Netflix leadership was famous for saying “we need to become HBO faster than HBO can become us” – and as fate would have it, HBO finally did make a service that can compete with the streaming giants. It’s all the HBO original content, from The Wire and The Sopranos to Westworld and Games of Thrones.
It also functions as a bundle: classic movie buffs will be happy to find content from The Criterion Collection on HBO Max. Kids and adults alike will also appreciate animation content from Looney Tunes, Studio Ghibli, and Crunchyroll.
