The bad part about streaming is that there are too many options available. Aside from paid streaming services like Netflix, there are dozens of free streaming services that have tons of premium content, and many of us inevitably end up browsing until we simply fall asleep or just turn the television off.

A trick I learned early on is to first know what genre of content you’re in the mood for, thrillers, drama, crime, reality tv, DIY etc. This tip can also help you find the right streaming service for. If you really want to narrow your results down think about an actor or actress you’re in the mood for. For example, if you’re in the mood for a drama starring Morgan Freeman just type his name in the search and browse through the selection until you find a drama.
