For watching shows and movies, you can get tablets from any brand. There's no advantage to iPads.
Think about where your shows and movies are from. Are there apps for the shows?
For example, I buy my movies from Apple app store so I may prefer the iPad so that I have access to all the shows I bought in the past. But I can also access those shows from the Mac so I may not need to get an iPad.
If you don't have any brand preference, consider the 11-inch Xiaomi Pad 5, Samsung Tab S7 FE (12.4 inch), or the older Samsung Tab S7 tablets which are still very good be cheaper now as the Tab S8 tablets are out.
