HBO Now has announced its July lineup, and it is more important than ever for the streaming service to find a way to convince the viewers to stay home. Despite the fact that Netflix’s new series “Orange is the New Black” and “Glow” have received positive reviews from the audiences, HBO Now is trying its best to defeat the streaming giant with a range of blockbuster movies and television shows.
