The latest streaming service to arrive on the scene is none other than Quibi, which is targeted at younger millennials and Generation-Z. What sets it apart from other services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and the plethora of other choices is that Quibi's episodes are no longer than 10 minutes apiece. It's like a quick bite of content. Quick Bite. Quibi. It's all very clever.
Launching on April 6, there is a wide variety of programming ranging from scripted, unscripted, and more available on the service--all of which is original programming. There are also daily BBC news updates, which come in quite handy for anyone wanting some quick bites of news. If they're too quick for you, though, you can also get longer versions of all the stories presented on YouTube.
As far as must-see content goes, there is one show that stands above the rest, "Flipped." Starring Kaitlin Olson (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Will Forte (MacGruber, Last Man on Earth), the show follows an unemployed couple who believe they are home renovation experts, so they want to become TV's next celebrity house flipping duo. The characters are delightfully naive and delusional, but have some level of talent and passion to make this dream potentially come true. The show, three episodes in, is very much a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to make one of these home improvement shows, while also parodying them. Additionally, this show takes a very hard turn at the end of Episode 3 to become something entirely new. It's the only thing on Quibi, so far, that got audible laughter out of me.
