Enter VidAngel, a game-changer in the streaming world that’s all about letting you enjoy movies and shows your way. It’s like having a remote control with superpowers — if you don’t like something, just zap it out.
At its core, VidAngel is all about customization. It’s for those movie nights with the kids, or when you’re just not in the mood for another F-bomb. It’s for everyone who’s thought, “I’d love this movie if it weren’t for that one part.”
So, if you’ve ever wanted a little more control over what you’re watching, without missing out on the good stuff, we’ve got the details on how you can make that happen. In this article, we’re diving into how VidAngel works, and we’ve got the scoop on the latest titles hitting their platform.
Understanding VidAngel
Imagine stumbling upon a magic wand that lets you take out the bits of movies and TV shows you’d rather skip —like that awkward scene you wouldn’t want to watch with your parents or the excessive violence that just isn’t your cup of tea. That’s VidAngel in a nutshell. It’s not just another streaming service; it’s your personalized content curator, making sure you can watch what you love — minus the stuff you don’t.
What is VidAngel?
VidAngel is like that friend who knows your tastes so well, they can tell you exactly when to cover your eyes or plug your ears during a film. Born out of a desire to make movie nights more inclusive, VidAngel offers a unique proposition, it lets you filter out content from movies and TV shows that you find objectionable or inappropriate. Whether it’s language, violence, or sexual content, VidAngel puts you in the director’s chair, allowing you to tailor your viewing experience to match your or your family’s preferences with a variety of “filters” to apply to movies and shows in its database.
How is VidAngel Different from Other Streaming Platforms?
VidAngel isn’t a streaming platform, but rather connects to services that you already subscribe to and applies filters to what you want to watch on your smart TV or computer. Parents especially love the control VidAngel offers, ensuring their kids can enjoy a broader range of films and shows while keeping the content age-appropriate. But it’s not just for families; whether you have specific sensitivities or just want to skip the gore in horror movies, VidAngel offers a personalized viewing experience that respects your boundaries and preferences.
Because VidAngel is supplemental, you will need to get a paid account with the service before you can use it along with your subscription toNetflix, Paramount+, Peacock, Prime Video, or other subscriptions. You can sign up for a VidAngel now with a 14-day free trial and your first month for just $1 with code STREAMABLE. That’s six weeks of filtered content for just a single dollar.

But after Joy disappears, her children are forced to re-examine their parents’ marriage and their family history with fresh eyes.

Compared to other series in this list, “Apples Never Fall” is pretty tame. It still has a TV-MA rating for a plethora of curse words throughout the episodes, but doesn’t have many graphic scenes.
