With so many streaming services available ranging from free ad supported to premium (no ads) options it's sometimes hard to stay loyal with a particular service.
Plus with many newer competing services hitting streaming platforms with extraordinary deals and special features some of the bigger powerhouses may eventually taste defeat by their successors.
During this day by day tournament we will be discussing 20 different streaming service pros and cons while voting based on their design layouts, content, price, accessibility and overall satisfaction...
Let the games begin!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
For ROUND ONE I thought it'd be best to start off with the overall number 1 streaming service in NETFLIX, who's not only considered America's favorite but also throughout much of the world as the be all end all in terms of streaming, matched up against a very well known Cable TV staple who sports a good above average streaming service in Showtime.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

#1 - Netflix
VS.
#20: Showtime

Netflix Cons:

Alot of outdated movies and TV shows runs throughout Netflix's catalog

Showtime's Pros:
