Streaming seems to be everywhere and more now in the midst of the pandemic. And HBO is more than ready to remain a must-have for great programming and original content.
It is undoubted: streaming is the new world trend. You don't need anything other than your laptop, mobile phone or tablet to enjoy the best of the entertainment world. By contrast, the trusty old cable channels look like little short of antiques. But despite what you may believe, traditional television is still as alive as ever. Especially the series and movies from HBO, which continues to be the service provider with high-standard programming and also of great quality.
In recent months, HBO series and movies have focused on offering a new perspective on television as a means of discussing big issues. The channel is clear that beyond the novelty of online services, television still occupies an important viewer taste. It is this perception of television as a means of confrontation that makes HBO series and movies always worthy of debate.
March, in particular, will be a month with premieres that reflect on current affairs in a brilliant and innovative way. We leave you a selection of 6 series and HBO movies amid the wide variety of the channel:
The best HBO series and movies
Q: Into the Storm
If you were amazed by the conspiracy theories surrounding the US elections, this documentary is for you. Director Cullen Hoback carefully investigates everything related to QAnon and his influence on social media.
According to the official synopsis offered by HBO, the show is part of a three-year investigation into the organization. From the point of view of the observer and the record, Hoback attempts to analyze the phenomenon and explain its immediate consequences. In particular, the complicated and widespread disinformation campaign that surrounds the case.
Last chapter of 'Allen v Farrow'
The sexual abuse case involving director Woody Allen reached a new dimension with this 4-part documentary. The first three made it clear that there is still much to show about one of the murkiest legal disputes in the entertainment world.
The docuseries showcased new audiovisual material and allowed Dylan Farrow to finally tell his story. The result? A look at the version of the victim that until now, had been unpublished. The latest chapter is expected to show revealing footage from the day of the abuse and hitherto unpublished evidence on Allen's guilt.
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
If you want to find out all the news of world events and laugh the process, John Oliver is your ideal host. Especially now that he tries to show that the arrival of the series Emily In Paris made television "stay in white noise."
As if that weren't enough, Oliver keeps joking about how he prepares for "the next pandemic" and how he will deal with it. But between one joke and another, Oliver remains the best reference on the news and its implications.
'Beartown' season finale
The unexpected success of this Swedish series has made its final chapter a small event. The review on sport and how it can influence a community is a prodigy of good taste and storytelling ability. From the excesses to the dark spots of the athletes' relationship with the competition, the series is a potent revision of aspirational culture.
Tub
The adaptation of the book I, Tina, written by Kurt Loder and the singer, promises an emotional experience about the artist's life. Like last year's great documentaries celebrating Billie Holiday, 'Tina' hopes to bring a new dimension to Turner's life.
Signed by tragedies, mistreatment and ultimately a belated redemption, the singer has become a powerful symbol. The documentary promises to reveal a deeper look at an iconic woman who retains her importance intact.
Generation
In the same stark tone as Sam Levinson's Euphoria, Genera + ion (from its original name), is a display of clever plot devices. The series shows the generation that grew up educated on the internet, with their unprecedented sensitivity to sexual issues and the search for identity. But since not everything could be so academic, there are also amazing scenes, an ingenious look at the hypercommunicated world and some existentialist reflections. A mouthful of entertainment in its purest form.
