Cinemas have long been the go-to source for family movie nights or movies with friends. From the delicious snacks and the cost of ticket prices, movie nights have been the ultimate night out for years. But as streaming services become more popular and home technology continues to improve, people are questioning whether watching films in the cinema is worth it.
Have you ever considered upgrading your TV? Our collection of cheap TVs could be the summer treat you deserve and will offer a much longer enjoyment than a handful of family visits to the cinema. We are going to discuss the top summer movies and series expected to appear on some streaming services and what to look for in a TV to help you get the most from your home TV viewing experience.
Films from Nextflix
Netflix has many movies and TV shows, including some unavailable on other streaming services. The platform also allows users to create their personalised lists of favourite shows and movies to save their favourites for future viewing. Here are some of the films expected from the streaming giant this summer:
Extraction 2
Extraction 2, the action-packed sequel, follows Tyler Rake’s thrilling adventures in a high-stakes rescue mission, navigating treacherous terrain and confronting formidable foes to save innocent lives—a must-watch for any action film lover and certainly one to watch out for.
Heart of Stone
Directed by Tom Harper, famous for the hit series Peaky Blinders, Heart of Stone follows Rachel Stone, a secret agent who is the only woman who stands between her powerful global peacekeeping organisation and the loss of its most valuable — and dangerous — asset. We cannot wait for this incredible action-filled film to hit our watch list!
Lift
Starring the comedic actor Kevin Hart, the plot of this film has been closely kept under wraps by Netflix, but what we do know is that it features Hart as a master thief whom his ex-girlfriend and the FBI woo to pull off an impossible heist with his international crew on a 777 flying from London to Zurich. We know this film will be adrenaline-filling, but Hart’s unique style will bring some excellent comedic value, too, perfect for those cosy date nights.
Films and Series from Disney+
Disney has been providing family-friendly entertainment for decades, and their streaming service allows you to easily access all your favourite characters, stories, and songs. It is a wonderful way to introduce your family to new things, and the variety of movies, shows, and music will keep everyone entertained. Here is what we can expect from Disney+ this summer:
Pupstruction
Nothing is quite as wholesome for a young audience as Paw Patrol, and the gang. This spin-off series is geared toward pre-schoolers and follows an innovative young corgi who proves size does not prevent you from having big dreams. This adorable pup will be loved by all young family members and is destined to become a hit favourite.
Flamin’ Hot
Flamin’ Hot is the story of Richard Montañez, the Frito Lay janitor who channelled his Mexican American heritage and upbringing to turn Flamin’ Hot Cheetos into a snack that disrupted the food industry and became a global phenomenon. Based on real people, this film will have you glued to the screen. Be sure to bring the right snack.
Echo
Streaming exclusively on Disney+, the origin story of “Echo” revisits Maya Lopez, whose ruthless behaviour in New York City catches up with her in her hometown. She must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots, and embrace the meaning of family and community if she ever hopes to move forward. This one is perfect for anyone who follows the Marvel Universe and is a spin-off from the Hawkeye mini-series released in 2021.
Films and Series on Prime Video
Prime Video is a great streaming platform because it offers an incredible selection of movies and TV shows and the ability to rent or buy titles. You can also subscribe to Prime Video, which gives you access to unlimited streaming at no extra cost. Here is what to expect from Prime this summer:
How to Date Billy Walsh
This British high school rom-com follows two teenagers – Archie and Amelia, who have been best friends since childhood. Archie has been in love with Amelia for as long as he can remember. When he builds up the courage to declare his feelings, Amelia falls head over heels for transfer student Billy Walsh. This film is bound to make you cringe, laugh and love simultaneously.
Good Omens (Season 2)
For those who fell in love with season one, which featured David Tennent, you do not have to wait long for season two. We will admit that the first series is still on our watchlist, but who doesn’t love David Tennant? Aziraphale, a fussy angel, and the fast-living demon Crowley are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London’s Soho when a messenger presents a surprising mystery. Bound to have you laughing at the comrades’ activities.
Wilderness
Liv and Will, a British couple, enjoy a seemingly perfect marriage and life in New York, far from their hometown. However, when Liv discovers Will’s affair, heartbreak turns to fury. Will suggests a trip around America’s National Parks to save their relationship, but Liv has revenge in mind. Wilderness is a dark love story where a dream holiday and an assumed “happily-ever-after” rapidly descend into a nightmare. We expect lots of tears for this series with an element of thrill.
Upgrade Your TV for the Best Experience
The screen size is the first thing to consider when looking for a new TV. A good rule of thumb is that the bigger the screen, the better-quality picture you can see and enjoy. However, this does not mean every room has space for an enormous TV, so you should consider other factors before buying one.
The next thing to think about is your budget. How much money are you willing to spend on a new TV? If you have a small budget, it might be worth looking at cheaper options, such as our cheap OLED TVs, which are often more affordable than buying from larger retailers. They have the same high-level quality, but due to being graded TVs, they can offer a much more affordable option.
Additionally, it would help to consider whether you want an Ultra HD display on your new TV, as this will significantly improve the quality and clarity of your viewing experience compared to a standard HD TV. We have a great selection of 4K TV deals that can help you find an incredible device, no matter your budget.
Get Your New TV in Time for a Summer of Entertainment
A smart TV is the best choice for streaming platforms. The main advantage of having a smart TV is the ability to stream movies and shows from various platforms, all with just a single button click on your remote control. This makes finding what you want to watch easily with minimal fuss. Also, they often come with voice control functionality built-in, so you can search for shows using just your voice rather than having to type in the name of what you want to watch into an on-screen keyboard, making it easy to keep your hand free for snacking.
