Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon are still readying their defenses against Disney+, HBO Max, Peacock, Apple TV+, Quibi, Gas Station TV, and Blerbo Max+ (we made that one up), but IMDb has just swung onto the scene like some guy in a pirate movie—and instead of a dagger in its mouth, it’s carrying the rights to stream Lost, Desperate Housewives, Malcolm In The Middle, My So-Called Life, and a few other very popular shows from a few years ago for free. IMDb TV (which, like most things is owned by Amazon) is a free service that is supported by ads, and while these aren’t the exclusive rights we’re talking about, a few of them—specifically Lost and Malcolm In The Middle—will only be available to stream for free on IMDb TV.
