HBO is giving us a few TV shows to add to our watch-list during the Coronavirus lockdown.
You may have your Netflix and Amazon Prime subscription on lock, or else, you have a friend's password, so it's all good. But the big question is, do you have HBO's streaming service? Certainly fewer and far between people do. HBO shows have a certain cache to them, and it goes without saying, that everything they release is on point. It also goes without saying that all the HBO shows will never be found on Netflix.
In our collective time of need though, HBO is giving us some good news: they will be giving over 500 hours of TV content for us to stream freely during the COVID-19 pandemic. We could all use some cheering up right now, whether that comes by way of Tony Soprano's mischievous smile or perhaps by way of Omar's gay, gun-toting antics, you'll be able to find your fix on HBO.
Starting on Friday, April 3, HBO will be making shows , Veep, Succession, Six Feet Under, True Blood, Silicon Valley and more free to stream the HBO Go app or HBO Now. For whatever reason, Game of Thrones is not included in this free-for-all. However, there will be 20 movies under HBO included in the free-to-stream package (Pokémon Detective Pikachu and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part” among them), as well as 10 of HBO documentaries, including the new McMillions.
You will be able to stream all these titles starting on April 3 by simply downloading the HBO Go or HBO Now apps, or heading to their desktop counterparts.
