As for movies, there will be ”Pokémon Detective Pikachu’, ‘The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part’ and ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’. You have the whole month to stream all of these for free, but unfortunately, they don’t include popular shows like ‘Game of Thrones’, ‘Westworld’ and ‘Chernobyl’.

This comes as quite a great news after the special reunion episode of ‘Friends’ had to be cancelled. After painstaking negotiations between the cast and the company finally reached a consensus, it had to be postponed, but check out this hilarious interview with Courteney Cox who reveals she doesn’t really remember what happened in ‘Friends’!
