Amazon and Netflix and Sling, Oh My!
We are in quarantine and for us cord-cutters, our streaming services have not disappointed us. There is a wealth of content at our fingertips (literally) to sit back and enjoy. The “Silver Screen” was created as a way to escape our reality, if only just for a few hours, into another world. Now, the options are endless and in these uncertain times, sometimes those escapes can feel incredibly therapeutic. Even Andrew Lloyd Webber is offering to stream his musicals on YouTube! Here are some options for all types of viewers, those with kids to those who wouldn’t mind a little more mature content. (Make sure to check ratings for family friendly content) *As you can tell, the author of this blog post has an affinity towards music. Music is good medicine!
