Angel Studios Review
Angel Studios is a streaming service featuring totally original shows bankrolled by the platform’s users. Users can watch shows on the platform, evaluate and support prototype shows, or even submit their own shows for consideration. Angel Studios’ biggest hit is “The Chosen,” a show about Jesus Christ that can be seen on many other streaming platforms.
Angel Studios allows independent filmmakers to create prototype shows and submit them to the “Angel Guild.” When the Guild approves, those prototypes become “torches.” From there, it’s up to individual investors to bankroll the projects they believe in. Allegedly, investors have the opportunity to share in profits if they ever emerge.
Although much of the content can be viewed free, that appears to be a function of whether someone has paid for you to watch. Viewers are encouraged to “pay it forward” if they enjoy a show. The prices for this vary.
Content
Originals
Everything you see on Angel Studios is original. While much of the content skews religious — “The Chosen” about the life of Jesus Christ is its biggest hit — there is plenty of secular content like the animated fantasy adventure “The Wingfeather Saga.” The sitcom “Freelancers” features some funny dialogue, although the acting is so-so. “Dry Bar Comedy” offers several standup shows.
Kids
Angel Studios has original kids shows like “Tuttle Twins,” “Jungle Beat,” and “The Riot and the Dance.”
