Here's a list of video streaming sites that are free to use in Finland. No need to pay for the mostly b-quality content of Netflix!

Yle Areena - https://areena.yle.fi - ★★★★★

The number one streaming site in Finland. A really good selection of series, documentaries and movies. The selection is constantly changing and some movies are up only for a limited time. A portion of the content is also viewable from abroad.

The best things about it: there are no advertisements! You also do not need a login for this site.

This site is run by the Finnish public broadcasting company Yle and paid for by taxes. The interface seems to be only in Finnish.

Recommended watching on Yle Areena right now: This boy's life, The Eichmann show, Movies by Seijun Suzuki, Movies by Krzysztof Kieslowski, Movies by Ingmar Bergman, Movies by Aki Kaurismäki

MTV Katsomo - https://www.katsomo.fi/ - ★★★☆☆

A ton of brain-numbing reality series. There's just a couple of movies. There are advertisements, and they are quite annoying. A login is needed, but the registration is free. Some of the content is not actually available for watching but is coming in the future.

Recommended watching on Katsomo right now: Pulp Fiction, Halloween

Ruutu - https://www.ruutu.fi - ★★☆☆☆

FOXplay - https://www.foxplay.fi/ - ★★☆☆☆
