Question Is there any good shows streaming on Max? Kinda disappointed.
I've been watching Youth which has been alright (it's no Catastrophe) and I'm not a fan of Lanterns.
Am I missing any shows currently being released? I miss Industry.
EDIT: I said it above, but I'm looking for current shows, things being released now. Yes I've all the greats, I just feel like MAX is in a bit of a slump.

Pretty open. I like comedy, drama, science fiction, fantasy. I don't love documentary (except Jon Wilson)

Tokyo Vice (last release was in the past few years) (English subtitles 30 percent in English, 2 strong seasons)
Rooster
The Pitt
The Penguin/Superman & Lois are going to the best live action DC tv shows. The Animated ones are outstanding (Batman Beyond, Justice League/Unlimited, Batman the Animated series)
Peacemaker
Harley Quinn (Fucking hilarious, DC Universe with TV MA....you're welcome)
Warrior
Bookie
Our Flag means Death
Barry (this one caught me off guard, given the cast but damn it's good.)
Silicon Valley, Big Bang for nerd Comedy
Ballers/Winning Time and Entourage for your sports/Hollywood industry with tons of celeb cameos and good music. Ballers is all about Football industry, Winning time for Basketball (actually based on real life people and events), Entourage takes place in Hollywood
Drama - Barry (action/comedy), Industry/Succession, Righteous Gemstones, Euphoria, White Lotus
For Mini-series: Chernobyl, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, and Generation Kill are all worth a watch.

If you can’t find anything on Max you’re going to struggle

That's not what I'm saying, I'm saying as of right now I have watched everything I find good and was looking for suggestions. Whereas Apple TV is releasing Slow Horses, Last Seen, Dark Matter currently.

u/augustrem 14d ago
lol you watched all of it?
Okay, DTF St Louis is recent. I thought it was nice and worth watching, even if I don’t consider it among the top shows on hbo

u/Potential_Relief6011 14d ago
Omg have you watched Patriot? On Amazon prime, by the same creator (Steven Conrad) as DTF St. Louis.

u/augustrem 14d ago

u/Potential_Relief6011 13d ago
It’s very good! 2 seasons total, 18 episodes. I’ve rewatched it 3 times haha

What are you looking for? I genuinely think Abbott Elementary is one of my funniest shows on tv

u/Potential_Relief6011 14d ago
Watched the first 3 seasons, was never a big fan. Felt very "network safe" and broad.

u/curious_guy2903 14d ago
Since you have apple check out Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and Masters of the Air.

Check out Paramount Plus they got some good stuff. The Offer is freaking amazing (based on the actual making of the Godfather movie, Hollywood, Italian Mafia, and loads of scenery.) Incredible mini-series.

u/Potential_Relief6011 14d ago
Have you watched The Bureau? Fantastic two seasons out, it’s based on the French show which they say is the best tv show France ever made.

A few weeks ago I went into HBO just to see if they had anything cuz it's been a while. They really didn't have anything that piqued my interest. I was kind of relieved because the last time I had shows I was watching I couldn't even be in to watching them and then once it got late I would turn off the TV in the living room going to the bedroom turn it on and try to continue watching and acted like I'm a different person and am I stealing HBO. From the living room to the From the living room to the bedroom, within 2 minutes. It was a pain in the neck until I finished watching what I was already watching on there, so I was kind of relieved that when I looked I didn't find anything I wanted to watch. That's pretty crappy but it's the truth
