What to watch on TV, by service
Two lists for each service: what people like most, and what you cannot get anywhere else. The second is usually the more useful one, because every service’s own front page is already trying to show you the first.

Included if you already pay for the service.

The same thing for films. Each service opens on the country it is most at home in; every page can be asked for another. Availability is refreshed daily, so treat it as recent rather than live.
