What about live TV streaming services?
Another option for streaming TV is to use a live platform like Sling or YouTube TV. They stream channels similar to linear TV without a contract, offering access to content about true crime, animals, celebrities, and more. Pluto TV is free and has a selection of documentary-themed channels, but these live TV streaming services cost more than on-demand platforms.
What if I don’t want ads?
Expect to pay to stream ad-free on streaming services like Netflix, Magellan, Max, and Hulu. Most free services include ads (except Kanopy) because that’s how the platform is supported.
Which app is best for kids?
The most family-friendly documentary content is likely to be found on PBS, Magellan, Kanopy, and Curiosity Stream. While Disney Plus isn’t on this list, it does have some excellent content from National Geographic.
