That’s up 2.5% since the research firm’s May 2018 report on the streaming sector.Netflix has a two-point edge over its next-closest competitor, HBO Now, which rose 2.6% over the same time period to 79. Amazon Prime Video notched a 76 score (up 4%), while Hulu gained a point to 75. CBS All Access fell, from 76 to 75, while YouTube’s originals held steady with a score of 72, per the ASCI.Of course, what Netflix giveth, Netflix taketh away. As with other services and TV networks, Netflix’s content lineup changes all the time. Fans of Netflix’s Marvel street-hero shows have been upset that the series are officially ending, with “The Punisher” and “Jessica Jones” the final two to get canceled — prompting a denunciation from “Punisher” fanboy Eminem in a tweet Wednesday. The end of Netflix’s Marvel shows comes as Disney preps the launch of its own Disney+ streaming service in late 2019.
