Netflix was making my brain rot, which is why I switched to this streaming platform instead

As much as I love rewatching Suits and bad reality TV (don’t judge—I’m a big fan of Temptation Island) on Netflix, there are times when I’m not trying to rot my brain any further (thanks, TikTok). And lately, I’ve been feeling like Netflix, Hulu, and my other streaming platforms aren’t quite cutting it with their content anyway.

I’ve been trying to watch more documentaries since I can never finish reading a complete novel, but the selections are, well, disappointing. When I heard that MagellanTV was a documentary streaming service with absolutely no ads and unique content, I was sold, especially since I got lifetime access for only $199.99 (reg. $999)!

Streaming made educational

Yup, I’ve been able to actually make my brain smarter, all by streaming with MagellanTV. I haven’t gotten bored with it either—there are over 3,000 docuseries and documentaries to dive into on virtually any topic. I’m partial to history, crime, and culture, but there are plenty of solid options if you’re into science, tech, war, and more.

I won’t spoil all of the platform’s offerings—you’ll have to grab a subscription for yourself to check it out!—but I’ve been loving titles like The Unsolved Killings of Jack the RipperBurnout: The Truth About Work, and John F. Kennedy: Making of a President.

Another thing I love about MagellanTV? When I’m feeling indecisive about what to watch, I can just turn on a documentary playlist and let it choose something totally new for me. I’ll also never have to worry about getting bored since the platform adds new content on a weekly basis.

Plus, I can share the knowledge with my friends and family, because MagellanTV lets me share my account and stream on up to five different devices. Take that, Netflix.

Ready to learn whenever you turn on your TV? Get a MagellanTV lifetime subscription for $199.99 for a bit longer!
