Remember when streaming was choosing between Netflix and Hulu? The explosion in streaming services has been great for fans of endless content, but it can be a strain on our budgets.

还记得在Netflix和Hulu之间选择流媒体播放的时候吗? 流媒体服务的爆炸增长对于内容无限的粉丝来说是巨大的,但这可能会给我们的预算带来压力。

We’ve seen numerous high-profile platforms debut in the last year, including Disney+ and HBO Max, but another one is on the horizon: NBC’s Peacock arrives on July 15.

如何看Kong雀 (How to Watch Peacock)

Comcast Xfinity customers with an X1 or a Flex 4K streaming device have access to Peacock at no additional cost. Open the app on your smart TV and sign up with an email to gain access.

Peacock will be accessible on a variety of platforms, including iOS, iPadOS, and Android; Apple TV and Chromecast; Microsoft Xbox, and Vizio SmartCast and LG Smart TVs. It will arrive on the Sony PlayStation the week of July 20. As with HBO Max, however, NBCUniversal has not yet secured deals with Roku or Amazon for streaming on their devices, CNBC reports.

Peacock将可在包括iOS,iPadOS和Android在内的各种平台上访问; Apple TV和Chromecast; Microsoft Xbox,Vizio SmartCast和LG Smart TV。 据CNBC报道 ,它将于7月20日当周到达Sony PlayStation。与HBO Max一样 ,与HBO Max一样 ,NBCUniversal尚未与Roku或Amazon达成在其设备上进行流式传输的交易。

电视节目来了Kong雀 (TV Shows Coming to Peacock)

As you’d expect, the lion’s share of Peacock programming comes from the NBCUniversal library.

如您所料,Kong雀编程的最大份额来自NBCUniversal库。

Unfortunately for users of other streaming services, Peacock will eventually populate its library with series pulled from rival platforms, including The Office, which departs Netflix for Peacock in 2021. Parks and Recreation wasn’t supposed to appear on Peacock until October, but it will apparently be available at launch, Peacock posted on Twitter (the show is still on Netflix).

不幸的是,其他流媒体服务用户,Kong雀最终将填充其库,从竞争对手的平台, 包括Office,从而拉升系列离开 Netflix公司的Kong雀在2021年公园和娱乐应该对Kong雀出现,直到十月,但它会Peacock显然在发布时就可用了,Peacock在Twitter上发布了(该节目仍在Netflix上)。

Frasier will also stream on Peacock, as will 30 Rock, with a reunion special airing on NBC this week and coming to Peacock on July 17. And Peacock has promised to offer “all 44 seasons” of SNL. Hulu currently offers seasons 1–5 and 30–44, and it’s unclear if that will change, since NBCU parent company Comcast still has a 33 percent stake in Hulu.

弗雷西耶(Frasier)30摇滚 ( 30 Rock)也将在Kong雀开播,本周在美国全国广播公司(NBC)上将有特别团聚节目,并于7月17日到达Kong雀。Kong雀已承诺提供SNL的 “全部44个赛季”。 目前,Hulu提供1-5和30-44季,目前尚不清楚是否会改变,因为NBCU母公司Comcast仍持有Hulu 33%的股份。

Well-received shows like Superstore will be on Peacock. But one of the bigger draws is pretty much every show from Dick Wolf Productions, which means the very bingeable Law & Order and Chicago Fire franchises. Other shows that will be on Peacock at launch include a bunch of inexplicably popular and long-lived USA Network entries, including Psych (which is also getting a new spin-off, made-for-streaming movie) and Monk. Nostalgia entries include Airwolf and Columbo.

Superstore这样受欢迎的节目将在Kong雀上。 但更大的吸引力之一是迪克·沃尔夫(Dick Wolf Productions)的每场演出,这意味着法律和秩序以及芝加哥消防公司的业务非常狂暴。 Kong雀乐队将在发布会上放映的其他节目包括一堆莫名其妙的流行且长期存在的USA Network条目,包括Psych (也正在获得新的衍生,流媒体制作的电影)和Monk 。 怀旧作品包括AirwolfColumbo

There’s also plenty of brainless reality TV to suck down, if that’s your bag. Peacock brings you such shows as Ghost Hunters International and Chrisley Knows Best, along with dozens of others.

如果那是您的包包,那么还有很多无脑的真人秀电视需要吸引。 Kong雀为您带来了诸如Ghost Hunters InternationalChrisley Knows Best之类的节目,以及许多其他节目

Peacock also signed a deal to license several TV shows from the ViacomCBS library, including Showtime series Ray Donovan and The Affair, plus Undercover Boss, The Game, Everybody Hates Chris and Real Husbands of Hollywood.

Kong雀还签署了一项协议,从ViacomCBS库中获得数个电视节目的许可,其中包括Showtime系列的Ray DonovanThe Affair ,以及Undercover Boss, The Game, Every Hate ChrisHollywood Real Husbands。

电影来Kong雀 (Movies Coming to Peacock)

Peacock’s film library should make it pretty competitive with Netflix and Hulu, since NBCUniversal owns Universal Pictures, Focus Features, DreamWorks, and Illumination. The company promises to have at least 600 movies streaming by the end of its first year.

由于NBCUniversal 拥有 Universal Pictures,Focus Feature,DreamWorks和Illumination,因此Peacock的电影库应该使其在Netflix和Hulu中具有相当的竞争力。 该公司承诺到第一年年底将至少流播600部电影。

At launch, you’ll be able to watch every movie in the Jurassic Park franchise, as well as numerous other classics, including E.T, Jaws, and American Psycho, along with tons of Hitchcock thrillers. Shrek and the Despicable Me series are also on board, thanks to DreamWorks and Illumination.

