interesting content but the ability to watch TCM is pretty cool. some real classics like Casablanca and Citizen Cane but also charlie chaplan, a bunch of the Godzilla movies, a bunch of foreign classics like The Hidden Fortress, osake ELegy
some movies like Safety Last that are hard to find.

just a really good list of classics

Yeah I'm pleasantly surprised with the content increase. Not just the quantity but the variety.

Unfortunately it doesn't work with Amazon & Roku yet because they are still in negotiations on revenue sharing. So I can watch on my iPad but not on TV.

 

[upperdeck]

yeah TV works if you use a game device easier

Is it worth the 14.99 a month? I just finished rewatching the Sopranos. Is hbo max better than Netflix?

Is it worth the 14.99 a month? I just finished researching the Sopranos. Is hbo max better than Netflix?

I would say yes to worth it. Some of the best series’ ever, with super high production values.

Not better or worse, just different. Netflix updates their content weekly, much more than HBO. I’ve been surprised at how much I enjoyed some Netflix produced series and movies. Lower budget but lots of variety.

Yes to the first four. Didn’t see the last one on their listings. A small number of shows or movies aren’t available because they are in contract to other streaming services. Not sure what the story is on Minf of the Married Man.

Again, I was surprised at the increase in content.

For those of you who are Spectrum Silver package subscribers, HBO Max is part of that package. I didn't realize that until today but I got an email from Spectrum about it and was able to log in using my Spectrum account.

I'd recommend Sopranos... for you.

From HBO I'd also recommend:

Curb your Enthusiasm
Veep (funniest show I think I've ever seen)
Barry
Silicon Valley (at least the TJ Miller years).
Six Feet Under
Vice Principals (season 1)
and, I'm probably not supposed to say this as a male, but Sex & The City is very good. Kinda started it all.

They still don't have an HBOMAX app for the Firestick, so I'm stuck watching on a laptop.

Does Millhouse know about Sex and the City?

 

[Chip]

Does Millhouse know about s e x and the City?

Based on Mario Cantone's character alone, I would guess yes.

I got same email. So I feel dumb asking this question but when I go to the Spectrum icon on my TV why don't I see anything that says HBO Max.

Obviously not catering to the Spectrum Silver level customers who probably just want to watch TV and don't want to deal with streaming. I have one TV with a box, one I watch through Roku and one Sharp Smart TV that says it is a Roku TV and operares pretty close to the one I watch through Roku. Needless to say I won't be watching HBO Max even though I get it free.

 

[upperdeck]

not catering to anyone who wants to stream it easily, still a fight over money

 

[OrangeDW]

The Wire, Curb, The Sopranos, and I’m sure many others, aren’t included on Amazon Prime Video anymore. I’m assuming this is why?

Yes all those are included on HBO Max.
