The last time we saw Toni Collete grace our screens in a Netflix series was when Unbelievable dropped and we all lost our collective marbles. It was great, no? So it goes without saying her next show, Pieces Of Her, is an unmissable piece of content you need in your life.

Every platform we've been through has a solid output of movies to watch. However, what the best streaming service for movies is, depends on the user. If you want the biggest library to choose from, Netflix and Amazon Prime, or maybe Disney Plus if you're looking for more kid-friendly options, are probably the easy choice. However, Binge, Stan, Apple TV Plus and Disney Plus, while having smaller libraries, have a solid output of original and fresh-from-the-cinema movies to choose from. However, if you're a big movie watcher, it's hard to ignore the value Netflix provides.
Every platform has something for kids, so don't let this stop you from picking up your favourite streaming service. Amazon might hold the biggest number of shows rated G and below, closely followed by Netflix and Disney Plus, and while they certainly have enough to keep the little ones entertained, if you're looking for a streaming service that's purely kid-friendly there's plenty to choose from. If you want a service that is entirely directed at your little one aged 7 or younger, it's hard to go past Noggin. From Peppa Pig, Blue's Clues and Dora the Explorer to the digital pre-school classroom show Noggin Knows, Noggin also provides more learning through a library of books and games. While there's still space for your favourite shows from ABC, Disney and Amazon, like Bluey and Play School, Noggin is the best streaming service for kids.
While they are two obvious and easy choices, they are such for a reason. It's hard to ignore the sheer number of titles that Netflix and Prime Video provide. While there's undoubtedly some low-quality content, you're certain to find plenty, no matter what mood you're in. If you're looking for something a bit more off the beaten path, Kanopy is an awesome streaming service. Free with a library card or through your university email address, Kanopy has a large library of lesser-known classic movies, foreign film, documentaries and more that are hard to find anywhere else.
For more hardcore Anime fans there's CrunchyRoll, which includes shows such as Attack on Titan, Death Note, FLCL, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Hunter X Hunter, One-Punch Man and several Naruto series. No matter what you choose to go with, these two streaming services deliver plenty of Anime to keep you entertained.
While Spotify and Apple Music are the Spartan-style two kings of the music streaming industry, apps like Qobuz, Youtube Music, Amazon Music and Tidal are worthy competitors that might be better suited to some individual tastes.
Qobuz and Tidal are for the audiophiles. The former is a French streaming service that combines a huge library of new and old hits with studio-quality audio streaming and an attractive mobile app. If sound quality is make or break for you, Qobuz could be your best music service. On the other hand, subscribers to Tidal HiFi can listen to music at near-CD level sound quality, with tracks mixed in more immersive formats like Dolby Atmos and Sony 360. If sound quality is your number one worry, Qobuz might be the choice, but Tidal has more hi-res listening options that appeal to larger audiences.
Even at premium tiers of the best streaming services, you usually won't find an unlimited number of devices available to be connected to the same account at any one time. Stan allows you to watch on four devices simultaneously, and download content on up to five tablets or phones, while Apple TV Plus allows for a whopping six devices to be watching content at the same time. Kayo Sports allows you to register several devices to a single account but you will be restricted to the one or two simultaneous streams your plan allows for. While Youtube TV does allow for unlimited concurrent streams, it is only available within the US.
