Where the big franchises are
Disney+ has the Star Wars and Marvel series. Prime Video makes The Rings of Power and The Boys. Apple TV has Severance, Foundation and Silo, and Paramount+ has Star Trek. Netflix carries Stranger Things and a wide range of international genre series.
Free on British TV
Doctor Who is on BBC iPlayer, and older genre series often turn up on ITVX, Channel 4 and free services like Pluto TV and Tubi.
Binge a long series
If a show has several seasons on one service, a month or two of that service is usually cheaper than buying the seasons outright.
