What is the best 'streaming' platform to give away this Christmas or Kings?

Christmas is approaching and we are already choosing the gifts that we will ask Santa Claus or the Three Wise Men … and those that we will distribute among our relatives. A practical option could be to give away access to a ‘streaming’ platform With which you ensure hours and hours of entertainment, not only thanks to the wide range of series they have in their catalog, but also because of their extensive assortment of films, documentaries and, lately, even contests and ‘reality shows’. But among so many options, which one to choose? Which one is closest to the taste and interests of our recipient and, incidentally, best fits our pocket? Here we review the price and supply of some of the most important.

Netflix

The great asset of Netflix is its overflowing catalog, with a huge number of premieres per month and with series that have become authentic world phenomena such as ‘The paper house’, ‘The squid game’, ‘Stranger things’, ‘The crown’, ‘Elite’… The list of titles is overwhelming, and we can also find movies that have been in theaters and others shot expressly for Netflix, such as the recent ‘Red Alert’.
