HBO’s I’ll Be Gone In The Dark to Spotlight Illinois Cold Case Murder
HBO has been pulling out all the stops in the past year or so.
From them launching HBO Max, then releasing brand new movies that are showing in theaters the same day on their new streaming service, it's been nothing but great stuff to watch while sitting at home.
Just adding the new movies has been good enough for me, but when you add in incredible HBO series' like the new Mare of Easttown, I'm all in on everything HBO puts out.
The same goes for I'll Be Gone In The Dark.
If you're not aware of the mini-series, you should check it out.
