As sick as we all are of being cooped up inside due to the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic, streaming has been a vital lifeline keeping us relatively sane. Personally, I’ve been watching shows and movies I never would have made time for before the pandemic, like Onward on Disney+ and ESPN’s Michael Jordan documentary. Both are way more entertaining than I would have expected, and if not for being in quarantine, I know I wouldn’t have watched either of them. And based on the latest figures, I’m not the only one carving out more time for streaming.
