It is truly a beautiful time to be alive. We don't have to worry about how we are going to keep ourselves entertained. If you are ever bored, no problem, just log into your favorite movie and TV series streaming site and sit back for hours and hours of nonstop enjoyment. The 21st century is, by far, the best century we could have asked to be born into. Bar none. Can you even imagine how people used to occupy their time back in, I don't know, the Victorian era? What were you supposed to do for fun back then? Make a candle?
There are so many movies and TV shows to choose from today, it can be a little overwhelming. Not to mention time-consuming to try and preview each one and figure out which streaming service(s) will be right for you. Sure, you do not have to pick just one. However, when it comes to big-name streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video, having access to several can become pretty costly very quickly.
Each streaming site and app has its own individual monthly price tag. For each one separately, it doesn't seem like much, but once you subscribe to a few of them, well, you could find yourself paying upwards of $50, $60, even over $100 a month to meet your streaming needs. But how is one to decide on an affordable number of streaming services? Each one, too, has its own inherent strengths and weaknesses.
For example, Netflix is an invaluable source of original stand-up comedy specials. Maybe you have heard the joke about how soon enough Netflix is going to give an hour-long special to every single comic in the industry based on just how much stand-up material they put out. It's just a matter of time. Nevertheless, if you are a lover of stand-up comedy, Netflix is definitely a good option - that being said, it's not the greatest, in my opinion, when it comes to interface and user features. So, that's something you would have to reconcile before deciding if Netflix (the king of streaming) is right for you.
Then there is always Amazon Prime Video, which is the service you want if you love critically acclaimed films and drama series, such as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel or The Man in the High Castle. Plus, Amazon is great for those of us who want to easily be able to add premium channels (for an added fee, of course) to the Amazon interface. In addition to Amazon's original and syndicated content, then, you will also be able to watch HBO or Showtime material. However, Amazon's buffering speeds and video quality are both poor - so that's another plus and another minus.
Finally, we have Hulu - the streaming service that is perfect for those who are not entirely ready to cut the cord with traditional cable. They offer a live TV option (again, for an additional charge), and they are one of the few streaming services that offer plenty of current TV episodes - you just have to wait 24 hours after they've aired to access them. However, with Hulu you have to put up with some annoying interface issues as well.
No streaming service is perfect. And, even the mainstream ones can be expensive and difficult to switch to when they're not working for you. Plus, if you don't have a lot of money to spend on streaming services, you might find yourself stuck without one or with few choices.
So if you want to watch your latest Netflix original series or a movie from Amazon Prime, but don?t want to spend money, there are plenty of free sources for you to explore.
There are actually quite a few sources out there for people who want to be able to watch whatever they are in the mood for but cannot afford the cost often associated with that ability. So if you want to watch your latest Netflix original series or a movie from Amazon Prime without spending money, there are plenty of free sources for you to explore.
Unfortunately, though, finding a quality, dependable and safe free movie and TV streaming site can be more of a difficult endeavor than one might think. Quality is not exactly the word that I would use to describe a great deal of free streaming sites on the web. Many of them, in fact, are not truly free nor do some of them actually let you stream anything at all. Finding a solid one usually requires a hefty amount of research and trial and error. Luckily for you, though, I have done all of the heavy liftings on this end so that you don't have to - and I am more than happy to only bring you the best of the best when it comes to free streaming sites.
Many of these sites are filled with ads, which makes them difficult to enjoy. They can also be full of viruses and Trojans that could infect your computer. It's best to do some research before choosing a free movie and TV streaming site on your own.
I highly recommend using a Virtual Private Network to protect your information from hackers. I also recommend grabbing a good ad blocker and antivirus software. The site we will be looking at today, though, has already been vetted by me - so, no need to worry. Let's take a look at Stream Likers, shall we?
Design
Upon landing on the Stream Likers home page, I must say, I am immediately impressed. The site is sleekly designed and easy to use. I enjoy the vintage feel of the lime green logo against a white background. There is a great deal of negative space on this site, which I believe lends it a pretty professional look. Other than a sparse site menu bar at the top of the page, which lets you browse by Movies, Most Viewed, Genres and Series, all you will find is a search bar. Simply type in the movie or show you are looking for and, voila, let Stream Likers find it for you.
Also, if you're interested in just browsing from a list (rather than searching by keyword), you can click on "use the old Stream Likers site" and watch it transform before your eyes.
Content
The downside to this site is that, well, it's not likely to have what you are looking for - at least if you are not looking for an extremely popular movie or show that has come out in the last few years. I conducted a quick search for Schitt's Creek, for instance, and was surprised to find that, even though this show is very well known and mainstream, the site did not have a single episode.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that the selection isn't ideal. There are a lot of other free streaming sites out there that dwarf StreamLiker. That being said, I get the impression that this site is a newer one - so, perhaps it's just a matter of time before their library grows and evolves.
Mobile and Desktop Experience
Unfortunately, the site does not have an app. However, the mobile experience is decent. The site is completely optimized for cell phones and tablets, so if you prefer to watch your movies on the go, you have nothing to worry about.
Suggestions that I have for Stream Likers
I'm hoping that this site will grow its library significantly in order for me to use it as my go-to free streaming search engine. At present, there are not nearly enough titles for the library to be extensive enough.
