Since the streaming revolution has taken off, there have been many new TV and movie streaming sites coming out nearly every day. Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video have been dominant forces in the streaming market for a while now, so it's no surprise that other companies want to get in on the action. Everybody and their uncle are trying to create their own streaming site these days, hoping to catch some of the sweet profits that come with being a part of this growing industry. I spend my days testing, evaluating, and analyzing every movie streaming site that I can find; the best ones are the ones that are worth knowing about.

I have found another site that deserves to be listed alongside the best movie streaming sites of all time and that site is Streamz.

Many people have already referred to Streamz as the "Flemish Netflix". It's only been around for about five months, so it's hard to say for certain if it's really that good. However, based on what people are saying, it sounds like this service might be pretty amazing.

From what I can tell, Streamz definitely deserves this distinction. The site offers a large library filled with a versatile blend of movies and TV series, as well as plenty of your favorite Flemish and Dutch movies and shows. Combine this with an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive interface, plenty of awesome user features, cross-platform compatibility (mobile, desktop, and smart TVs), and an ads-free premium movie streaming experience, and you have the recipe for one of the best movie streaming sites on the web today.

History

Telenet's Play service is being replaced by Streamz, which is owned and operated by Telenet's competitors. This is great news, as it will help to improve the quality of services in Belgium. Although Streamz is quickly becoming known as the Belgian Netflix, they weren't the first to coin this term. In fact, DPG Media was the first to suggest that there be a Belgian Netflix.

After much deliberation, the French-language channel VTM decided to back away from becoming the Flemish Netflix. This left room for another service, Streamz, to rise up and take this crown. VTM agreed to contribute their licensed content to Streamz, giving viewers a curated selection of programming from across all their channels.

In 2020, Telenet decided to get on board with Streamz. This was a huge partnership, as Telenet brought to the table the channels VIER, ZES, VIJF, and Woestijnvis, the production house. As if that wasn't enough, Telenet's own movie streaming service Play More would also bring syndicated productions from HBO - a huge win for the Streamz content library.

On August 12, 2020, the European Commission approved Streams. Shortly thereafter, the next major piece of the Streamz puzzle fell into place - its name.

The VRT made an official announcement on September 3, 2020 that they are also participating with Streamz. Many critics of Streamz had assumed that, without access to the VRT's support and catalog of older programs, Streamz would not have been a viable streaming platform. It has been reported that the VRT came under immense pressure from the Flemish government to cooperate. They did so gladly; however, the VRT did indicate that its primary concern would be its own streaming platform, VRT NU.

These weren't the only important historical landmarks for Streamz. The best streaming site in Belgium (perhaps) also struck some huge deals with international studios, such as Paramount, HBO, Sony, CBS, and Universal. The potential for content on Streamz is seemingly boundless because of this massive coalition of Flemish and international entertainment powerhouses.

For Telenet Play More subscribers, the start of Streamz on September 14, 2020 meant that their subscriptions would be converted. This was huge for Streamz, because it meant that the fledgling streaming service would not have to start from scratch. Instead, Streamz automatically took on a head start of more than 431,000 built-in subscribers who had been transferred over from Play More.

Design

The site and app design from Streamz is as sleek, intuitive, and user-friendly as its most popular competitors. This site is highly responsive, dynamic, and easy to use - much like the nickname ?Flemish Netflix? is also echoed in the site's design and layout. This website looks instantly familiar to anybody who has used a major movie streaming service before. It offers nothing revolutionary in that regard. Nevertheless, the design is effective - a series of side-scrolling horizontal menus separated by category. It's familiar, sure, but it works well.

Content and Features

Belgium's top movie streaming site, Streamz, offers a great variety of high-quality content, from American dramas to Flemish comedies. Whether you're a fan of American TV shows or you just want to watch some quality Belgian films, Streamz has something for you. One of the benefits of subscribing to Streamz is its access to an impressive list of HBO original series and films. This includes some of HBO's most popular titles, such as Euphoria, Batwoman, Game of Thrones, Sharp Objects, Watchmen, the Undoing, and His Dark Materials. However, it is not a complete catalog of all HBO movies and TV shows - it may be just enough to satisfy those that are waiting for HBO Max to go on sale.

With Streamz Plus, you'll have access to exclusive original content, including movies and series that have been unavailable elsewhere. Plus, by upgrading your account to Streamz Plus, you'll also be able to access some of the most recent blockbuster hits - a rarity for any movie streaming site. However, we'll explore this in more depth when we discuss the costs and plans for Streamz Plus.

With Streamz, you'll have all of the features that come with Flemish Netflix. You can download movies and TV shows to watch later, and you can create up to 5 personalized profiles. Plus, you can enjoy 5 simultaneous streams. So whether you want to watch a movie at home or on the go, Streamz has everything you need.

Mobile and Desktop Experience

One thing I love about Streamz is the level of cross-platform compatibility that comes with it. Not only does this movie streaming site offer an excellent desktop and mobile web browser experience, but there are also equally exquisite apps for just about every device out there. Whether you are streaming movies on your iOS or Android mobile device, ChromeCast, Apple TV, Android TV, LG Smart TV, Samsung Smart TV, or Telenet TV, Streamz offers a user-friendly and intuitive app. I have one gripe and that is that there is no Roku app available for Streamz. This is a huge disappointment because I own a Roku smart TV and I would love to be able to access the Streamz service through it. However, despite this small issue, I know that the majority of the Streamz app is very good.

Pricings and Plans

Streamz offers two subscription tiers: a premium tier with no ads, and a less-expensive ad-supported tier. You can enjoy nearly everything that Streamz has to offer, regardless of which subscription you choose. Here are the two options: If you want ad-free streaming, we have the premium option available with no ads. If you're not interested in ads, we also have the less expensive option where some content will be interrupted by commercials. If you're interested in our ?11.95/month, or ?119.45/year plan, you can save yourself two months of payments by opting for it now!

-You can subscribe to Streamz Plus for ?19.95/month, or ?199.45/year (again, 2 months off).

So, you are probably wondering, what is the big difference between Streamz and Streamz Plus? In my opinion, the main difference is that with Streamz Plus, you have access to additional content - including recent blockbusters. This might be worth paying nearly twice as much for your monthly membership (especially if you find yourself renting new movies or going to the theater frequently). Personally, though, I was expecting there to be some more features than that for such a price difference.
