There are so many services ever since it is not really easy to simply subscribe to everything - this threatens a hole in the budget. So you should choose.

It's also possible to watch the cult series: "Friends", "The Big Bang Theory", "Office" and "Clinic ".

Overall impression:

In my opinion, "KinoPoisk" has long turn into home entertainment - there exists a large selection of films and TV series, and what's not in the subscription are available or rented. Those who shouldn't buy films at full price can find promotional codes (there may be a number of them) and purchase several films for the ruble. The DeepDive function (recognition of actors and characters inside frame) is useful.

A selection of voice acting and a good subtitles is an absolute plus. "KinoPoisk" also cooperates while using studios "Cubic in Cuba", "Courage Bambey" is actually Syenduk. Because of the service, much less long ago, I completely switched to watching films in the main language, if possible.

"Amediateka"

Month - 599 ₽
3 months - 1499₽
6 months - 2699 rubles
Year - 4999₽
A regular membership offers you access to almost all content except for several TVOD titles.

The service features many hundreds of TV series, and films, many of which are exclusive documentaries for you to will be unable to see anywhere else.

The flagship projects of "Amediateka" include the premiere selection of the chief foreign studios, which are freed simultaneously with the entire world: hits from HBO, Showtime / CBS, Starz / Lionsgate, BBC, Sky and thus on. "Keepers", "Dark Principles", "Why Women Kill", "Catherine the Great" - all of this arrived to the service from the fall. Plus, proven hits can be found: "Bet on Thrones", "Sex along with the City", "Wiretapping", "Chernobyl ".

Overall impression:

Large selection, many high-profile premieres - from the last I looked at the Amediatek "Chernobyl", "Why Women Kill" and "Euphoria&rdquo ;.Conveniently, efficiently - everything will do to me, I have never had any complaints.

Okko

The amount does a subscription cost:

Okko has 11 different subscriptions according to the style of content, like Movies and TV Shows, Best Cartoons, Amediateka. They cost from 99 to 599 rubles per month. However it is better to pay attention to the subscription packages: "Optium" costs 399 rubles per month, "Premium" - 799 rubles.

Precisely what is in the subscription:

Optium includes eight separate subscriptions - 20,000 films and TV series, but without Amediateka. Flagship TV shows of HBO and several other studios, timeless TV shows like LOST and Clinic, quality films (although not the newest ones) - this all can be had using one of the subscriptions. Most likely the main plus is that each one content articles are conveniently separated into various collections.

Unfortunately, the Premium package does not provide access to the entire library. Digital releases quickly include Okko, but you make payment for for them. Some "Avengers: Endgame" - for additional money, "Mad Men" - a handful of hundred on top. Movies and TV shows could be rented in lieu of bought.

Overall impression:

Okko provides many interesting content and I liked the division into thematic collections. As if your task of choosing a set to the evening becomes easier. Yes, new items need to be bought, but with time they still get into the subscription. You already know, Netflix also has no movies right following cinemas. Although the service has one notable drawback: if you do not subscribe to the Amediateki package, then a large layer of high-quality serials disappears. Okko has many films, but Amediateka appears to be to blame for the series. Which isn't part of the "Optium" subscription.
