Shows To Watch On HBO Now

The arrival of HBO Now service has changed the movie-watching habits of consumers as they are able to watch shows and movies without relying on a cable subscription. With the deal between Apple and HBO to air the “Game of Thrones” exclusively on Apple devices, iTunes users have a better selection of shows and movies they intend to watch.

Aside from the “Game of Thrones,” “Girls, and “Silicon Valley,” HBO Now is set to offer a number of movies that will likely be appealing to users of the service. The $15 monthly subscription of the service provides subscribers access to sports, documentaries and movies.

Spike Lee’s "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth" is one of the documentaries set to be offered through the service. In the show, the former world heavyweight champion talks about his life in front of a live audience. Adding strength to the lineup of the service is "Living in the Material World," a two-part documentary about the life of George Harrison.

On the other hand, iTunes is also offering movies that will arrive on the same day they will hit the big screen. "I am Big Bird" is a notable documentary that tells the story of Caroll Spinney, the man behind Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird. "Welcome to Me" is another notable movie starring Kristen Wiig. The movie shows how a lottery winner decided to buy her own talk show.

On May 1, a number of shows will start airing on HBO Now including various episodes of HBO Comedy Half-Hour, Night at the Museum, Little Shop of Horrors, Young Frankenstein and a number of episodes of One Night Stand.

On May 3, Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck will be shown on the recently-launched service of HBO.
