Whether you've been stealthily following Oscar Isaac for years, or if he has just come to your attention as Poe Dameron in Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens, it is undoubtedly Isaac's time right now.

From co-creator of The Wire, David Simon, and featuring a star-studded cast alongside Oscar Isaac, including Winona Ryder, Catherine Keener, and Jim Belushi, Show Me A Hero is based on real-life events regarding a public housing site in Yonkers, New York, and the opposition the development faced from the existing neighborhood, which was predominantly middle-class and white. Adapted from the book by former New York Times journalist Lisa Belkin, Show Me A Hero initially aired on HBO, starting August 2015. But where is it available to watch now?
Relax, my fellow Oscar Isaac lovers: Show Me A Hero is on HBO NOW and HBO GO right now. As the series was commissioned by HBO, and was one of 2015's most acclaimed dramas made by HBO, it certainly makes subscribing tempting.

As Poe Dameron, Oscar Isaac seems to have captured the hearts of people everywhere, and it's about time he got the recognition he's been working so hard for over the past few years.
