What’s better than going out with friends? Why, staying home and streaming in, of course. This year’s streaming services are delighting introverts all across the nation. Thanks to the efforts of services such as Netflix, Sling, and Amazon Prime, it’s now perfectly acceptable to hang out on the couch on a Friday night instead of socializing out on the town, and you don’t even have to put on real pants. Cathey’s Audio Visual Entertainment can help you get started.
Why Stay In and Watch?
Families in 2020 seem to love staying in, and why not? They can watch the latest movies and films in a much more cost-effective way through their choice of streaming services. After all, there’s no waiting in a line that extends around the corner and out into the parking lot. Oh, and the snacks are cheaper, too. Want a nice alcoholic beverage to go with that psychological thriller? No problem. Streaming services make good things possible.
