My front page is showing Friends, Fresh Prince, Harry Potter, and Max Originals. :manny:

Just gotta let it marinate and see where they go from here. I was harsh on it at first but WarnerMedia's library is pretty damn stacked and trumps any other IMO. That and the Criterion/TCM section were big highlights to me.

I am always comparing and up for something new, but not sure this is it. Not that much more of a step up from Go/Now. the thing is, I have the Criterion Channel and I hope it stays around. I mean its cool if MAX has some content from CC but I dont want cross-licensing to affect my viewing. Should be on both platforms or if not then MAX needs to absorb all of CC which I doubt happens with all the content CC has.

Max's DC section is really illustrating how hard Superman has fallen off. There's not one featured movie or programming with him alone? Damn, who has all the Superman movies?

you talkin bout the Chris Reeves joints? all those are on DCU. the later ones are PPV on Prime/Apple TV

Missing a bunch of content. I was kinda hype for it but when I logged in this morning shyt was meh.

I heard the bitrate is a lot better than hbonow

meh is right. I thought when they said MAX it would include all HBO legacy catalogue. missin wild shyt. was lookin for stuff like Lackawanna Blues, The FULL Autopsy archives, Shock Video series, etc....nothing. Same Autopsy that was on HBO GO, thats it. they added some stuff, but outside of Fresh Prince, really nothing has piqued my interest. A lot of the other stuff I was watching elsewhere. The Nolan Batman's are on HULU. Was watching Boondocks on Adult Swim app, etc...and I have Criterion Channel. Maybe if I get the urge to sit and watch all the Harry Potters. :ehh: and all of my viewing is on Roku/FireTV even though I do have two chromecasts.
