aHBO Max, Warner Media’s streaming service, launches in May. At $14.99 a month, it’s priced a bit above competitors like Netflix and Disney+. Will the extra money be worth it? Take a look at the new trailer and decide for yourself:
Friends, Game of Thrones, Joker, The Big Bang Theory, South Park, classics like Casablanca and The Wizard of Oz…and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. HBO Max definitely has some stuff to recommend it; I just worry if it’s enough to overcome that price, and to move people to try yet another streaming service when there are already so many out there.
WarnerMedia previewed a bunch of what’s available on HBO Max through some Valentine’s Day Twitter poetry. Whatever it takes to stand out:
HBO Max has plenty of original series on tap, too, including one set in the Dune universe, a Gossip Girl sequel, and plenty more. And if you’re wondering, so far as I can tell, HBO Max is not a replacement for HBO Go or HBO Now, which could get confusing. Good luck.
