picture blacks in and out

While watching some shows, My screen will black out and come right back on, continuously. At the Rate of about every 1 or 2 seconds. I've only noticed this on Peacock and on Amazon Prime video, and not all shows. Most shows will play just fine, other shows I can't play at all because of this issue. I've never had a problem on another streaming service except these two, and I've had most of them at one time or another. Internet is great, 55 mbps, everything up to date as far as drivers and such. It's probably worth noting it seems to happen on newer shows...  I can't watch Reacher, I can't watch Twisted Metal, but I can watch suits, or Yellowstone, just for example. Any body know what t he deal might be?
