1. War Of The Worlds (EPIX)
2. Berlin Station (EPIX)
3. Deep State (EPIX)

War of the worlds on Epix is completely different then the HG Wells version. Some may hate it but it's shot in some nice locations.

Berlin Station & Deep State are spy thrillers, I'm kinda of a sucker for these so I'm bias.

PS: You get full access to Epix from AppleTV if you already have it setup.

Sigh...That is not "premium"....please only post premium commercial free shows that can be watched during this time.


Ok, now I'm confused. EPIX is not free. Getting it by paying for another service doesn't make it free.

I don't know of any legal free non-ad supported services that stream premium content. If any are out there I'd love to hear about them.

Epix is totally free until May 2.

HBO also has free content...not everything but some shows. https://lifehacker.com/you-can-watch-a-ton-of-hbo-shows-for-free-right-now-1842679805

Showtime may also have some content for free.

AppleTV has some free content as well. (And also access to the Epix channel built-in)

I'm watching The Sopranos on Prime Video.
The HBO Now app doesn't keep any state, if you don't have a logged in account. So it won't pick up an episode where you left off, or even show which episodes have already been viewed.

I quickly glanced at the show in Apple's TV app, and it seemed like it was a cropped/letterboxed version that chops off the tops and bottoms of the full frame. I didn't watch long enough to know this for a fact, but it was enough that I quickly retreated to Prime Video.

You can sign in to Apple TV for FREE. Just get an Apple ID (and activate it with itunes). Then Watch some AppleTV shows for FREE and also access EPIX and some HBO shows.

Can also access offers directly through Roku as well. No sign up required. Just search a show above and it will do the rest.

For All Mankind on Apple TV is pretty good if you're looking for free content to watch. So is Succession and Silicon Valley on HBO.

HBO is sneaky, though... they're really trying to convince you go get a subscription to watch Westworld, which is still paywalled.
