$40 would get you three or four full seasons of any individual show on Amazon, if you're lucky. There isn't anywhere that $40 would get you what you want. Disney+ is probably going to be the future, as much as I hate to say that. Edit: I pay for netflix, I pay for amazon prime, and I'm a member of a really good tv piracy site. My wife is happy with the TV access we have. My thing is video games so I don't actually care about TV.

Three or four seasons a month is probably about the equivalent total TV+film watching in our five-person household, combined. As in maybe 50ish hours of distinct content of that sort watched a month, not counting one thing multiple times if several of us are watching it. Since some of that's re-watches we wouldn't necessarily be paying for it every time, too. $40's just the point where I might bother to check that the streaming service made sense—probably I'd conclude that it still did, just for convenience (again, assuming it had most everything) but that if they hiked the price to $50 I'd need to look again. I'm fairly certain, without adding it all up, that at $60 we'd save money just buying/library-ing/redboxing, $40's just where I'd start to go "hm, better run the numbers" and there's a chance it'd work out against paying for streaming, so I'd call it a decent upper bound on what I'd probably be willing to pay for such a thing. Hell, I'm paying almost that now, but the fact that I can still only find maybe 1/3 of what I want to watch available on my three services is why Amazon's set not to renew next year and Netflix is on the chopping block soon (3rd service is a cheap, niche one with mostly anime, b-movies, and some original web animation stuff, sticking with it pretty much just because it's cheap).
