Stremio with torrentio plug-in, almost as easy as Netflix, much broader catalog

Broad catelog, but lacking in seeds for older episodes. Try watching Simpsons S04, E08 as an example. I can guarantee there will be no active seeds. It's good for recently released content however, but will never be as good as legit services.

Try watching Simpsons on Netflix.

I can see it easily, lots of seeds too. Usually if it's on a streaming platform, it's also available as a torrent, especially if it's as popular as the Simpsons.

Less popular shows, especially in languages other than English, may be harder to watch, but then again, it's free, so it's a price I'm willing to pay.

For instance I couldn't find any torrents for Tattooed teenage alien fighters from Beverly hills . I can live with that. Also, I'm sure it's not on Netflix either

Do you have a debrid account for links?

That's not free, and close to the cost of Netflix.

Netflix costs $17 for 6 months? Certainly not in the US.
