About Fletch Lives

Fletch finds himself a fish out of water in small-town Louisiana after inheriting a tumbledown mansion. His initial plans to simply check out the property are derailed when a woman he's flirted with turns up dead. Suddenly, Fletch is the prime suspect in a murder investigation. To clear his name and avoid spending his days in jail, he must put his investigative skills to the test, uncover the real killer, and expose the dark secrets lurking beneath the surface of this seemingly quiet Southern town. Expect plenty of disguises, witty banter, and unexpected twists as Fletch tries to solve the case before it's too late.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.
