My wife and I decided to give it a go. After 2 episodes I told her, "it's all yours Hon. I just can't."
we work opposite schedules so we both have our own shows we watch and some we prefer to watch together.
But yea, Handmaids Tale. I just couldn't do it. And not to take way from thw writing, production etc. Just too fucking depressing for me.

As for streaming services for the others, we have netflix, hulu, prime and just added on HBO Now.

We like Hulu for the live tv choices, but they really need to up their streaming game. It does(for us anyway) tend to freeze, usually when a show is going into commercial, and you have to hit return or something and kick it in the ass so to speak.
Besides that, we get live sports including NHL, Formula 1, Gold, Basketball, football, NCAA sports. And they do have a decent library of old and new series.

And since adding HBO, fuggedaboutit...John Oliver, Bill Mahar, Veep, Silicon Valley, Westworld etc and tons of movies
