The free streamer with 40,000 shows on offer, is Tubi worth your time? RNZ If you’re cutting down on paid subscription services to save cash but still need stuff to watch, here’s some good news: Free streamer Tubi has 40,000 films and TV shows available at the click of a button. Here’s a quick guide to some of the wonders you can find at tubitv.com – all free of charge and supported by advertising.

These selections are by no means representative of all that the site offers. These are the ones that caught my eye as I scrolled the seeming endless list of straight-to-video knock-offs, Spanish-language soaps and Euro-thrillers. They align with my tastes and interests and yours will, of course, be different.



Trust me, you will find something eventually. One of the ways you can narrow down the upwards of 40,000 films and shows to something more manageable is to make good use of the many categories that Tubi uses to define its content. I tried “Award Winners & Nominees” and got an excellent list to sample from – also “Modern Classics”, “Art-house Films” and “Music & Concerts” (where I found Without Getting Killed or Caught , an excellent documentary about the country singer/songwriter Guy Clark.

But if you just want to wallow in long seasons of shows about people building and renovating houses then there’s a huge “House & Garden” section just for you. There’s also a large, dedicated kids section where you’ll find big brands like Garfield and Barne.
