There are a lot of films and TV series. New ones are constantly appearing in Russia, and American ones with Netflix and Apple TV+ are being discussed all over the world. Even if you follow the film industry closely, you will always have something to do in the evenings and on weekends.
There are also many online cinemas, and they differ from each other in content. Almost everyone produces exclusive, good quality content that cannot be found in others. We compared everyone's conditions. We study prices and libraries to watch the best online cinema depending on your interests.
Netflix
The world's largest online cinema and the main trend maker in this area. You've obviously heard about The Squid Game this fall, so this is a Netflix exclusive. To be convincing, here are the numbers: in the first four weeks after the premiere, the series was watched by 142 million viewers around the world - this is slightly less than the population of Russia (144.1 million in 2020).
The main advantage of Netflix compared to Russian cinemas is its international service, operating in hundreds of countries around the world. If you go to Europe or Turkey, it will work there, unlike IVI, Okko, Kinopoisk and other local online cinemas.

Apple TV+
A competitor to Netflix around the world, which also knows how to do PR. Apple TV+'s answer to The Squid Game is Ted Lasso, the world's most popular sports comedy.
The series will be released in the summer of 2022. Actor Jason Sudeikis, who plays the lead role, won a Golden Globe, and the project itself received 20 Emmy nominations (a record) and seven statuettes.
The advantage of this online cinema is the same as that of Netflix - it has a broadcast license in almost every country you can go to. This means that most likely you will not be left without content.

"Amazing Stories"
It seems that this is the biggest project of this part of the TV season. The project is headed by Steven Spielberg - he became an executive producer.
In the mid-80s, Stephen was already creating an anthology under the same name. This short series was named after a science fiction monthly magazine published in the United States since the mid-1920s.

The new “Amazing Stories” is a new look at these stories. The show will consist of five one-hour episodes, airing every Friday starting March 6th. The showrunners are Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz (Lost, Tron: Legacy, Once Upon a Time). The directors' chairs were occupied by television directors Chris Long, Mark Milod, Michael Dinner, Suzanne Vogel and Sylvain White, who already have such major projects under their belts as "Game of Thrones", "The Americans", "Descendants", "Sneaky Pete", "Utopia" " and others.

Applications where you can watch watch several TV channels for free and by subscription
For Apple TV 4K, there are a sufficient number of applications that allow you to watch entire selections of various TV channels by subscription. Another question is that some of them are regional and provide full access only in the Russian Federation, while abroad they offer limited content - this is everyone’s favorite MEGOGO cinema, which has television, Big TV, Wink TV from Rostelecom and others. There are also applications that allow you to watch a little more TV channels, mainly the main federal ones, a few educational, entertainment and sports ones. Moreover, a sufficient number of these same channels can be watched completely free of charge, but, alas, in rather mediocre quality. And if on the iPhone and iPad this is quite tolerable, then on a large TV screen I would still like at least Full HD.
However, many thanks to the developers for this alternative. After all, in fact, this is the easiest and most convenient way to discover television in your native language abroad for free. I recommend two such applications for Apple TV from the App Store - SPB TV World and Light HD TV.

The film tells the true (more or less) story of Bernard Garrett and Joe Morris, two black businessmen who confront the racist financial establishment on its own turf by training a working-class white man to impersonate the wealthy owner of their real estate and banking business.

The plot centers on a Philadelphia couple who are grieving the loss of their 13-week-old baby and hire a nanny to look after their “baby” Jericho, a lifelike doll. Trying to cope with grief on his own, Sean (the child's father) begins to develop a deep mistrust of the nanny Leanne.
The second season delves deeper into Leanne's past, weaving an increasingly complex web of suspicions and illusions.
