Expert review
USA Network could be the perfect streaming service for you if you have a cable or satellite provider at home. It’s free through your provider, and the app gives you freedom to watch your favorite original content away from home.
But some of the newest shows and movies are not available to stream quickly, and you might find the library limited in its overall selection. Plus other streaming options out there require less commitment.
