S03E003: Tier Me Out! #003: Streaming Showdown 📺 (Sid+Matthew+Shai+Tao)📺

In this binge-worthy episode of Tier Me Out, the team is back—and they’re taking on the ultimate showdown of streaming services. Whether you're into sports, dramas, reality shows, or exclusive originals, not all platforms are created equal.

Sid, Shai, Matthew, and Tao debate which services are worth your subscription… and which ones might be better off canceled.

📺 Here’s what’s on the watchlist:

• Netflix – The OG. Still a powerhouse or slipping lately? 🔴

• Hulu – Live TV and next-day shows, but does it hold up? 🟢

• Max – Prestige drama central or just HBO with more fluff? 🎭

• Paramount Plus – Hidden gems or mostly filler? 🚀

• Amazon Prime Video – Free with Prime, but do you actually use it? 📦

• ESPN – Sports lovers unite… or is it too niche? 🏈🏀⚽

💡 Who lands in the top tier of must-have entertainment?
📉 Who ends up in the bottom tier of buffering disappointment?
🎤 And which service sparked the biggest disagreement in the group?

Whether you're Team Netflix or Team Cancel-It-All-And-Read-A-Book, this episode is packed with hot takes, streaming stats, and plenty of laughs along the way.
