Next is PlutoTV. This television app looks the most like traditional cable television.
Pluto TV has a channel guide that features 100s of channels and even movies on demand.

If you're a horror fan, they've got "The Ring", "The Grudge", "Silent Hill" and classics like "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Blob". Crackle also has a "Home School" channel for the littlest family members that can only be compared to the programming on PBS and Nick Jr. Under the Sony umbrella, Crackle holds its own.
Finally, NBC's Peacock TV. Unlike the other three services, Peacock TV has a free and paid plans. We're not here to discuss those paid plans though. Let's talk about the programming. Peacock TV has show series like "Downton Abbey", "Parenthood" and the wildly popular "Law & Order SVU" series.
