The average person spends $50 a month on streaming services — here's what I'd get for that money
Subscribing to the best streaming services can get expensive. In fact, it's expensive enough that I've even put together a list of how to save money on streaming services by bundling them with food delivery services. But when a recent survey by Solitaired found that the average person in the U.S. spends $50.15 a month on just video and TV subscriptions, it got me thinking — can you put together a great lineup of streaming services for just $50 a month? More importantly, what is the best lineup of streaming services you can put together on a $50 monthly budget? I did some digging, and I've come up with a list of seven streaming services that you can get for just $50 a month. This lineup gives you plenty to watch, with a great balance of new shows and movies, original content, live sports and deep libraries of classics. I had to make some painful cuts, but ultimately, I decided that this list of seven was the perfect list. So without further ado, here are the streaming services I'd get on a $50 a month budget. First, let's make sure we get the best bundle in streaming. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. No, I'm not talking about the Disney Bundle — I'm talking about the Disney Plus, Hulu and Max bundle. Max (soon to be HBO Max) is currently our top streaming service, thanks to its combination of HBO shows, Warner Bros. Discovery content and live sports. With this bundle, you also get everything Disney has to offer, thanks to the inclusion of Disney Plus and Hulu. Yes, you have to suffer through ads. And you lose the B/R live sports add-on that comes with the Standard Max plan. But in terms of value, this bundle can't be beat. This is the best streaming bundle out there. For $17 a month, you get HBO shows like "The Wire" and "The Last of Us," Hulu shows like "The Bear" and "Only Murders in the Building," as well as everything Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars. You also get a deep library of movies and shows across all three services that can't be beat. That's three streaming services out of the way, for the same price you'd normally pay for just the ad-free version of Max. The reason you can save all that money? Ads. As you'll see, every single one of these plans are ad-supported. Yes, ads suck, but they're pervasive to the point where suffering through them is just a part of life and streaming the latest hit shows and movies. Besides, the prices for the ad-free plans are now exorbitant because the streaming services want to be profitable. Ads allow them to make a profit, so if you opt out of ads, they have to jack up the price to maintain their profit margins. Netflix is no exception, so I'm opting for the Standard with ads plan at $8 a month. The good news here is you still get all the Netflix original shows and movies through this plan, as well as Netflix live events. You do miss out on some of Netflix's library of licensed shows and movies, but with seven streaming services full of content to watch, you'll hardly miss it. Netflix is the most popular streaming service for a reason. There are always new movies and shows to watch, including some of the most popular shows ever made like "Squid Game" and "Stranger Things." Even with ads, it's a must-have streaming service. Okay, so now we have the best streaming service (Max) and the most popular streaming service (Netflix). We also have the streaming service with all the Marvel and Star Wars you could ask for (Disney Plus) and the streaming service that's filled with Emmy-nominated shows (Hulu). So now, let's add a trio of streaming services with live sports — including NFL games — and deep content library, but not as many hit originals as Netflix and Max. First up? Paramount Plus Essential for $8 a month. This tier gives you tons of Paramount shows and movies, including hit originals like "Landman" and "MobLand." It also gives you the NFL on CBS and UEFA Champions League livestreams. You even get select Showtime shows, though those are mostly reserved for Paramount Plus Premium. Paramount Plus Essential is the ad-supported version of Paramount Plus. Yes, it has ads, but it also has most of Paramount's wide variety of movies and TV shows. You also get live sports, including the NFL on CBS and UEFA Champions League. Get a 1-week free trial today! Next up? Peacock Premium. Peacock Premium and Paramount Plus Essential are nearly identical services, just for different media conglomerates. They both even cost $7.99 a month. The only notable differences are Peacock calls its entry level plan "Premium" and pools together all of Comcast's content (NBC, Universal, Bravo, etc.) instead of Paramount's content. But since you're getting both, you don't really need to worry about those differences. Peacock Premium gives you tens of thousands of hours of original and licensed content, including new NBC and Bravo shows, as well as wide variety of live sports, including the English Premier League. Peacock may not be the most popular streaming service, but it gives you a lot for just $8 a month. "The Office," "The Traitors" and "Poker Face" are