I hope this isn't covered like every 10 pages in this thread, but is there a good site that lets you enter the name of a movie (or TV show), and have it tell you which streaming services it's available for free on, if any?

https://www.canistream.it is what I generally use, but it falls somewhere between "doesn't work whatsoever" and "mildly works but with an experience as pleasant as diarrhea".

I can't tell you how many times I've clicked the wrong "Movies" because they're three inches apart from each other and are almost the exact same size and font.

Just Watch is what I use, too. It lets you customize which streaming services you use and even pulls from smaller stuff like Shudder. It's very good.

I am 8 episodes in on The Handmaid's Tale, and all I have to say is give it every drama award possible please (and give Master of None all the other awards). Also I knew it was coming after watching Mad Men all those years, but I am in love with ‎Elisabeth Moss. This is even despite the fact she is into Scientology (why oh why given their history of mistreating people).

While I haven't finished it, I was surprised to learn there was going to be a season 2. I thought it was just a mini-series.

It really is a great series. Everything the changed or added improved the story, and Atwood is on board to help write season two.

Although it suggests you can't stream Twin Peaks: The Return anywhere so it looks like it's not airtight.

Hulu was the only PS4 streaming app I had that was legitimately unstable, as in it would crash regularly. Just lock up and completely crash sometimes when I would go to play something.

Well you can't with just a sub to one of the normal streaming services, which I think is the point of that search engine. You can stream it but you have to pay for Showtime, which I don't think has it's own individual streaming service. It's an add-on that's extra on top of whatever membership you have with a streaming service(I watched Twin Peaks on Prime).

But Showtime is clearly listed as one of the streaming services it checks, and if you search other stuff available on Showtime (like Twin Peaks or Fire Walk With Me) it shows up as streamable on Showtime. My issue is just that if I have a streaming service, I want to know that the site will check the service for the thing. Otherwise I'm always going to have to double check, because I can't be sure that a "no" from the site is a "no" for a service.

They lost me when they lost Criterion and then I grew out of my 8 year long Gordon Ramsay phase, so there was really no reason to continue the subscription.

The live tv package with Hulu is a great value for the channels you get, but the interface is so so terrible. I'd have to spend almost $30 more to get the same channels I need with DirecTV, and I'm halfway considering it to get away from that interface.

Any reason Sling isn't an option? Its interface is the best of any I've tried, and it's got a few more options if you want to pick and choose

Right now it's Michael Mann Presents: Close Up of A Peach. I'm not sure if they have other shows, or just the peach thing. Sometimes a giant picture of Handmaids Tale or Adventure Time is projected onto the neon peach skin, but I'm not sure if I can watch those or if it's just like... it's commentary or... something? Still trying to work it out. V conceptual.

Playstation Vue is an option. Probably $10-$20 more expensive than hulu though, especially if you're counting the free standard hulu subscription as part of that value.

I like the Vue interface on PS4, but I imagine the performance would be lacking on Roku or whatever.

The Vue app on Roku is not good (last time I checked), but it works great on AppleTV 4 gen and FireTV. In my experience the performance overall is better on those 2 boxes than my PS Pro. It is to the point that I never use my Playstations to Vue.

Yeah I might have to give that another shot. I did the trial when it first came out and wasn't too impressed, but my expectations have lowered considerably since then.

The new version of the Hulu app on the PS4 is really just absolute crap. Sure, it's pretty, but the UI makes zero sense. And it crashes all the time. And every time it crashes, it doesn't remember where I was in the middle of the episode, and when I reload it, it wants to start at the very start of the episode.
