In the last decade, streaming services have profoundly changed the way we watch. And while they’ve been around for some time, the launch of original shows and movies—starting with Netflix’s House of Cards—forever altered what primetime TV meant and how many Canadians get their TV fix or host movie night. Since then, streaming has steadily eroded cable and satellite TV, making it Canadians’ top choice for entertainment.
Wondering what’s so good about streaming? From massive libraries of the all-time best TV shows and movies, to original content and the choice to watch what you want, when you want, without breaks and disruptions, streaming is clearly one of the new, best ways to watch.
