Treat yourself to award-winning exclusives and originals with access to thousands of the best documentaries when you purchase your lifetime subscription to Curiosity Stream for the discounted price of $160 (previously $400).
The Better Discovery Channel
Curiosity Stream is the real deal. The service was launched in 2015 by media visionary, John Hendricks. Hendricks is the founder and former chairman of Discovery, Inc — previous owners of the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet before its merger with WB to create Warner Brothers Discovery.
Remember when Discovery Channel has cool stuff? Things like documentaries on science, technology and history. Then by the 2010s, it went down hill — expanding into pseudo-science and reality television.
Curiosity Stream is old school Discovery Channel made for the modern era. You can feed your hunger for knowledge across science, technology, history, nature, and art with access to to the service’s vast library of thousands of world-class films, series, and more featuring experts like David Attenborough, Michio Kaku, and Brian Greene teaching you about the natural world, space, and our future. Travel the globe and across time from the comfort of your couch.
What’s on It?
I’d recommend David Attenborough’s Light on Earth. This BAFTA TV Award-nominated documentary uncovers the mystery of animals that produce light on their own through bioluminescence — guided by none other than Sir David Attenborough. Explore the world of fireflies, oceanlife, mushrooms and more lifeforms of the like that live all around the world.
To prove Curiosity Stream is the real deal, they’ve won an Emmy! Stephen Hawking’s Favorite Places follows Professor Hawking exploring the cosmos aboard the CGI S.S. Hawking to teach audiences about the magnificent and expansive universe he’s devoted his life to. The series was awarded the News & Documentary Emmy Award for Outstanding Graphic Design & Art Direction.
As far as the app goes, you’ll have access to 1080p HD documentaries and series on multiple devices, and you can even download content for later offline viewing. This is a terrific option for when traveling on a long flight with no free internet access.
And to reiterate, this subscription plan is for a lifetime. Most streaming services operate on a monthly basis. $10 a month may not seem like a lot, but after a year and a half, you’ll have spent $180. This deal offered by StackSocial is only $160 (a 60% discount from its listed price) and that will get you way more watch time than a measly year and a half. You’ll have access until the day that you die.
