Acorn TV Review

Acorn TV is a streaming service that houses British dramas, comedies, mysteries, and documentaries. And you can access all of its titles for $7 per month.

If you like murder mysteries, make yourself a cup of tea and throw on Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. Or discover something new and original among its 300+ shows and movies—all housed in its regularly updated library.

Let’s get into the pricing details, how to order Acorn TV, and the content you can expect to stream on a Friday night.

Acorn TV costs $7 per month, and there are four ways to get this service:

• Order the app by itself through your streaming device
• Order as an add-on with your Amazon Prime Video, Sling TV, or YouTube TV subscription

If you’re not interested in subscribing to a streaming service, you can download and subscribe to Acorn TV on your streaming device for $7 per month or $70 annually.

If you’d like to have all of your entertainment in one place, you can add Acorn TV to your Amazon Prime Video, Sling TV, or YouTube TV subscription for the same price.

Amazon Prime Video is an on-demand streaming service with great originals, like Jack Ryan and The Terminal List. If you get the $15 plan, you can reap the benefits of speedy Prime shipping.

Sling TV is the most inexpensive live TV streaming service and has the most add-on options in the TV industry. YouTube TV is one of the best live TV streaming services with 100 popular channels, including sports, kids, and lifestyle, for $73 per month.

You won’t get any rubbish as many Acorn TV titles are rated highly. And you know a big reason you love British content is that you can’t get enough of the British accent and slang.

Acorn TV’s series are quality with great acting, proper production, and excellent picture quality. Think, Bridgerton mixed with Robert Downy Jr.’s Sherlock Holmes.

Also, British humour is funny. Like, a funny you can’t find anywhere else. (If you’ve seen The Great British Baking Show, you know what I’m talking about.)

So why not mix it with some mystery and watch The Chelsea Detective? Or the quirky, hilarious relationship between a duo working to uncover a conspiracy in Cannes Confidential.

The following are a few movies and series you’ll find in your Acorn TV streaming library:

If you want to save $1 per month, 300 titles is plenty to sift through, and if you'd like mostly British content but don’t mind a sliver of content from other countries, you’ll like Acorn TV.

If you’re willing to spend $8 per month for at least 200 more titles and are strictly looking for British content only, BritBox is the winner.

But if you’d like no limitations, you can get both services for the price of a box of shortbread cookies. And both have very different programming, so you will find little overlap or repetition.

Acorn TV might catch your attention more if you like a wide variety. This streaming service sprinkles shows from Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Canada in its library.

If you’re a fan of that treasured British comedy, a good amount of those 200 extra titles Britbox owns are filled with humour.

You can’t get Acorn TV for free with Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, or any other streaming service.

Acorn TV costs $7 per month on its standalone app and through streaming services Amazon Prime Video, Sling TV, and YouTube TV.

You can’t get Acorn TV on Netflix. Acorn TV is only available as an add-on with Amazon Prime Video, Sling TV, or YouTube TV.

You can download the Acorn TV app from the Roku Channel Store and subscribe for $7 to the service.

Or you can stream Acorn TV on your Roku device through your Amazon Prime Video, Sling TV, or YouTube TV app. Get Acorn TV as an add-on with either streaming service for $7 per month.

Acorn TV is worth it if you want to stream British TV comedies, mysteries, dramas, and documentaries you can't find anywhere else for less than a takeout meal.

You can order Acorn TV for $7 through its standalone app or add it to your Amazon Prime Video, Sling TV, or YouTube TV subscription to keep all your entertainment in one place for the same price.

If you find yourself hooked on Midsomer Murders and are already anticipating season 24, you can order an annual membership of Acorn TV for $70 (but only through its standalone app).

Happy Streaming!
