Stremio w/plugins is what you want these days (start with Torrentio and Real-Debrid; plugins are installed from within the Stremio app).

Direct streams to your TV/phone/PC, no need to transfer files or mess with torrent clients (which means you don't need a VPN). Just press Play and enjoy.

It is also home theater friendly if you're into that. Supports all the major video and audio formats, including HDR and Dolby Atmos.

Edit: I'm confused by the downvote. To whoever did that: don't just hit and run; tell me why you downvoted. Do you know of a better, more convenient alternative to Stremio? I'd love to hear about it.
