My opinion on the ones listed. I voted for Max as a personal pick as it has several of my all time favorite shows.

Amazon prime video - Has some pretty good shows, but also a lot of average stuff at best. Movie selection is decent. With the extra perks for shopping this is a pretty good deal, but they recently added adds which lowers the value.

Disney plus/hulu - Bundle with Hulu this is a good deal. Disney plus is good if you have kids or like a lot of Disney movies/shows. The Marvel and Star Wars shows are my biggest appeal as I have no kids, but they have been a little hit or miss. Hulu has all the FX content which I find most of it is top notch (watch The Americans, Devs and Reservation Dogs people). I think this is one of the better ones when bundled. Hulu has some good movies, but the pickings overall are pretty slim.

Peacock - I recently got this on a deal for $20 for a year. They have the Office and Parks and Rec which are great sitcoms, so that adds a lot of value. As far as original content, I think they are lacking compared to others. I am currently enjoying Mr Mercedes, but I haven't found a lot else to watch that I am really interested in.

Paramount plus - I have only had this briefly on free trials. I know they have Star Trek shows but this one doesn't have much that appeals to me. I think if you bundle it with Showtime it could have some value. Showtime has some good shows like early Dexter, Penny Dreadful, Nurse Jackie, Weeds, Ray Donavon and Californication. So definitely some value here.

Apple TV plus - This probably used to be the best deal before they raised the price, but is still a good deal. Most of there shows are of high quality. Some of my favorites are Severance and Silo. This one is worth getting for a few months at a time. The movie selection is fairly lacking though.

Max - HBO was the king of quality for a long time. They still put out high quality shows, but there are some concerns with more recent moves like taking some shows off the service and a push of the discovery content. Overall though I think this is one of the best out there, especially if you haven't seen many of the HBO shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, Game of Thrones, Watchmen, The Leftovers, Rome, or Succession. They also have a pretty good movie selection.

Tubi - I have never used this, so no comment. I don't like ads.

Pluto tv - I have never used this, so no comment. I don't like ads.

Crunchyroll - If you like anime a lot this is probably worth it.

Netflix - The king of streaming. They seem to prefer quantity over quality, but they still do have a lot of very good shows. Some concern with any show you are watching may get canceled before it is finished. That is probably true with all others as well, but seems more common with Netflix. Netflix original movies are usually just okay, rarely being great, but often not being bad either. They cycle in a lot of good movies though as well.

One not mentioned is AMC. I think they have some pretty good high qualtiy shows they could merit a subscription occasionally. You also get Shudder, which is cool if you like horror, but a lot of it is of the B variety.
