There are so many streaming options that I am signed up for, I assume Tubi is another option but I have never heard of it.

It's an app on Roku or smart tv's. It's free as long as you sit through the ads.

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

you don't have to sign up for Tubi or freevee or fawesome.

 

[UncleZen]

Or maybe it's what you put in your pants to make your junk look bigger.

 

[Eephus]

I go wherever the content is but when there's a choice, I'll pick Tubi over the other free with ads sites.

I don't have any data but I think Tubi shows slightly fewer ads than Pluto or Plex. Tubi is also a little better about where it places the ads. I've had Plex throw an ad break right in the middle of a song. I haven't watched enough of Roku or the rebranded Amazon Freevee to say how they compare.

They're not ideal but the commercials aren't a deal breaker for me. My body clock is synced to those 2:30 breaks. I can unload the dishwasher during two of them.

I haven't looked through their TV offerings, but I have always been surprised at how many movies I've found on there. I think the FFA's demographic will find a lot of fun 70s and 80s movies on there. A ton of horror movies for October too.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Tubi always has something to watch. Tons and tons of it. Great for random grazing.

 

[FarFromHome]

Just glanced at Tubi catalog. Got a decent amount of stuff to watch. Spartacus. Mr. Robot. Handful of movies. It's free. Thanks for bringing this to me. Never even heard of it.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

Never even heard of it.

 

[waiver wire]

I use Tubo a lot
when I am sick of searching for something on Netflix or prime, I just go to the leaving soon category and select the 1st or 2nd movie that catches my interest that have never seen before
Watching some stupid Nic Cage movie right now on it , Jiu Jitsu

If you have Verizon, you have some discount options that we thought was a pretty good deal. We get Netflix, Max, Hulu, Disney and espn plus for $20 per month.

Verizon has several different packages that you can add on for $10/month - YouTube Premium and Apple music in addition to Netflix/Max and Hulu/Disney/ESPN+ bundles.

I’m petitioning Max to bring this HBO opening back. Forever the gold standard.

Just an FYI. Spectrum comes with Paramount and Max streaming for free.

One of our lines still has an old plan that just threw in the Disney/Hulu/ESPN bundle for free. The plan is no longer offered, so when we swap out that phone we'll lose it.

Freevee another one. Just watched there a compilation of old car ads from the 50's and 60's that was nicely edited.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Just remembered another show that would likely have made my list - Continuum

Justwatch notes it for free on several streaming platforms (Roku TV, CW, Pluto, Plex, Prime)

 

[Instinctive]

Finished The Shield. Holy hell the finale.

Breaking Bad folks (Gilligan et al) must have taken some serious inspiration for the entire arc from the Shield. Lots of very similar vibes throughout.

Would be moved into my top 10 now.

49 - The Leftovers​

Drama
Score: 548

A Lost that stuck the landing. Damon Lindelof learned from his mistakes and gave us one of the most compelling and fascinating TV shows ever made. The first season was great despite too much focus on the cult whose members don’t speak (which doesn’t make for the most riveting television), and the second and third, mostly freed from relying on them, are some of the greatest seasons I’ve ever seen of any show.

I just started watching based on the ranking here. I am about 6 or 7 episodes in. It's captivating at times mostly because you want to know what the hell is going on. Why people are doing certain things and what it means. I can see where the cult aspect drags on and I am glad to hear that it gets better with less centered around them although I do want to know what the hell is going on with them.

 

[Chaos34]

Using this thread to recommend Dark City: The Cleaner on Prime. I was just looking for something late yesterday, and gave it a shot. Can't stop watching. It goes into the mind of a serial killer who is a janitor at the police station. Little bit of a Dexter thing but much different. It doesn't take itself too seriously. The episodes fly by at 45 minutes. The end of episode 1 set the hook.

Just finished The Leftovers. It was ok. I wouldn't go so far as to say great. I am not sure if it would make my top 70 but probably pretty close. I am not sure I agree that the ending was "stuck". It seemed to go all over the place at times and I didn't really think much was tied up. Still not sure if Kevin was crazy or the second coming. It could go either way. Nora was by far my favorite character because of her attitude and approach.

I am not a big symbolism guy so I probably missed a ton of that throughout the show so maybe that is why it was just solid instead of great. The story was compelling and I wanted to see what/why things happened but I was left wanting in the end. It didn't really tie up much for me other than

Spoiler: departed spoiler

apparently there was a second dimension where the departed went to and continued their parallel life in a much less crowded world. Overall it was worth a watch but it wasn't that great for me.

 

[Chaos34]

I ranked Line of Duty 32nd. That was too low. I watched it some 10 years ago. I was in a British cop show phase. I ranked 6 of them, this one highest. I've recommended a few times irl, My BiL called it one of the best cop shows he's ever watched. Said he rarely binges shows cuz my sis is always following several at a time, but he watched this one through 6 seasons in a week. Yesterday I was again looking for something and decided to give a re-watch a try. If you're into gritty cop stories this is top notch. Better than I thought when ranking. I'd compare it to something like The Shield, but it's different in too many ways. I think it's better which is saying something for me. Great writing and acting and... well, I just leave it at that. I paused a horrific and completely unexpected scene to let you know.

 

[waiver wire]

This list finally got me motivated to watch Deadwood.
The abrupt cancellation/ending of season 3 ruined my overall liking of the series. There were some great characters

Succession was never on my radar so again the list got me to start this. only a couple of episodes in, my god the characters are horrible people

Spoiler: Apparently?

Was there? Or was the character that was obsessive about liars for the duration of the show, even just a few scenes earlier telling a lie?

For symbolism - It ends with Nora taking on the burdens of the sins hung on the scape goat who eats up the love [notes] until it frees itself when the "love birds" finally returns.

Let the mystery be.

Don't worry they turn it around and totally redeem themselves. It really leaves you feeling good about the people behind our media empires pulling the levers inside our brains.

The Leftovers was awesome. A perfect three seasons (3rd season being the best) and never gets stale. Top 10 series for me.
