We live in a crazy world. The politics are maddening. The news is depressing. But John Oliver makes it easier to stomach with Last Week Tonight, his informative and hilarious commentary on world events.
In these strange times, Last Week Tonight is essential viewing. And sure, you could try to subsist on the YouTube clips that go viral once every few months. But there's a better way to get your John Oliver fix. Read on for every (legal) way to get the latest full episodes of everyone's favourite shouty British man.
Binge
Australia's newest streaming service Binge hit our small, medium and large screens in March 2020 serving up big entertainment at a low cost.
Season eight episodes of Last Week Tonight are currently airing on the platform weekly, while season six and seven are available in full. Binge is the cheapest way to check out these latest seasons with prices starting at just $10 per month.

Foxtel Now
Foxtel Now - Foxtel's revamped streaming service - is another way to keep up with new episodes of Last Week Tonight as they air. You can get the show as part of the basic Foxtel Now starter pack which costs $25 per month, with no lock-in contract.
Foxtel Now currently has limited episodes of season seven available, as well as limited episodes of the new season eight, which appear to be being released on the platform at a delay compared to the broadcast on Foxtel proper.
Foxtel Now comes with a 10-day free trial for new customers and is available on iOS, Android, PlayStation 4, Google Chrome on Windows and Mac, Telstra TV, and Google Chromecast. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox One run the older Foxtel Play app, which can access the same content, but won't play shows in high definition.
Foxtel
If streaming doesn't sound like your scene, you can go the whole nine yards and take out a proper Foxtel subscription. To watch Last Week Tonight you can sign up to Foxtel Plus for $49 per month. You can choose a 12-month contract or no lock-in contract, but you'll pay set-up costs for the latter - $150 iQ4 box fee, $35 standard connection & $100 professional install fee.
The Foxtel Plus channel pack also comes with additional Foxtel bundles such as the Movies HD bundle ($59 per month), Sports HD & Netflix bundle ($69 per month) and others.
Foxtel services can also be bundled with broadband from Foxtel or Telstra.
iTunes, Google Play or YouTube
If you want to catch up on earlier episodes of Last Week Tonight you can buy and download individual episodes and full seasons from iTunes, Google Play and YouTube. But note that not all seasons and episodes are currently available from these services.
Individual episodes typically cost $2.99 each in SD or $3.99 in HD. Full seasons typically cost $29.99 in SD or $34.99 in HD.
