If being able to distinguish between a browser and an app feels like a struggle due to your daily reliance on a multitasking computer, then concentrating on choosing the best screening service can also feel like searching for a needle in a digital haystack. Predatory giants such as Netflix – with its ever-increasing library of original content such as Stranger Things and The Witcher – as well as Hollywood blockbusters longing to be binged, such as The Irishman, seems to make quality programming insatiable. Still, as the tide of streaming companies segments and changes prices, it guides us all away from free streaming and towards a more strategic approach to watching TV online. Amazon and other companies are throwing us life rafts in the shaky sea of subscriptions.
And as the world of streaming is increasingly dominated by Netflix’s own content, Netflix’s switch away from free trials comes at once as a curiosity and a concern. Netflix has largely cut down on free trials, as featured on its help centre: ‘Netflix no longer offers a free trial.’ Yet there remains a trickle of hope for anyone wishing to get Netflix, but not pay for Netflix.
And while the bypass path might be blocked, there are back alleys and secret passages. The clearest glimpse of a Netflix bypass might be a phone service such as T-Mobile’s ‘Netflix on Us’, which offers a Netflix subscription included at no cost with certain Go5G plans. Verizon and Comcast – two of the four biggest US providers offering phone services and internet TV (the other two are ATT and Spectrum) – offer Netflix subscription bundles, but none are totally free. But at least they’re there.
And yet, despite Netflix’s unwavering stance on this policy, the streaming universe is definitely a free trial one, a multiverse even, with many platforms flying the banner of ‘seven days free’, ‘one month free’, ‘try it for six weeks for free’, ‘get it for a whole year for free if you’ll just sign up now’.
It’s Amazon Prime that stands as the big rival, with its wealth of Emmy-winning, original content and its 30-day free trial, not to mention free shipping on Amazon orders to members and other perks.
Hulu draws watchers into a wide world of television from classic programming to today’s beloved TV hits and series. With a 30-day free trial, Hulu offers a wide world of length and breadth, with premium add-ons and Live TV options tailored to fill every hole and minute on your itinerary.
Finding the right streaming service is an odyssey – a long and arduous journey. Not all odysseys are easy and not every sea is calm. As with Odysseus in Homer’s famous poem, each part of this journey was fraught with choices and opportunities. To see it as a single event would be a grave mistake. Each service is a sea in itself, filled with treasure – and peril. Each has its own monstrous sirens to lure you from your course, and each holds its own animals to guide the way – though perhaps not always to your chosen destination. Each service has its temptations and its benefits. To find the perfect streaming service is to devote attention to each sea, no matter how large or small, and know what lies beyond the giants of Netflix.
