You're probably getting tired of hearing Stay home! every five minutes, but we need to hold on a little longer. Chris Hadfield himself gave us some tips to better handle self-isolation, but not everything has to be constant sacrifice. More free time means series and movies that have been waiting for a chance, and the portal Pluto TV is an excellent starting point. With channels for kids and adults alike, along with several on-demand options, you're likely to find something there without creating accounts or spending money.
As expected, mass self-isolation has made millions rely on the Internet for entertainment. Main service providers have had to adapt their offerings to the spectacular increase in demand, whether by reducing overall speed or lowering streaming quality. At the same time, searches for alternatives to YouTube and Netflix have multiplied, and one of the most interesting is Pluto TV.
What does Pluto TV offer?
Nothing less than free television via the Web. On one hand, we have the "Live TV" section, with dozens of channels divided into seven different categories: Featured, Pluto TV, Movies, Entertainment, Curiosity, Lifestyle, and Kids. Do you like anime? There's a channel dedicated exclusively to that content. Planning to cook during quarantine? The "Cooking" channel delivers truly exquisite experiences. Need a bit of horror? Some of the movies on its channel are fabulous classics. And of course, the "Kids" category is full of cartoons to keep the little ones entertained for hours.
The On-Demand Section
Not enough? Don't worry! With a single click on the On-Demand section, you can enter the "Netflix side" of Pluto TV. Dozens of movies, some very recent, ready for playback. Streaming quality isn't exactly a priority, but personally I don't see it as a problem, especially knowing it's a free service. Action, comedy, B-class science fiction... there's a lot to explore.
In summary, Pluto TV is ready to give you hours and hours of free entertainment, directly on any compatible browser. However, it doesn't have to be your only option during these days of confinement. The portal Conciertos en Casa has all the music you could ask for and more, Adult Swim released all of Samurai Jack (all five seasons!), and if you're a fan of Rick & Morty, well... here's an exclusive bite:
