Video entertainment during shutdown


FREE Video Entertainment

HBO
To provide some entertainment relief for those doing their part to keep everyone safe and healthy in this time of social isolation, HBO is making almost 500 hours of top programming available to stream for free for a limited time on HBO NOW and HBO GO–without a subscription–starting Friday, April 3, 2020. The list of free programming includes every episode of nine iconic HBO series such as The Sopranos, Veep, Six Feet Under and The Wire; major Warner Bros. blockbusters from HBO’s current catalog like Pokémon Detective Pikachu, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part and Crazy, Stupid, Love; and 10 riveting HBO documentaries and docu-series including McMillion$ and The Case Against Adnan Syed.

All of the programming will be available to stream without a subscription through the end of April by downloading the HBO NOW or HBO GO apps, or by visiting HBONOW.com or HBOGO.com.

This is a great opportunity for us to finally see the Season 6 finale of The Sopranos. Plus there's lots of other great titles to watch. Last night we saw "Blinded By The Light". Excellent.

Note that the freebie shows are those in the top row, and scroll across to view more titles.
