Subscribers can also personalize HBO GO through a custom “Watchlist” that keeps track of bookmarked content for later viewing and the “Series Pass®” capability, which automatically loads the Watchlist with new episodes of favorite HBO programs when they arrive on the service.  Additionally, HBO GO customers get new titles simultaneously with their premiere on the network; the ability to resume viewing from the Watchlist on any mobile device including the Kindle Fire; bonus content including interviews, recaps and behind-the-scenes extras; customizable views showing titles in slideshow, grid or list format; and the ability to pause, rewind and view at their convenience.
