There are so many TV channels, streaming services and platforms out there now that it can be extremely hard to know where to go to watch the best TV shows. With so many choices, subscriptions and prices, we explain how and where to watch the best TV series including Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and Westworld.
Long gone are the days of popping down the high street to choose a DVD to rent, then forget to return. Whether it’s via your smart TV, games console, tablet, media streamer or other gadget, there is more content at your fingertips than you could possibly even consume. We browse the online streaming and rental services so you don’t have to so you can find out where to watch the best TV shows online.
What subscription do I need?
If you’re going to buy or rent a film or TV series it’s worth browsing all the services to find the cheapest price. Also bear in mind what device you want to watch on as services will only support a limit amount and whether you can do things like download the content for offline viewing.
We’ve stuck with how to watch these shows in the UK, and some of them are exclusively available in the UK on some services. If you want to access them from outside of the UK you could use a VPN like TotalVPN to change your virtual location. Find out more about VPNs and which are best in our best VPNs round-up .
