Just got HBOMax what do we need to watch?
Preferably series and not movies.

Westwood & Chernobyl for sure.
GOT, I'd suggest, but will avoid spoilers....

Chernobyl for sure. Valley of Tears too.

My wife and I are in the middle of the final season of Game of Thrones, starting from the very beginning about a month ago. Wow, the episodes of the last 2 seasons are pure spectacle and no substance. I knew it when I watched it the first time, but painfully obvious as we limp to the finale...

For my system, HBOMax is incredibly slow to load and locks up all the time.

Currently watching Pushing Daisies. It's kinda stupid Smile

All ten seasons of Friends

All twelve seasons of The Big Bang Theory

As mentioned: Deadwood

Ghosts (Unsurprisingly: Much funnier than the U.S. version.)

The New Adventures of Old Christine

The Flight Attendant

I'm sure there are others, but we remove 'em from our lists when we're done with them.

Start with Succession. You’ll be glad you did. Best series anywhere.

And Curb your Enthusiasm. Leon (J.B. Smoove) is got damn hilarious.

And watch Dune (new one) before it’s gone.

Lots of good suggestions… Here’s a new one if you like JK Simmons; Counterpart

Huge +1 for Chernobyl.

Dune will be out in a couple of months. You just missed the window on that.

That extra long Justice League is one of the few decent superhero movies of late.

Other than that, most any HBO original.

I think it's on Prime, too. Really enjoyed it, but it ended abruptly, IMO.

I’ll get slaughtered for this, but the stories of Sex and the City were a fun watch back in the day. It was pretty far away from the politically correct and woke shit that has returned to the screen…I’m not wasting my time with the new version.

All great suggestions. Let me add:

The Night of.
House of Saddam.

HBO is the king of mini series.

The humor is not for everyone I will admit. If you are a snarky, sarcastic type like me you love it.

IMO this was brilliant as I deal with this all the time and always want to call people out for it:

Google fu and find the season where J.B. Smoove was added to the cast. Watch that season on and you'll have a much better time.
