With the right channels I regularly discover amazing movies, series and documentaries that I’d probably never choose to watch if I had access to them on a streaming platform (which I don’t).

The surprise effect is way better and I just think that when used wisely, TV can deliver much more than streaming.

I’m aware of platforms like FilmIn that offer non-commercial content but I still like the channels to suggest me some tmovies to watch.

    I find myself flipping on PlutoTV a lot for just this reason. It’s cozy to just channel surf, and their lineup (e.g. 24/7 Price is Right, Jeopardy, MST3K, and tons of other classics) makes it feel doubly cozy. Like a portal straight back to 90s cable, but free.
