r/HBOMAX

A few years ago there were many shows as Max Originals, today just The Pitt, Hacks ending, and the coming Stuart Fails.... What happened to new Max originals shows? Was it the Zaslav's axe? Or the shows merged with main HBO?

Been scrolling through Max and honestly… there’s too much good stuff on there. Between all the new releases, the trailers dropping every five minutes, and everyone arguing about what to binge next, I’m stuck in choice paralysis.

So — what’s actually worth watching at the moment?

Looking for something properly bingeable. Drama, comedy, thriller, whatever — as long as it’s not one of those shows that starts strong and collapses by episode 4.

What’s your current must‑watch on Max?

I watched both of these shows, and I LOVED them! The thing is, I don't have netflix anymore, And I was looking for similar shows to watch... But they are all on netflix! If anybody has any suggestions for bingable shows like this with a dark side but also subtle comedy on HBO or Disney+, please share!

When I went to cancel my memberships, because it renews soon, and because I am not actively using Max, it offered me $20.00 off of my annual membership payment. However, does anyone know if you reject the $20.00 off an annual subscription, will it prompt a better discount offer? Additionally, is a come back offer ever sent out via email after cancelation?

I'm thinking about subscribing

Well I need to say…that this is one of the most dissatisfied and frustrated moments of my life in terms of watching a movie and have some great time on my brand new 4000 thousand euros laptop that I bought….

I did my research and found that HBOMAX have great quality content and movies but at the same time they are prohibiting their costumers to have access on them on high end laptops on 2026???is this serious or fun???
I am a sigle user ok probably nobody cares about…
But guess what….??
The winner of all this story is the mathematics..just simple math

I was ready to subscribe today for the 4K content with 15 euros and guess what??I didn’t…..and I will of course not subscribe not even in the next half a year at least with this behaviour….

HBOMAX just lost at least 180 euros per year from only a single customer….and it’s ok nobody cares again….
But when you multiply those 180 euros this with another 1000 or 1000000 users the numbers long term is becoming increasingly insane that this company is losing just because they are prohibiting their own customers to watch their products in 4K on their high end laptops….
because probably there are for sure out there a huge amount of people believing the exact same thing like me….
So here we are again….the only winner with this behaviour is the maths …..they never lie like the people do….
Netflix just took my 15 euros and I will be 100% a subscriber on them only because of this nonsense behaviour from a company in 2026…..
Everyone is happy and the life goes on..….

And to close this….if this pirate excuses they are claiming to be the reason for all this behaviour just wake up and face reality….
Pirate exists for the last 30 plus years…it has not been invented today….when someone wants to pirate something digitally he will do it sooner or later….there are many streaming platforms out there and you are not alone afraid from this…but it seems that the other companies have already found the solution in 2026 and they allow their customers to enjoy 100% all of their products in the best quality and not losing them like you do….
The solution is one click away…bring the option 4K resolution back on the high end laptops so people can use it….otherwise the maths will always be the winner and not the company….The customers like me will always find a solution whatever a company will decide to do….But this is unacceptable in 2026 really…..

As far as I'm aware, none of them are on Amazon Prime or NOW, which just doesn't make sense to me.

It can't be licensing, as WBD owns those shows, why would it have to license it to its own streaming service in international markets, that's just weird. I just don't understand the logic behind the decision, and I don't think its because of the possible WB-Paramount Merger.

Hi. Im in the UK and just bought Now TV with HBO Max hoping to watch Intersteller, Gremlins 2 and Edge of Tomorrow (Live, Die, Repeat) but can only find Intersteller on the app. Anyone who knows why I would love an answer bc im really confused
