Sure, Lifetime Movies may be a spin-off, but let’s be real here: The student has long since become the master. The original movies are the best thing about Lifetime. There’s a reason why Lifetime’s movies have inspired an enduring, only slightly ironic cult: They’re frequently low-budget masterpieces of hilarious excess. They’re a glimpse into an alternate universe where murder, infidelity, and identity-stealing are only slightly less common than, say, losing your keys. And on Lifetime Movies, you can enjoy an all-you-can-eat-buffet of these guilty pleasures—movies with titles like From Straight As to XXX and You May Kill the Bride. Sure, there’s other programming, from The Closer to Wife Swap to Escaping Polygamy, but the movies are where it’s at.
Whether you’re a devotee to the cult of Lifetime original movies or simply a convert-in-waiting, a live TV streaming subscription will let you enjoy the network without a cable subscription.
