123Movies was a popular streaming platform for watching movies and TV shows for free, but it was shut down in 2018 due to legal concerns surrounding piracy and copyright violations. Since then, many copycat or clone websites have emerged using similar names, but these are often unreliable and pose risks such as malware, intrusive ads, or legal consequences for users. It’s generally safer to opt for legal streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime Video.
