HBO Max Review
HBO Max brands itself as “powerhouse programming for everyone in the home, bringing together HBO, new original series, and fan favorites from WarnerMedia’s rich library.”
This huge VOD service is owned/operated by WarnerMedia and was officially launched in May 2020.
One competitive advantage that HBO Max has is its exclusive titles that other services can’t provide.
This includes titles from Warner Bros, New Line, DC, Turner Classic Movies, Crunchyroll, Rooster Teeth, Looney Tunes, and much more.
Its single subscription plan provides users with access to all of these exclusive titles along with thousands of other streaming options.
You can find specific content offerings towards the end of this HBO Max Review.
HBO Max is compatible with most popular devices such as the Firestick/Fire TV, Android, Chromecast with Google TV, iOS, and more options for cord-cutters.
The service was launched over three years ago by two former Big TV executives who found a niche in affordable family TV.
