Oxygen, water, and Netflix: The basic staples of life. The mighty red N has been the No. 1 streaming service for years for a reason—it’s consistent in quantity and quality.

At a base price of $6.99 a month, Netflix’s ad-supported plan delivers a thunderous bang for your subscription buck. Unlike the others that are still trying to catch up, Netflix pours millions into building its own on-demand universe (until it eventually cancels every show that isn’t Stranger Things).

Netflix is one of the few entertainment outlets that can say it has “something for everyone” with a straight face (or off-center smiley-square icon). Not all of Netflix’s shows and movies are great, but there’s always something new dropping tomorrow.
