Otherwise, the ad experience varied depending on the show and device. I don't love ads who does? Navigating through Peacock's homepage Browse section is similar to other streaming services. Peacock does have a Kids page with a couple of popular shows like Curious George and, on premium, Dragons: Riders of Berk, but the catalog is definitely more adult-focused -- you can't compare its kids' offerings to those of Disney Plus or HBO Max.
You can set parental controls and create a PIN to keep kids from watching anything over the rating of your choosing, though. Premium shows are mixed in with free offerings, denoted by a little purple feather in the top left corner. It reminds me a bit of Amazon Prime Video, which has shows included in your subscription mixed in with those you have to pay extra for.
The app isn't forceful in trying to get you to upgrade, though: You'll only be asked if you want to change to premium if you click on a premium-only show, or if you go to your Account page. You can stream on up to three devices simultaneously from one account.

On the premium tier, you'll get every NBC show the next day. One interesting perk for premium subscribers: Once Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon return to in-studio production, you'll be able to watch them before they air, at 8 p.
ET, instead of waiting until p. The catalog is far from complete, however. At this point, none have become must-watch hits, like The Mandalorian on Disney Plus.
In the Movies category, you'll find hundreds of titles, but relatively few from the past decade. Think Alfred Hitchcock rather than Bong Joon-ho. In the Rotten Tomatoes Approved belt, you'll find about 20 movies, but only a few from the past few years including 's John Wick 2. It would've been much more simple if that was all the recording contained, but it also involved newly hired "Today" show cohost and NBC's rising star Billy Bush as Trump's wingman.
