Peacock has quietly become one of my family's favorite streaming service.
Dr. Death: It's an 8 episode series based on a true story about a spinal surgeon in Dallas circa 2012 who maimed and/or killed nearly 3 dozen patients. Joshua Jackson is perfect in the title role with Alec Baldwin, Christian Slater (also amazing) and Kelsey Grammer filling out the supporting cast. There's also a four episode companion docu-series with interviews with the real doctors, patients & friends.
Joe Montana: Cool Under Pressure: a six episode docu-series, however only five episodes have been released thus far. This one is pretty self explanatory, the history of one of the greatest QBs to ever play the game.
Resident Alien: Alan Tudyk plays an alien hiding amongst humans pretending to be a doctor in a small town while he looks for parts from his crashed ship so he can leave. Tudyk is hilarious as always.
Mr. Mercedes: three season series based on the trilogy by Stephen King. Brendan Gleason plays a retired detective still trying to solve the last case he worked before retiring. It's dark and twisted, and the novels are some of King's best of the last decade. Season one (based on book 1) is amazing. Season 2 (based on book 3) isn't quite as good but still solid. Season 3 (based on book 2) has a solid beginning... but I haven't finished yet.
Bel Air: A dramatic remake of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The trailer is solid, but I haven't watched the show yet.
My family just finished running through all of Brooklyn 99, Modern Family, Parks & Rec and Superstore on there. Yellowstone gets rave reviews, although I've never watched it. All of Psych and the newer movies are a solid watch as well.
They've also corralled plenty of classics which are good to put on when you want to watch something familiar like Cheers, Frasier, the Office, House, & Law & Order.

And as far as the whole MS/Activision thing goes, I think you guys are thinking too small. So MS spends $80b (between both acquisitions) to cater to the same 50 million people that already buy their system? Sure they're rope in millions more for these exclusives but that still seems short sighted. I think the ultimate play is for Game Pass to be their bread and butter across all platforms. They don't make money on consoles. They make money on subscriptions and games. Why limit your pool of players to the same 50 million that already buy your stuff when you can also gain access to the 100m Sony gamers and the 100m Nintendo gamers? It's also not a fanboy thing. All my friends are hardcore Xbox fans and they too think that's where the MS and Xbox brand is headed.
Another thing to consider, will some of those big budget games like CoD still get the same budgets if they're catering to half the player base?
All around I just think this is bad for gamers in the long run.
