As seniors, this streaming thing has us somewhat baffeled. This book helped us navigate this new way of viewing our favorite shows. It contained about 50 % useful information.

  • When you start this book have a yellow highlighter handy. You’ll need it
Streaming – or rather “binge streaming” – is now the way I, and many of mu friends, spend their evenings. Not only movies, but made for streaming series, are all the rage. There are major services like HBO Max ($15.99/month) to Apple+ ($4.99/month) and many in between. If you have Comcast cable you get Peacock for free and if you are lucky enough to have your local library subscribe to Kanopy (30,000 free films) I’m jealous. (Philadelphia dropped that service – and Hoopla – because it cost them so much). Anyway there are some great series out there but also some “dreck” . And, yes, liking a series is subjective. I like Nordic mysteries but some don’t like subtitles. And I’m not a fan of sci-fi and fantasy. So where to look? This 420-page paperback is a great start. Author Aaron Barnhart has compiled over 1,000 “recommended shows” and while you may not share Barnhart’s taste, it’s a great start. I opened the book and read the introduction which describes the services. The prices are already out of date because of changing prices but they are in proportion to one another. The first 300+ pages are in Alphabetical order. Then there are curated lists as well as “if you liked this….” Recommendations. And a full index in the back. Once I got past the intro I pulled out a yellow highlighter and marked the shows or films that I had not seen already and sounded interesting. I’m STILL going through the book. From that point on I’ll sort them by content provider and then chose a provider for a month, subscribe and watch and then move to a different provider for the next month. Obviously as shows are added the book will lose some of its value but think of it as a magazine or newspaper that you read to get the NEWS. I’m glad Barnhart compiled this in “analog” form. It’s hard to “highlight” similar lists online Steve Ramm “Anything Phonographic” ... show more

  • Lots of great info
This book is a great tool for understanding the changes in the television/entertainment industry and for considering if you're about to cut the cord OR you've already cut the cord and you're figuring out how to maximize your viewing while minimizing the dollars spent. Additional great info includes a where to find section that outlines so many series/movies/etc and which service is carrying them as of now. ... show more

  • Not what I thought it would be...
2.5 stars. Not at all what I thought it would be. I thought this book would give you tips on searching the data bases of streaming services. Instead, it is a very complete list of TV shows and on which streaming services you can find them. Unfortunately, as programs regularly move on and off, and between streaming services, it would be far more easy to do a Google search. The one benefit I do see in this book is that while paging through it, you'll find names and descriptions of programs you never knew about, and reminders of shows you name and watched in the past and would like to see again. ... show more

  • Great way to find your next favorite show!
I confess that I am fascinated by, and a bit addicted to, streaming TV. I have every popular service as well as a few obscure ones like Britbox and Wondrium. However, I still find myself frequently at a loss to find a great show to watch. I hate to complain but finding the right show can be downright intimidating. The Primetimer Guide to Streaming TV can help. The Guide begins with a comprehensive and cogent description of how to cut the cable/satellite cord. Each streaming channel’s target market and price is described. Cord cutting can save a significant amount of money over the course of a year. Part II contains descriptions of over a thousand recommended films and series. In the back of the book, the shows are listed by channel so if you just have Hulu, you can find something that way without channel envy. However, the best part of Primetimer Guide to Streaming TV is saved for the end of the book. Curated lists by topic and genre are the perfect way to find shows similar to what you have already enjoyed. Just as with the old Leonard Maltin movie guides, there is an inherent issue with publishing a book with a topic as changeable as streaming channel’s movie lists. Hopefully, this book will update annually or bi-annually to keep its content current. For now, grab the excellent Primetimer Guide to Streaming TV to up your streaming game. 5 stars and a favorite! Thanks to Quindaro Press and NetGalley for a digital review copy of the book. ... show more

  • Great book, very well organized!
As a casual TV viewer who can remember when color TV was new technology, I have felt increasingly overwhelmed by the abundance of streaming services and programming out there. Which to use? What to watch? This book delivers big-time on both counts! It begins with an informative and easily readable history of streaming, a helpful guide to making the switch from cable or satellite, and a reference guide to popular streaming services, but the bulk of this 400+ page book is devoted to presenting descriptions of over a thousand recommended movies, series, and specials. I find the program descriptions to be engaging and fun to browse, but what has been most helpful to me are the many curated lists. If you can’t find something appealing to watch and where to watch it, then you aren’t trying. This book deserves 5 stars; I’d give it more if I could! ... show more

  • It is an interesting book to read and I just ordered it.
It is like a cable tv cord cutting manual.
