Not sure what streaming service suits your needs? Luckily, many of them will allow you to sample their wares gratis before paying to sign up.

Some pro tips from the TV pros: We suggest taking advantage of one free trial at a time and starting it when you have ample hours to really explore the programming (hello, staycations!). And definitely make sure to write down the date you need to cancel by to avoid the credit card you’ll need to enter from being charged if you decide to opt out.

What to Watch The streamer is home to all things Star Trek, from the mothership to the current Discovery, Picard, and Strange New Worlds, so you can do a deep (space) dive. The creepy Evil and worthy Good Wife–follow-up The Good Fight are essential. SEAL Team fans can see the most recent season, while Yellowstone lovers can prospect prequel 1883. Plus, catch up on CBS shows, and, if you can wait, time the trial to the start of the SEC and NFL football seasons.
