as alluring as Now TV's package is (apart from the usual live channels, it also comes with Peacock Premium), it's exclusively available to Xfinity Internet customers. And while you can cancel Now TV anytime you want, the internet subscription requires at least a year-long contract, unless you're willing to pay more for the monthly fee. For their part, Sling Orange and Sling Blue require no contracts whatsoever, although they do cost double the amount for almost the same number of channels as Now TV (around 40). All three plans have their pros and cons, so below, we try to compare their features to help you decide which is the best fit for your viewing needs.

Despite costing way more, Vidgo actually shares similarities with the much more affordable Sling Orange and Sling Blue. Like Sling Orange, Vidgo carries Disney and ESPN channels, and like Sling Blue, it has National Geographic and NFL Network. Vidgo's main advantage—and the likely reason why it's offered at a hefty price despite faulty interface and limited DVR—is that it has a competitive lineup of sports and family-friendly channels. Vidgo has beIN Sports, MLB Network, Big Ten Network, and the Hallmark channels, all of which are only available via add-ons on Sling.
Speaking of add-ons, Sling has a lot of them, so if you don't mind customizing, then Sling's budget-friendly Orange and Blue plans might be for you. But if you like having everything in one place, then maybe Vidgo is a better fit. To help you figure out the best service for your needs, we've compiled all there is to know about these three popular live TV streaming services.
