It is beautiful to be alive in the 21st century. We never 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 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 the Victorian era? What were you supposed to do for fun back then?
Today, there are so many streaming services available that it can be difficult to decide which one to choose. There are so many movies and TV shows to choose from, and it can be time-consuming to preview each one and figure out which streaming service will be best for you. Sure, you don't have to pick just one. However, when it comes to popular big name streaming platforms, having access to several can become expensive very quickly.
Each streaming site and the app come with its own individual monthly price tag. A cost that for each one separately does not 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.
Netflix is a great source of original stand-up comedy specials. Many people have heard the joke about how soon Netflix will give an hour-long special to every comic in the industry based on how much stand-up material they produce. It's only a matter of time, so it's no surprise. Nonetheless, if you're a fan of stand-up comedy, Netflix isn't the best option when it comes to user interface and features. So, you would have to reconcile that before deciding if Netflix is right for you.
The Amazon Prime Video service is great for 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. However, Amazon's buffering speeds and video quality are both poor- so another downside.
Finally, we have Hulu - the streaming service for those who are not entirely ready to cut the cord with traditional cable. Not only do they offer a live TV option (for an additional steep charge), but 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. With Hulu, though, you have to put up with some annoying interface issues as well.
This means that no streaming service is perfect and that it can be expensive to access enough of them to get satisfaction. Plus, if like me you don't have a lot of money, you might find yourself at a loss.
Before you give up on streaming movies and TV shows, consider the abundance of free movie and TV streaming sites. Yeah, that's right: free. There are actually a lot of sources out there for people who want to be able to watch whatever they're in the mood for, but can't afford the cost often associated with that ability.
Unfortunately, though, finding a dependable, solid, and safe free movie and TV streaming site can be more difficult 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 liftingings 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 it difficult to browse. In addition, some of these sites contain viruses and trojans that can infect your computer. Therefore, it is important to be careful when looking for 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 there is no need to fret. Without further ado, let's take a look at Stream Likers, shall we?
Design
Upon landing on the Stream Likers website, 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 menu bar at the top of the page, which lets you browse by movies, most viewed, genres, or series and TV shows, 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.

Content
The downside to this site is that it is 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 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 am trying to say that the selection on this site is not ideal. There are many other free streaming sites that dwarf StreamLiker in terms of selection. That being said, I get the impression that this site is newer, so perhaps it will grow and improve over time.
Mobile and Desktop Experience
Unfortunately, as is often the case with free streaming sites, this one 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 will have no trouble using this site.
Suggestions that I have for Stream Likers
I am hoping that eventually the library will grow, but as it stands currently there are not nearly enough titles for this site to become my go-to free streaming search engine.
