Peacock TV is NBC’s play to take on the dominance of Netflix. And now, you can download a free app and binge out watching on your mobile device.
There’s a ton of content to view for free. Or upgrade and get even more premium content thrown in.
However, if you think it will be the same old free content as everywhere else, you would be wrong. You can stream current hit shows, hundreds of films, thousands of TV series episodes, and exclusive original content. Plus, there’s breaking news, live sports, pop culture, and all your top favorites, including the entire box set of The Office.
