Now is the time to get HBO NOW
If HBO NOW is something you only splurge on for a few months each year, now is the time to do that. Why? Because the service is releasing content left and right, which we are sure you will like, talk about with your peers and whatnot.
Also, now you can sign up directly for HBO NOW on their site using your credit card, so you don’t need to go through iTunes / Amazon or Roku unless you want to.
So, what’s new?
Leaving Neverland
Leaving Neverland is a two-part, four-hour, documentary featuring interviews with two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, that allege they were abused by Michael when they were children.
After the documentary aired, people have already started to question businesses that play his music, which Rolling Stone magazine says “will leave you shellshocked” and we fully understand why.
The Case Against Adnan Syed
If you have listened to the first season of what is probably the world’s most famous podcast, Serial, then you should know of Adnan Syed. The Case Against Adnan Syed is a four-part documentary series, which goes a bit into Serial territory but then picks up where Serial left off.
The series premiered on March 10th, and it will conclude on March 31st.
True Detective – Season 3
Season 1 of this show is by many considered to be the best TV crime drama in recent years. With season 2 disappointing some viewers because of the high standard set by its first season, season 3 has been well received by critics and viewers alike.
Season 3 takes place in the Ozarks over three separate time periods, where the disappearance of two children are being investigated. Mahershala Ali, whom you might know from Green Book and House of Cards, plays the lead role of detective Wayne Hays, with 90s ultimate B-star Stephen Dorff playing his partner detective Roland West.
As True Detective tends to be a bit slow-paced for one episode at a time, now is the perfect time to binge-watch season 3, as the finale aired on February 24th.
The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley
This is the latest film from acclaimed documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney, known for great films like Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (available on Tubi TV), Going Clear: Scientology & the Prison of Belief (available on HBO NOW) and Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine.
His latest film is about biotech startup Theranos, which was valued at $9b at its peak, and cause founder Elizabeth Holmes to be called “the next Steve Jobs”.
With exclusive, never-before-seen footage and testimony from key insiders, Gibney explains how Holmes set out to change the world, but wound up committing a massive medical fraud.
Game of Thrones
Last, but certainly not least, Game of Thrones. What is probably one of the most highly anticipated TV seasons of all time, season 8 of Game of Thrones returns on April 14. The final season will have 6 episodes, and four of those six episodes will have a runtime of roughly 80 minutes, so there’s plenty of
We’re excited to see the final season, but at the same time sad to see it end.
