Netflix is the leader in streaming subscription services. As well as full seasons of shows such as Mad Men and The Walking Dead. It also has a growing range of original content such as the House of Cards and Orange is the new Black. Once signed up you are offered literally thousands of movies and TV seasons. The only problem is you have to watch what they have available and their content is not the newest. The system works well though and you can add titles to your queue for later viewing, and Netflix will also make recommendations and suggestions based on your viewing habits.
