HBO Max Review: Expensive but Its Catalog Is Packed

You get titles from HBO, Warner Bros., DC Comics and more all under one streaming roof. The service has also now earned a CNET Editors' Choice Award.

Large, varied content catalog that includes all of HBO ; Simple, easy-to-navigate interface ; Lots of children's shows and customizable rating settings

High price, even with ads ; Can't import watch history or personalized recommendations ; $10 tier lacks offline downloads

Max review: Shorter name, more content and 4K now costs extra

A wide library combining HBO, Discovery and DC content plus Max Originals makes Max a must.

HBO Max won folks over by going beyond the HBO archives, adding in prestigious brands such as Studio Ghibli and the Criterion Collection. We're curious to see how much the HBO Max subscribers take to the Discovery content's inclusion.

The navigation has some frustrating quirks ; Tech issues when accessing the service on iMac

HBO Max is packed with high-quality shows and movies, but some irritating UI quirks make it a less than perfect experience.
