STREAMING SERVICE OF THE YEAR
We could sit here and say Covid kept us indoors for most of 2020… and it’d be true, but streaming services were equally to blame for record levels of antisocial living. Big love goes to Bandcamp for its fee-free Fridays and for supporting music artists while lockdowns cancelled live shows; but with a vast supply of high-quality original content plus a dizzyingly huge library of third-party series and movies, Netflix stood out as the one on-demand service that felt truly essential. Movie highlights included David Fincher’s Mank and the Safdie Brothers’ unnerving Uncut Gems, while binge-worthy shows like The Queen’s Gambit, The Last Dance, Tiger King and the fourth season of The Crown kept us sane during the endless weeks of lockdown. from £5.99/m / netflix.com
