I'm getting an android tablet soon (will be a present and a little birdie told it to me). Nothing fancy, just some mid-range 10 inch one with basic features. I'm planning to mainly use it for comic books, but while I'm at it might as well watch movies on it.

So my question is: any good setup/apps/guides for movie streaming or downloading I should know about? I don't have a home server, or anything, usually just torrent what I want on my desktop PC and watch it there, but I have zero experience with pirating movies on android.

I will definitely not use the tablet for social media, google services, etc so I can do with it whatever I want, it's purely for comics/ebooks/movies.

If you don't wanna faff about on a PC to obtain movies/TV shows, Stremio (+Torrentio addon and a Real-Debrid subcription) is probably the smoothest piracy experience you could get on a tablet.

If you're fine with doing it manually, you could just install Libretorrent to download stuff and VLC to play the files.
