Streaming services win some years, and they lose some years. But how did major platforms like Amazon Freevee, Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, Max, Netflix, Paramount+, Peacock, Prime Video, and Showtime fare in 2023 specifically? Team Decider will be the judge of that!

You may recall our writers and editors assessed streaming rebrands, price increases, unexpected series cancellations, disappearing content, new series, existing libraries, and more key criteria needed to determine our personal winners and losers of 2023 back in July. But now that the year is nearly finished, we’re reevaluating our choices and taking 12(ish) months of streaming content and business decisions into consideration.

With the former WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes significantly impacting the television landscape, we understand that streamers had some added challenges in 2023. But looking back, it’s clear some platforms were still able to thrive — producing Emmy-worthy series and Oscar-worthy films — while others clearly faltered, inching closer to irrelevancy.

As the streaming wars wage on, here are Team Decider’s favorite (and least favorite) services of 2023. Plus, the verdict on each platform below and overall thoughts on the winners and losers.