all must-watch shows and NBCUniversal has a deep library of incredible movies. Add in live sports from the NFL, NBA (starting 2025-26 season) and the English Premier League, and it's a no-brainer to add Peacock to your streaming lineup. Finally, for just $9 a month, you can add Prime Video. Again, this service is pretty similar to Paramount Plus and Peacock. It's got tons of original shows and movies from Amazon MGM Studios, like "Fallout" and "The Boys," and has plenty of live sports. It's even adding the NBA for the 2025-2026 season (as is Peacock). Now, the one caveat here is that Prime Video is included for free in Amazon Prime. So if you already have Prime, you don't need to pay for Prime Video. If that's the case, take the $9 you just freed up in your monthly budget and add AMC Plus for $7 a month, which comes with the incredible horror streaming service Shudder. Or, spend just a little extra and get Apple TV Plus, which at $10 a month will put you just a dollar over budget. For "Slow Horses" season 5, that's arguably a dollar well spent. But for this exercise, I'm going to assume you don't have Amazon Prime, just like I'm assuming you don't get Peacock for free via your Xfinity internet subscription or one of the above streaming services for free from your cell phone provider. I know these deals exist, and you should definitely take advantage of them if you can, but I want to just put together the best roster of streaming services you can buy for $50. If you already have Prime Video through Amazon Prime, then you know why it's a service worth having. Shows like "Fallout" and "The Boys" are some of the best shows of the past decade and Prime Video also brings a deep library of movies, both from MGM Studios and other licensed a 30-day free trial today If you sign up for all seven of these, you'll hit $50 exactly. You'll also get all the following content (and more): That's an incredible amount of content available to you to watch. You'll never make it through all of it in a given month, and you won't miss out on many of the best shows and movies to come out in a given month either. Arguably, you don't even need a live TV streaming service (or cable) if you subscribe to all seven of these. Despite that streaming services are just getting more and more expensive, I was pretty impressed by how much $50 will still get you. Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:

Disney laid off staff as it rebalances product, tech resources
Disney laid off workers for the second time this month, this time in product and technology. The layoffs, under Adam Smith, affected under 2% of the group. Disney is still hiring in product and technology despite the head count reductions. Disney has laid off workers for the second time this month, this time in product and technology. This one fell under Adam Smith, product and technology chief over Disney's entertainment and sports media businesses, and amounted to under 2% of the group, according to a person with direct knowledge. The layoffs were geared toward rebalancing resources, and the company continues to hire in product and technology, the person said. Smith, who joined last year from YouTube, is tasked with boosting technologies for Disney+ and Hulu and also developing the upcoming ESPN flagship streaming product that is set to come out this year. Earlier this month, the entertainment giant let go of several hundred people, the latest in a series of head count reductions in recent years. That cut mainly affected people in TV and film marketing and was related to the industrywide decline in linear TV viewership. Disney has made several head count reductions in recent years as the TV audiences migrate to streaming platforms, where profits have been slow to follow. CEO Bob Iger laid the groundwork for broad cuts when he returned in late 2022 for his second tour as chief executive, saying in 2023 that he would cut 7,000 jobs. Have a tip?

10 TV lesbian and sapphic storylines overshadowed on their own shows
Netflix; Fox Freema Agyeman as Amanita Caplan and Jamie Clayton as Nomi Marks on Sense8; Aisha Hinds as Hen Wilson and Tracie Nicole Thoms as Karen Wilson on 9-1-1. TV audiences love a good ship! Gay and queer relationships are often one of the fandom's favorite parts of a TV show. Whether the couple is canon or not, fans have a lot of fun with fan fiction, fan art, and other ways to express their love. Unfortunately, lesbian and sapphic couples often get pushed to the side by the fandom in favor of male/male ships — sometimes even male/male ships that aren't even canon. There are other times when sapphic ships don't receive enough attention because a show is too packed with other exciting things happening. Here are some of our fan-favorite (but often underappreciated) lesbian and sapphic ships from television. Fox Brittany and Santana on Glee. While Santana and Brittany got plenty of love on Glee, there's no doubt that they were overshadowed on the show by another popular gay couple - Kurt and Blaine. One of the most blatant examples comes in the episode where Santana and Brittany are getting married. The two young women have planned and organized their dream