The newest challenger has entered into the ever-evolving streaming wars, and this one is easily the strangest venture yet. Quibi, which is short for Quick Bites, launched its mobile-only service on Monday, giving TV fans more bite-sized content than they ever asked for. The hook of the entire service is that all of its TV shows and movies are broken up into small sections (only 5-10 minutes each), and can only be viewed on a mobile device. It’s pretty terrible timing for a service designed for people on-the-go happened to launch in the middle of a global pandemic that is keeping everyone in their homes.

Regardless of the actual purpose of Quibi, it has people interested on its launch day, if for no other reason than it’s the newest streaming service on the market. Plus, it’s got a ton of high-profile stars attached to its original programs, and it offers a massive 90-day free trial. It’s at least worth checking out, even if the reason is simply because you’re bored at home.
So what exactly is on Quibi? Glad you asked! Quibi has three main types of content: Reality TV, daily news shows, and “Movies in Chapters”. That last portion is the one that has people the most interested, and it’s undoubtedly the hardest to translate into Quibi’s format. Movies in Chapters are exactly what they claim to be, to the point of incredible frustration.
New episodes and chapters will be added to Quibi each and every day, but if you’re looking for all of the content currently streaming on the service, we’ve got you covered. Here is the complete launch day roster of Quibi’s reality shows and Movies in Chapters:
