WWE content aside, it's not a very good service. The original content in particular is real lacking in quantity compared to its competitors.

It's just a really weak service, I had a subscription for awhile but I dropped it because I was mostly using it for SVU and turned out the show's also on Hulu anyway. And you can tell by watching it that they don't do well with sponsors either because most of the ads are for itself.

And you can tell by watching it that they don't do well with sponsors either because most of the ads are for itself. Starting in September, Hulu is losing access to NBC's entire prime time line up, including SVU, so that Peacock can have all those shows to itself. You will still be able to watch the episodes that Hulu already has, at least for a bit, but all future episodes will be on Peacock.

Peacock legitimately has probably the worst user interface of any streaming service and the worst selection of original content outside of the sports and WWE stuff.

If I didn't have it free with my Comcast service, I wouldn't have it. It's not very good.

I dropped down from the paid version to the free version. Now that the Olympics are over, I only use it for WWE content, but the last few premium live events lagged so badly when playing them on my desktop, I ended up having to watch them on my laptop instead. I know it's an old desktop, but every other streaming service runs just fine on it.

Peacock is trash. The WWE component of Peacock is dumpster fire levels of trash, particularly for those of us who had become accustomed to everything the Network had to offer.
Of all the major streaming services, Peacock is far and away the worst, least user-friendly one, and the extent to which the available WWE content has been limited or neutered really soured me on the whole thing.
I canceled.

Amazon and Peacock are bottom of the barrel in terms of interface, but Amazon's got a huge advantage in terms of original content, both quantity and quality.

Peacock has a lot of good catalogs shows,but they dont' really have anything anyone would subscribe to a streaming service just to get. Also I feel like the people who subscribe for WWE or Soccer or Rugby is like the opposite demographic of who all their original shows seems to be catered to. Like someshow I doubt some British Expat Rugby dude is just one promo ad a way from watching Girl5Eva or Love Island or some YA horror show.

I can tell those calling Peacock having the worst interface do not have FRNDLY.
I got it months back so I could have METV,Decades and FETV. And it is cheap. But the interface is total shit.

I'm sticking with it. It's worth it to me for a chunk of wrestling content, a decent movie selection and TV series that look interesting to me.

Well well, NBCU finally did something right with its streaming service. The app on my Apple TV updated and, like other services, Peacock finally copied the Netflix layout with the side bar to access content. As you can see, WWE has its own tab. I wish there was an option to switch to the classic WWE Network layout, and that NBCU wouldn’t list WWE’s shows and PPVs as seasons (boy do I hate that). But this is a big step up from the original interface.

Thats what happens when you have a really bad interface. Can't blame the E for selling to them. When they got the bag

Well, they must be desperate for more sign ups this quarter because I got a year subscription of Peacock for $20.
Even someone as cheap as me can see the quick return on that with football starting and films like Halloween Ends coming soon.
Oh, and I guess wrestling sometimes, maybe.
