    You must have seen many discussion panels about streaming platforms like Hulu, Netflix, Disney Plus, or HBO Max. This was all because of the entertainment world that underwent a huge revolution when Netflix became the go-to destination for movie enthusiasts. The public found online streaming easier than waiting in lines in stores to rent movies. Now streaming movies online is easier and more convenient; you can also watch them on the go. People didn’t have to go to a store to rent or purchase movies, nor did they have to wait for the movie to be played at the local cinema to watch it. With streaming services, people could enjoy solo movies in the comfort of their homes. Platforms like 123movies provide a convenient way to explore a vast selection of movies and shows without hassle.

    Except for some streaming sites that are restricted to be played only in certain places of the Earth, you can basically watch whatever you want, wherever you want. An example of this is Netflix, which is available in almost all countries; on the other hand, there’s Hulu which is only available in the US and its territories. So, for instance, if you want Hulu in Ireland, you’re going to have to get a VPN to do so.

    This article covers some of the streaming platforms you can turn to if you want to experience movie magic. So, keep reading to learn more.

    The Streaming Revolution

    Ever since streaming services started, the way to consume entertainment for most people has changed. People didn’t have to go to a store to rent or purchase movies, nor did they have to wait for the movie to be played at the local cinema to watch it. With streaming services, people could enjoy solo movies in the comfort of their homes. This method of watching movies challenged the traditional distribution models of entertainment while empowering audiences with unusual authority over their watching session.

    There are countless gifts that streaming services have provided us with. People prefer streaming platforms majorly because there’s a huge convenience in them. The viewers are no longer bound by time slots and can stream their preferred shows and movies on demand. They can pause, rewind, fast-forward, and download whatever they want to watch on the go.

    Major Streaming Platforms

    There are many streaming platforms, and we’re going to start with the major services that sit at the top of the chart.

    Netflix

    Netflix emerged as the streaming industry leader with unique features and convenient uses. It became the pioneer of online streaming, offering a vast selection of content libraries. You can find anything from trending TV shows to award-winning blockbusters, documentaries, stand-up comedies, and even exclusive interviews.

    Hulu

    On the other hand, Hulu is an emerging giant in the streaming world. With its focus on TV shows, Hulu is a popular service, majorly operated by people who want to stay updated with their favorite series. You can watch anything you want on Hulu, except for the fact that you’d need a VPN to access the platform outside the USA because of geo-restrictions.

    Amazon

    Then we have Amazon Prime Video, another streaming giant that is a component of the broader Amazon Prime membership. There’s a wide selection of movies, documentaries, and TV shows, both for rent and on demand. Additionally, it provides unique content and original productions, such as the much-praised TV shows “The Boys” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”

    Disney Plus

    Disney Plus and its unrivaled library of family-friendly material, which includes works from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic, has quickly garnered popularity. It has become a preferred resource for followers of this cherished content.

    Niche and Specialized Platforms

    Many niche platforms specialize in certain appeals. The big ones obviously steal the spotlight, but many streaming enthusiasts utilize these platforms to suit their unique palettes.

    Criterion Channel

    Cinephiles will find a treasure trove of classic and independent films on the Criterion Channel. Criterion Channel offers a distinctive cinematic experience with special features, bonus material, and partnerships with well-known directors.

    Shudder

    Shudder is for horror fans. It’s a specialized platform that caters to people’s chilling cravings. You can find a huge collection of everything horror and thriller, including exclusive releases and original content.

    Mubi

    Mubi adopts an organized approach and presents a hand-picked collection of highly regarded movies. Mubi provides audiences with a wide variety of world movies and undiscovered gems through a changing library and curated themes.

    Live TV Streaming Services

    Live TV streaming services are for those who want to achieve the same experience of watching TV but with the convenience of streaming. Several streaming platforms offering live TV options, such as Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV, etc., provide an extensive lineup of channels. You can achieve multi-screen viewing options, cloud DVR options, and on-demand content to watch live sports, news, and anything you want peacefully.

    Conclusion
