Streaming is the future.
Cable companies are watching their subscriptions crumble as more and more people switch to life without them.
So it's no coincidence that internet heavyweights like Netflix and Amazon are investing heavily in original content.

The following 24 series prove you'll still be able to binge watch to you heart's content if you cancel your cable plan.
