18. After Game of Thrones and Westworld

Tue Jan 31, 2017, 12:37 PM

Jan 2017

I really don't see the point for $15/mo. I did the HBO Now (first month free) during the last Game of Thrones season and binge watched the older Game of Thrones with my wife (she had not seen them earlier). I promptly dropped at the end of the season.

I tried a week of Sling with everything for free, and I binge watched Westworld (great series). After that I found the offerings at Cinemax more compelling. The cost was insane though so I dropped after the free trial.

My recommendation is to do the free samples. Hulu wanted me to rejoin so I gladly took a month free from them. I had wanted to watch 11-22-63 so it was a good opportunity. After that not much since the catalog overlaps much with Amazon Prime.
