HBO makes 'Random Acts of Flyness' sketch show free on YouTube
Are you stuck at home (ha) looking for something else to watch? Terence Nance and HBO have got you covered.
Starting on Friday, June 19 – Juneteenth – and running until Friday, June 26, anyone with access to a web browser and YouTube will be able to check out the first season of Nance's series, Random Acts of Flyness. It's a sketch series that's a frequently surreal mix of comedy, music, animation, and smart engagement with real world issues.
The six episodes from Season 1 have been helpfully bundled into the existing Flyness playlist on HBO's YouTube channel. Nance shared the news on Friday in an evening tweet featuring an explanatory statement.

"I feel like watching Random Acts will be useful now because it seems like everyday people ask me 'T, where is Season II at?' and I say 'outside,'" the statement reads. That, Nance explains, is why he asked for HBO to set Season 1 free on YouTube.
It's a short stretch of time until June 26, but there's more than enough for most of us to carve out time for six half-hour episodes. Just do one per day to get some education on the side with your entertainment.
Nance's statement concludes on a positive note: "I hope it can be part of the understanding, the reading, the feeling, the healing. I intend this on behalf of my ancestors, backward and forward in spacetime. Season II coming soon."