wedding, and then, at the last minute, they decide to invite Kurt and Blaine to get married alongside them, making their special day about another couple. Streaming on Hulu Fox Hen and Karen Wilson on 9-1-1. If you were to ask most people what the most popular same-sex relationship on 9-1-1 is, you'd most likely hear the answer, Buck and Eddie. While Buck did eventually come out as bisexual on the show, he and Eddie are still just friends. The show does, however, have a long-running lesbian couple in Henrietta "Hen" Wilson (Aisha Hinds) and her wife, Karen (Tracie Thoms). Hen and Karen have been together since season 1, and now, they are married and have two children. Streaming on Hulu Fabio Lovino/HBO Mia and Valentina on The White Lotus season 2. Valentina (Sabrina Impacciatore) was the secret MVP of The White Lotus season 2. While people were being distracted by a family of American womanizers, murderous gays, and a pseudo-uncle-cousin sexual relationship, this lesbian hotel manager had the best storyline of the whole season. At first, Valentina has an unrequited crush on her subordinate, Isabella. When that doesn't work out, she's heartbroken. That's when sex worker Mia (Beatrice Grannò) approaches her, and Valentina reveals she had never been with a woman before. Mia takes Valentina up to one of the hotel's empty rooms, and her life is forever changed. Streaming on HBO Max Netflix Amanita and Nomi at Pride on Sense8. We understand why Lito and Miguel are such a popular ship on this sci-fi show from The Wachowskis, but we also want to share our love for Nomi and Amanita! Not only are they an adorable, sexy, and loving lesbian couple, but they are also one of the few good examples of a lesbian relationship involving a trans woman on TV. Streaming on Netflix Bonnie Osborne/ABC Annalise Keating and Tegan Price in a courtroom on How to Get Away with Murder. How to Get Away with Murder had plenty of sexy relationships and hookups, and one fan-favorite is the relationship between Connor Walsh (Jack Falahee) and Oliver Hampton (Conrad Ricamora). One of our favorite couples from the show is Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) and Tegan Pride (Amirah Vann), who joined the show in season 4 and became a regular in season 5. Unfortunately, their relationship didn't get as much screen time as we would have liked! Streaming on Hulu Netflix Lily Iglehart and Ola Nyman on Sex Education. There's a lot of sex and relationships going on in Sex Education. One of the favorites is the relationship between Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) and Adam (Connor Swindells), an openly gay student and his former bully. We also want to give a shout out to another favorite, though often overlooked, relationship: Ola and Lily! Lily is a strange student who is obsessed with aliens and becomes Ola's chaperone when Ola joins their school in season 2 of the show. Later, Ola has a dream where she kisses Lily, making her realize she is pansexual. Soon, the two start dating, though their relationship isn't without its ups and downs. Streaming on Netflix Paramount+ Dr Tara Lewis and Rebecca Wilson on Criminal Minds Evolution. When Criminal Minds was revived in 2022, it was renamed Criminal Minds: Evolution. The show has over 350 episodes in its 18 seasons, so there are plenty of relationships to love. One of our favorites is the relationship between pansexual forensic psychologist Dr. Tara Lewis (Aisha Tyler) and prosecutor Rebecca Wilson (Nicole Pacent). The two characters appear on Criminal Minds: Evolution, and are one of our current favorite parts of the show. Streaming on Paramount+ FX The Countess and Ramona Royale on American Horror Story: Hotel. Of course, each season of American Horror Story is full of wild terrors and steamy sex. Still, we want to give some special attention to Ramona and The Countess Elizabeth, played by two legends: Angela Bassett and Lady Gaga. In the 1970s, Ramona was a blaxploitation film star before meeting Elizabeth. When they met, they started a decade-long relationship, and the Countess turned Ramona into one of her vampires. Unfortunately, so much was going on in this season that their love story got overshadowed. Streaming on Hulu Ryan Green/Paramount+ Cruz and Josie on Lioness. You might think Lioness is all about action and thrills, but one of the best parts of the show is queer character Gunnery Sergeant Cruz Manuelos (Laysla De Oliveira), who works with the Lioness program. In season 2, she's recruited to shadow Josephina "Josie" Carrillo, a US Army Apache pilot with a family connection to a Mexican cartel. What starts as a job soon turns into love for the two. Streaming on Reiner Bajo/Disney Tina and Wolfie on Nine Perfect Strangers. This twisty and dark drama about a wellness retreat led by Masha Dmitrichenko (Nicole Kidman) has a great queer couple in season 2 that you might not know about! Wolfie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) and Tina (King Princess) are a pair of girlfriends who visit the wellness retreat in the second season. Nine Perfect Strangers has a large cast of talented actors, but this is one relationship viewers should key in on.
