HBO makes some top shows, movies and documentaries free to stream on HBO NOW and HBO GO
Giving people even more of a reason to stay home and follow the social distancing measures designed to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the U.S., HBO said it would be making 500 hours of programming free to stream over HBO NOW and HBO GO without a subscription, starting Friday, April 3.
Shows that audiences can stream include some of the best television shows ever made, like "The Sopranos" and "The Wire," and other very good HBO shows like "Veep" and "Six Feet Under."
Movie titles like "Poki(C)mon Detective Pikachu", "Crazy, Stupid, Love" and back catalog gems like (one of my favorite movies of all-time) "Empire of the Sun" join docuseries including "McMillion$" and "The Case Against Adnan Syed" as free-to-stream offerings as well.
Viewers who want to watch what is inarguably the best show ever made (it's "The Wire") can download the HBO NOW or HBO GO apps or visit HBONOW.com or HBOGO.com.
The network's distribution partners will also make the shows available to stream for free in the coming days, the company said. This offer marks the first time that HBO has made this amount of programming available for free outside of the paywall on either of its apps, the company said.
