Okay, let's talk about *Under the Banner of Heaven*. Great show, right? But where did you watch it? Was it some kind of heaven-sent mystery?
So, Where's This Show Streaming?
You probably already know the answer. But let's pretend you don't. Let's build the suspense!
Think back. Did you need a special decoder ring? A secret handshake with your TV remote? Or maybe... just maybe... a specific streaming service?
The answer, my friends, is Hulu. Yes, the home of shows like *The Handmaid's Tale* and countless other gems.
Hulu, Hulu, Hulu!
It seems like everything good ends up on Hulu. It's like they have a monopoly on captivating dramas. Is that just me?
Don't get me wrong, I love Hulu. But sometimes I wish these fantastic shows were a little more... democratized. Spread the love, you know?
Maybe that's just my unpopular opinion showing. Probably.
The Streaming Wars: A Personal Grievance
We're living in the age of streaming wars. Everyone's fighting for your eyeballs. And your subscription money, of course.
This means you need approximately 75 different subscriptions to watch all the shows you want. Isn't that ridiculous?
Under the Banner of Heaven is stuck firmly in Hulu's camp. So, you need yet another service. Sigh.
I just wish there was a "TV Buffet" where you could pay one price and watch everything. A girl can dream, right?
Why Hulu, Though?
Let's ponder why Hulu snagged *Under the Banner of Heaven*. Any theories?
Maybe they just have really good taste. Or a lot of money. Or both.
Perhaps it's a strategic move to corner the market on "gripping true crime dramas." Hulu seems to be doing a pretty good job at that!
Honestly, I'm not complaining too much. The show is excellent. But my bank account weeps.
An Unpopular Opinion (Prepare Yourself)
Okay, here's where I might lose some of you. Brace yourselves.
Sometimes, I feel like exclusive streaming deals are a little... elitist.
It's like saying, "Only *these* people get to watch *this* show." A bit snobby, no?
Don't get me wrong, I understand the business model. But a part of me misses the days of appointment television. When everyone was watching the same show at the same time.
Am I the only one who feels this way? Probably. But I had to say it.
The Bottom Line (and a Plea to Streaming Services)
So, if you want to watch *Under the Banner of Heaven*, head over to Hulu. It's a great show. You won't regret it.
Just remember to factor that extra subscription into your budget. Ouch.
And to the streaming services: Please, consider a "TV Buffet" option. My wallet (and my sanity) will thank you.
Until then, I'll be over here, juggling subscriptions and trying not to go broke. Happy watching!
And remember, my unpopular opinions are just that: opinions. Feel free to disagree. But be nice about it!
