Attention: you no longer have to lie, cheat and steal you way to watch Game of Thrones -- at least for a couple of days.
With shows like Veep, Silicon Valley and that tiny Game of Thrones program (that by no means am I obsessed with) coming back this weekend, HBO is giving non-subscribers the chance to watch the channel for free -- and legally, too!
For Saturday and Sunday, HBO will be available for anyone to try with their cable subscription. The move comes when service premieres some of its highest-rated shows and is set to air other big programs. It's also at a time when some of HBO's shows (ahem, Thrones) are the most illegally-downloaded content in the world.
Saturday features the television premiere of Jurassic World, followed by Beyoncé's Lemonade video/show/whatever it actually is and a boxing match between Gennady Golovkin and Dominic Wade.
Sunday brings us Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, Veep and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
In case you don't have cable or want to try HBO for longer than a weekend, the standalone streaming service HBO Now allows new subscribers a month-long free trial. After that it costs $15 a month. It's a little steep for streaming, but what's a few dollars more when there's a khaleesi to follow?
