Stream ‘Peacemaker’ finale, ‘Elsbeth’ premiere, more this week

HBO Max’s latest DC series wraps its second season, and a live-action adaptation of a beloved animated property lands this week as well.

Known for breaking major streaming stories, he’s covered everything from Netflix policy shifts to Peacock’s ad-tier changes. A sci-fi fan and Toshiba Fire TV user, he brings sharp analysis and a love for the genre to his reporting.
Peacemaker, Elsbeth, and How to Train Your Dragon are top choices for new titles to stream this week.

How are we feeling going into the second full week of October, TV viewers? If you’re a YouTube TV subscriber, you may not be feeling all that great; although the streamer managed to dodge a carriage dispute with NBC, it is missing both Univision and Monumental Sports Network at the moment, and there’s not much indication that they’re coming back any time soon.

Either way, we’re going into a new week with new options to stream each day. Check out my favorite picks of titles to stream each and every day of the upcoming week — and I promise, if you’re being affected by blackouts, you’ll still be able to watch all of these shows and movies!

‘Monday Night Football,’ Kansas City Chiefs vs. Jacksonville Jaguars | ABC and ESPN, watch for as little as $5 with Sling TV

This is the exact kind of game that Sling TV’s new Passes are perfect for. If you don’t have another way to get ABC and ESPN, you can watch this storyline-filled Monday night matchup for just $5 with Sling. The Kansas City Chiefs enter the game at 2-2, with analysts wondering what kind of slow start the team is having this year; the kind that could still lead to the Super Bowl, or the kind that means they’re searching for answers at the end of the season.

Sling TV

Sling TV is The Streamable’s choice for cord-cutters on a budget. Sling is a live TV streaming service with multiple channel packages. The $45.99/month Sling Orange plan offers about 30 channels, including Disney Channel and ESPN. The $45.99/month Sling Blue plan offers about 40 channels, including ABC, Fox, and NBC in major markets.

You can combine Orange+Blue for a total of $60.99 / month. Sling also offers many channel add-on packages starting at $6/month.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are 3-1 to start the year, and all the buzz surrounding the team is focused on whether or not Liam Coen has finally found the answer to unlocking quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s potential. But the Jags’ defense has been sneaky good as well, and the Travis Hunter intrigue alone makes this a game you can’t miss as an NFL fan.