在启动时,您将能够观看侏罗纪公园系列中的每部电影,以及众多其他经典作品,包括ET,JawsAmerican Psycho以及大量的希区柯克惊悚片。 借助DreamFactory和《照明》, 史瑞克和《 卑鄙的我》系列也加入了。

Even more films are set to migrate over to Peacock after their licensing agreements expire with other streaming platforms, including the Godfather trilogy and several of the Fast and the Furious movies. The general high quality of Peacock’s movie offerings is one definite plus, as it’s not cluttered with a lot of B-movie junk like some of its competitors.

在与其他流媒体平台(包括《 教父》三部曲以及几部《 速度与激情》电影)的许可协议到期后,更多电影将被迁移到Kong雀。 Kong雀电影产品的总体高质量是其绝对的优势,因为它不像其他竞争对手那样挤满了很多B级电影的垃圾电影。

Kong雀的原始表演 (Original Shows Coming to Peacock)

In 2020, the real selling point for streaming services is exclusive content. Ever since Netflix transformed itself from a mail-away DVD service, it’s blazed the trail for original shows and movies with a massive portfolio of offerings across all genres and audiences.

2020年,流媒体服务的真正卖点是独家内容。 自从Netflix从邮寄DVD服务转变为自己的服务以来,它就为原始节目电影开创了先河,并提供涵盖所有类型和受众的大量产品组合。

At launch, Peacock… doesn’t have that. The service debuts with under a dozen exclusive shows, several of which are just new seasons of long-running kids shows, such as Curious George. The COVID-19 production shutdown has pushed many prospective originals out to next year.

发射时,Kong雀……没有。 该服务以不到十二个独家节目的形式首次亮相 ,其中一些只是长期运行的儿童节目的新季,例如Curious George 。 COVID-19的生产停工已将许多预期的原件推迟到明年。

Probably the most interesting original series on Peacock’s slate is Brave New World. This adaptation of Aldous Huxley’s seminal science-fiction novel has had a troubled path to the screen; it was first piloted for SyFy, then moved over to USA before finally going straight to streaming. The premise is that a future civilization has created world peace and contentment at the cost of just about everything that makes us human.

Kong雀石板上最有趣的原创剧集可能是《 勇敢的新世界》 。 阿尔杜斯·赫x黎(Aldous Huxley)开创性的科幻小说的改编在通往银幕的过程中遇到了麻烦。 它最初是为SyFy进行试验的,然后移至美国,然后才直接进入流媒体。 前提是,未来的文明以使我们成为人类的一切事物为代价创造了世界和平与满足。

Also interesting-but not available at launch-is an animated adaptation of the popular podcast The Adventure Zone, created by the McElroy family. That property has already seen a graphic novel spin-off, and the McElroys had a show on Comcast’s short-lived Seeso platform, so we’re cautiously optimistic.

由McElroy家族创作的流行播客《冒险区》的动画改编版也很有趣,但在发布时不可用。 该物业已经看到了图形小说的分拆,而且McElroys在康卡斯特短暂的Seeso平台上进行了演出,因此我们谨慎乐观。

Peacock is also going hard on the nostalgia. The service has already ordered two reboot series for Saved by the Bell and Punky Brewster, hooking 90s and 80s kids, respectively. It will also be home to the second reboot of Battlestar Galactica, which is going to be a tough sell considering the last take on the concept is widely recognized as one of the best sci-fi series of all time.

Kong雀在怀旧方面也很努力。 该服务已经为BellPunky Brewster订购了两个重新启动系列,分别吸引了 90和80年代的孩子。 它还将是Battlestar Galactica的第二次重启的家,考虑到对这一概念的最后一次认可已被公认为有史以来最好的科幻系列之一,这将是一个艰难的出售。

As befits a modern streaming service, Peacock also has a handful of international titles snagged from overseas partners.

为了适应现代流媒体服务,Kong雀还拥有从海外合作伙伴手中抢购的一些国际头衔。

判决:Kong雀值得吗? (The Verdict: Is Peacock Worth the Money?)

At launch, Peacock is probably not worth an extra $10 per month. You can get a taste for free, or deal with some ads for $5, but until The Office starts streaming and licensing deals kick in later this year, you might want to save your cash. You’re also not going to find NBC super-hits like Friends and Seinfeld; Friends is on HBO Max, while Netflix signed a deal to stream Seinfeld starting next year (it’s currently on Hulu).

在发布时,Kong雀每月可能不值10美元。 您可以免费试用或以5美元的价格处理一些广告,但是在Office于今年晚些时候开始流式传输和许可交易开始之前,您可能希望节省现金。 您也不会找到NBC超级热门歌曲,例如FriendsSeinfeld朋友在HBO Max上直播,而Netflix 签署了一项协议 ,从明年开始播放Seinfeld (目前在Hulu上)。

The service just doesn’t have the killer shows that would entice us into adding yet another service to our already crowded menu. It doesn’t have a unique identity, either-it’s just “here’s some stuff we own.”

该服务只是没有杀手shows的表演,诱使我们为已经拥挤的菜单添加另一项服务。 它也没有唯一的身份-只是“这是我们拥有的一些东西”。

That’s not to say the service won’t find its footing in the future. Comcast has massive resources behind it, and it definitely had big plans before COVID-19 basically set all media production back a year. If you’re a superfan of the content, go for it, but we’ll probably wait a few months, see how the originals look, and make a decision then.

这并不是说该服务将来不会立足。 康卡斯特拥有大量资源,在COVID-19基本上将所有媒体制作推迟一年之前,它肯定有重大计划。 如果您是内容的超级拥护者,请继续努力,但我们可能要等上几个月,看看原始内容的外观,然后做出决定。
