HBO Offers Free Streaming
Stuck at home due to the coronavirus quarantine? Run out of series to watch? HBO is now offering free streaming for their HBO Now and HBO Go, without subscription. According to Variety, this offer of free content starts on Friday, April 3.
What are some of the complete series available for free? The free HBO original series includes Veep, The Sopranos, Succession, Silicon Valley, Barry, Ballers, The Wire, Six Feet Under and True Blood.
In addition, the movies in the free offer includes McMillion$. Don’t forget the kid-friendly Pokémon Detective Pikachu and The Lego Movie 2. And for those who may have listened to the first season of the podcast Serial, they may want to watch The Case Against Adnan Syed. And for those who have not listened, they may decide to take a deep dive into this fascinating and complex murder.
But, if you never have seen Game of Thrones, or never got to see who wound up on the iron throne, you are out of luck. Such shows as GoT, Westworld, Euphoria, Big Little LIes and Chernobyl are only available to regular HBO subscribers. HBO is giving out weeks of endless content, but not their entire catalogue.
