Before online streaming revolutionized how we consumed entertainment, we had to aimlessly channel-surf to find something that piqued our interest–and we ended up discovering a gem we might not have watched otherwise! These five titles are exactly that. Now, you can watch them on-demand thanks to HBO Go, powered by PLDT Home.
The Wire

The Wire, set in Baltimore, Maryland, follows a team of cops and the criminals they’re after. The critically-acclaimed HBO Original explored the relationship between crime and law enforcement and even delved into local politics, media, and education. Learn why this show broke barriers and check out The Wire on HBO Go powered by PLDT Home.
Equilibrium

This sci-fi film is worth remembering for its creative choreography for gunplay. It introduced a combat style called “gun kata,” which combined firearms and martial arts. We stopped channel surfing after seeing the bad-ass gun battles from this movie. Stream Equilibrium on HBO Go powered by PLDT Home.
Six Feet Under

Before other HBO Original dramas like Succession and Big Love, there was Six Feet Under. This show followed the Fisher clan and their funeral services business. Aptly, the show revolved around death, delving deep into its philosophical and spiritual aspects, while also zeroing in on the characters’ personal lives. Check out Six Feet Under on HBO Go powered by PLDT Home.
Warm Bodies

In an era where Twilight got most of the hype, a lot of people missed out on this monster-meets- girl rom-com Starring Nicholas Hoult as a zombie named R, the parallels with Twilight are only surface level, as director Jonathan Levine was more inspired by Shakespeare for this one. Watch Warm Bodies on HBO Go powered by PLDT Home.
Pitch Black

Vin Diesel may be more synonymous with The Fast and the Furious franchise, but Pitch Black is one of his more stellar performances. Pitch Black is the first in the Chronicles of Riddick series of films and was well-loved by audiences thanks to its unique handling of horror and science fiction. Diesel plays the titular character–a convict with night vision who attempts to survive being stranded on an alien planet. Stream Pitch Black on HBO Go powered by PLDT Home.
