Notice:

• To run tests use: php artisan test, Tests will run on memory using SQLITE.
• I chose to create one model Called Title instead of movies or series, the Title records an enum column called type that contains the type of the title either movie or serie.
• I used Laravel Sanctum for authenfication as it offers a simple way to authenticate.
