Best Shows to Watch on Hulu, Amazon, Disney+, CBS and More – Closer Weekly

Need to check out from the reality of the world for a little bit? TV binge-watching could be the solution youre looking for, and thanks to the various streaming services Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, Disney+, CBS All Access, Apple TV+, DC Universe and others there is definitely no shortage of shows available. And were not talking about shows that began on the broadcast networks and are being rerun, but ones that have only been available via streaming.

Whats really interesting is the way that the tide has changed in terms of the perception of quality. Time was that carefully plotted storylines and nuanced characterizations were the things that movies were made of, while television was often dismissed as popcorn entertainment and considered disposable. And while broadcasting was improving, it took cable (HBOs The Sopranosbeing a perfect example) and Netflix (starting withHouse of Cards) to start a revolution that has changed virtuallyeverything.

High quality is now found through streaming television while movies have become all about sequels, franchises and pure escapism. Streaming gives us the opportunity to really dig into character and allow stories to take a more leisurely approach in terms of unfolding. And in case you need proof, weve created a guide to some of the most exciting series available through the various services.

The beauty of it is that there area lotof genres to choose from. Want to laugh? Weve got show biz veterans likeJane Fonda,Lily Tomlin,Michael DouglasandAlan Arkin. Prefer younger laugh-getters? TheresKat Dennings,a (very) foul-mouthed Kaley CuocoandRachel Brosnahan. Maybe youd prefer something more dramatic and, if thats the case, check out shows starringAl Pacino,Jennifer Aniston(yes, we said dramatic),Anthony MackieorChristine Baranski.

Theres also plenty of opportunity for escapism, though admittedly with an edge. Weve got alternate histories (The Man in the High Castle,For All Mankind), sci-fi (The Mandalorian, Star Trek: Discovery), superheroes (The Boys), a post-apocalyptic landscape where teens struggle to survive against zombie-fied adults (Daybreak) andStephen King(11.22.63).

But those are only the start. Just pick up the remote, cozy up with your loved ones and binge away!
