Our Top-Rated Video-Streaming Services


1. 3 Body Problem (Netflix)

The producers of this show were behind the original Game of Thrones. This show may not hit those wide strides. The reviews already have people polarized, with some calling the story of alien contact (based on the famed and already adapted book from China) a solid start or even a “masterpiece,” while others call it “torturous.” 


2. Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV (Max/Fubo)

Nickelodeon TV was a juggernaut of kids programming for years. It was all sculpted by one man, who it turns out was not only fostering a toxic workplace but had hired people who actually harmed the kid stars on the shows. This staggering documentary holds nothing back to expose the problems and predators.


3. Road House (Prime Video)

The violent remake of the violent 1989 original with Patrick Swayze (also streaming on Prime Video and Max) is here, with Jake Gyllenhaal playing the ass-kicking bouncer at a bar in the Florida Keys. Expect ultraviolence as he has to take on former MMA-fighter-turned-actor Conor McGregor. 


4. Anatomy of a Fall (Hulu)

The Oscar winner for Best Original Screenplay this year went to this French legal thriller that looks at the suspicious circumstances behind a man's death by falling and his troubled relationship with his wife.


5. Poor Things (Hulu)

Poor Things hit Hulu right before the Oscars and got another boost from Emma Stone's Best Actress win. This Yorgos Lanthimos-directed film is weird on every level and worth watching for how it looks alone, which is why it also took home Oscars for Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.


6. Shōgun (Hulu)

The reviews are in on this latest adaptation of the novel of the same name by James Clavell and they are stellar, with some comparing the thrills to that of the original Game of Thrones. It's still rated 99% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The full series of 10 episodes will conclude by the end of April.


7. Oppenheimer (Peacock)

If you missed out on the in-theater Barbenheimer madness, you can now enjoy both movies from the comfort of your home (Barbie is on Max). "Enjoy" may be the wrong word for Oppenheimer, given that it's about the development of the atomic bomb, but it's cleaning up this awards season, so it's probably worth a watch if you have Peacock. (If you have Netflix and want to continue the nuke theme, Einstein and the Bomb is a docudrama movie that combines scripted elements and interviews to look back on the life of Albert Einstein.)


8. Ghostbusters: Afterlife (Fubo/FX)

If bustin’ makes you feel good, then you're probably pretty happy with this 30-plus-years-in-the-making sequel to the original Ghostbusters’ films from the 1980s. It focuses on a family far from New York City, the original stomping grounds of the team, but with close ties to one of the members (close enough to have to get into the business of saving the world). It's a nice mix of new bits and nostalgia that seems to be rolling along in the new Frozen Empire sequel now in theaters.


9. The Gentlemen (Netflix)

Nobody puts action and comedy together like Guy Ritchie. This time, his talents are stretched out over a series where a man inherits an estate, a title, and an entire weed empire that he's not quite prepared to run.


10. Palm Royale (Apple TV+)

Kristen Wiig wants into the most exclusive club in Palm Beach, and she’ll do anything to get there. Even if she doesn’t know much about rich people. Featuring Ricky Martin, Allison Janney, Leslie Bibb, and even Carol Burnett.

About Eric Griffith

Senior Editor, Features

I've been writing about computers, the internet, and technology professionally for over 30 years, more than half of that time with PCMag. I run several special projects including the Readers' Choice and Business Choice surveys, and yearly coverage of the Best ISPs and Best Gaming ISPs, plus Best Products of the Year and Best Brands. I work from my home, and did it long before pandemics made it cool.

About Chandra Steele

Senior Features Writer

My title is Senior Features Writer, which is a license to write about absolutely anything if I can connect it to technology (I can). I’ve been at PCMag since 2011 and have covered the surveillance state, vaccination cards, ghost guns, voting, ISIS, art, fashion, film, design, gender bias, and more. You might have seen me on TV talking about these topics or heard me on your commute home on the radio or a podcast. Or maybe you’ve just seen my Bernie meme

I strive to explain topics that you might come across in the news but not fully understand, such as NFTs and meme stocks. I’ve had the pleasure of talking tech with Jeff Goldblum, Ang Lee, and other celebrities who have brought a different perspective to it. I put great care into writing gift guides and am always touched by the notes I get from people who’ve used them to choose presents that have been well-received. Though I love that I get to write about the tech industry every day, it’s touched by gender, racial, and socioeconomic inequality and I try to bring these topics to light. 

Outside of PCMag, I write fiction, poetry, humor, and essays on culture.
