NEW YORK: HBO posted the first episodes of its two newest comedy series on Facebook on Thursday Marlos Moreno Colombia Jersey , turning the social networking site into a new platform for TV viewing.
"Ballers" and "The Brink" will be available on Facebook "for a limited time" for free, the pay television giant said in a statement.
The episodes can also be seen on HBO NOW and HBO GO, two streaming services that give the channel's fans an alternative to subscription cable options.
"Ballers" stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a retired American football superstar reinventing his life in Florida. "The Brink", starring Jack Black and Tim Robbins Juan Guillermo Cuadrado Colombia Jersey , is billed by HBO as an "epic dark comedy" with a plot that hinges on a geopolitical crisis in Pakistan.
When a documentary opened on the deep sea divers who retrieved around 300 bodies, mostly schoolchildren, from a South Korean ferry disaster, tickets sold out -- but it played to half-empty cinemas.
There was no indication at the time Jeison Murillo Colombia Jersey , but "Diving Bell" -- about the controversial 2014 sinking of the Sewol -- was a victim of the sprawling South Korean corruption and power abuse scandal that has brought millions of people onto the streets and seen President Park Geun-Hye impeached.
The film's distributor Kim Il-Kwon was one of thousands of artists secretly blacklisted by the conservative government for voicing "left-wing" thoughts -- meaning criticism of the authorities.
"I was so surprised" by the vacant seats, he told AFP. "The movie was the talk of the town and many people had showed interest before its release."
The explanation emerged last month, when former culture minister Cho Yoon-Sun was arrested over accusations including ordering bulk ticket purchases in a bid to prevent the public seeing "Diving Bell".
The government blacklist was aimed at starving artists of official subsidies and private funding and placing them under state surveillance, according to prosecutors probing the wider scandal.
Its existence has sent shivers across the country's filmmakers James Rodriguez Colombia Jersey , who say it took a devastating toll on the freedom of expression that helped transform what was once an army-ruled backwater into a celebrated cultural powerhouse.
South Korea is now democratic but many describe the cultural landscape under Park as reminiscent of the 1961-79 reign of her own father, the late dictator Park Chung-Hee, who imposed ruthless censorship on the arts.
South Korea's vibrant entertainment industry has since taken Asia by storm, with its TV dramas Guillermo Celis Colombia Jersey , films and stars enjoying avid followings in the past decade, and its Busan film festival hailed as Asia's top cinematic event.
Former minister Cho and Park's powerful ex-chief of staff Kim Ki-Choon were both indicted for abuse of power and coercion over the blacklist on Tuesday, along with two of the impeached president's former aides.
- 'Truly frightening' -
The list of nearly 10,000 artists in film Fredy Guarin Colombia Jersey , theatre, dance, music, fine arts and literature reads like a Who's Who of Seoul's art scene.
They include novelist Han Kang Frank Fabra Colombia Jersey , winner of the 2016 Man Booker International Prize, and film director Park Chan-Wook, whose "Oldboy" took the Grand Prix at Cannes in 2004.
Many had voiced support for opposition parties, or criticised Park Felipe Aguilar Colombia Jersey , such as over the botched Sewol rescue efforts -- and some simply expressed support for the victims' families.
State backing for Kim's niche distribution firm, Cinema Dal, ended after "Diving Bell", he said Farid Diaz Colombia Jersey , and he had had to let three of his seven staff go.
"Officials told me directly that there would be no government support once I distribute 'Diving Bell'," Kim said.
Some employees discovered that their phone records had been tapped by police and intelligence authorities, he added.
"I've been in this business for over two decades but never seen anything like this," said Kim. "It's truly frightening."
The Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) -- Asia's biggest movie event -- screened "Diving Bell" in 2014 Edwin Cardona Colombia Jersey , and ha.
