If you weren’t fortunate enough to have a good enough income in the “before times” to subscribe to HBO or have a friend or loved one that was nice enough to share their password, HBO is providing relief to those going stir crazy while observing sheltering at home and social distancing.

Via HBO Now and HBO Go, you’ll indeed be able to binge watch all the episodes of some of their best shows in recent memory Veep, Silicon Valley, Barry, and Succession (amongst a bunch of other perennial award winning drama series and HBO docs and even movie titles) without any sort of HBO subscription of any kind.

Best of all, this pay-wall-less access to hundreds hours of previously exclusive content starts tomorrow, April 3rd.

‘The Larry Sanders Show’ Coming to HBO Go and HBO Now in September

You’ve got a month to get HBO GO or an HBO subscription that would get you HBO Now so you can revel in the wonderment of The Larry Sanders Show. It’s probably the pinnacle of Garry Shandling’s comedy legacy and it’d be a shame if you didn’t have access to it.

Many a friend, family member, etc. has begged other friends and family members for their HBO GO password over the last couple of years as HBO currently doesn’t not offer HBO GO by itself. In order to watch as much Veep, Girls, Silicon Valley, and, very soon, The Comeback whenever one pleased, one had to have an HBO subscription.

Well, that’s all changing as, sometime in 2015, HBO has just announced that they will indeed have that stand alone service that will go toe-to-toe with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and more.

With a veritable stand alone HBO GO, we’re not sure how anyone is going to get anything done anymore other than the people that make those shows.

The online streaming giant Netflix has been making a lot of waves over the last couple of years with their entrance into producing their own content. In fact, after resurrecting Arrested Development, Orange Is The New Black, and more, Netflix has just, in this past quarter, surpassed HBO in subscriber revenue.

While that doesn’t exactly mean that Netflix has grown bigger than HBO, which has more of an established brand, more original content, and, overall, more accolades and money coming in, it certainly does mean that Netflix (and online streaming in general) is absolutely headed in that direction.

Maybe, a stand alone HBO GO will be up for subscription in the not so distant future and we can all watch Silicon Valley, Veep, and Girls without using our friends and loved ones’ passwords.

HBO Go Launches on PlayStation 3

Hopefully, none of you chucked your PS3 for PS4’s too quickly as HBO GO is now available via your PS3. You can watch your favorite HBO comedies such as GIrls or Veep via your gaming console of probably the last few years.

Don’t get too excited though as you can’t just sign up for HBO Go on your PS3 without a subscription just yet because, well, actually, we don’t really know.
