With more than a billion people around the world in some sort of lockdown due to the coronavirus, there has been a massive demand in streaming services.
Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Apple, Foxtel, Stan, Showtime and many more have become everyone's best friend as they spend more time indoors.
They attract a nominal monthly fee, however one has broken ranks with the rest to offer its US customers some of its content for free.
HBO is opening up 500 hours' worth of TV shows, movies and documentaries to everyone around the globe for absolutely nothing.
