Streaming Deals FAQs
What is the best streaming service?
If you're looking for a rundown of the best, check out our guide to the best streaming services. Otherwise, it really all depends on what you're looking for. Disney Plus is the best for Sci-Fi as it offers both the Star Wars and Marvel universes and it's consistently producing new content within those franchises. Outside of America, Hulu is also integrated, meaning the Alien and Predator franchises are available to stream, too.
If it's brand new Sci-Fi you're looking for, Apple TV is hard to beat. Shows like Severance, Pluribus, Murderbot, Silo and more have proven to be hits and have all been released in the last couple of years.
If you're looking for more than just streaming, then Amazon Prime is probably your best option. Yes, it's more expensive, but you get access to Amazon's other streaming channels, not just Prime Video, and you get fast shipping with online orders included.
When is the best time to get a streaming deal?
There's never any guarantee of streaming deals, and sometimes we see pretty sizable ones pop up throughout the year. But, an annual sales event like Black Friday or public holidays can throw up a streaming deal worth getting. Of course, it's all at the discretion of the streaming service providers.

What streaming service is Fallout on?
You can watch Fallout on Amazon Prime Video, with season two available to watch now.
Which streaming services release seasons all at once?
Out of all the streaming services, Netflix is most likely to release shows all in one go. However, even they drip-feed some of their shows; Stranger Things for example. Disney Plus also frequently releases one episode a week, as with Alien: Earth.
Some streaming services will start a new season with a double or even a triple episode. But there's no major streaming service that always releases a whole season at once.
Your best option, if you're looking to binge a show, is to wait till the last episode arrives, though that does also mean avoiding spoilers.
Which devices can I stream on?
This will vary between streaming services, but most services will let you stream on mobile devices, PCs, consoles and so on. Some, like Amazon's Prime Video app, let you download shows to your device so you don't have to worry about a slow connection.
