Max Review

Max is well worth the price if you ask us. There is so much new, original, and exclusive content that there’s no chance you and your family will get bored.

So, $10–$20 a month for new release Warner Bros. movies, all older Max content, and new Max content? Yes. Yes, please.

And Max recently launched their new limited ads service. You can save $6 per month by watching no more than four minutes of ads per hour. (But we think it's worth spending the extra $6 for no interruptions.)

A lot of services nowadays throw in Max for free with your TV plan. You can get Max for free for three months with DIRECTV. If you're on the lookout for a cable TV provider, Optimum TV, Spectrum TV, and Cox TV include a complimentary subscription to Max, as well.

No contract or fees at all. You can cancel whenever you’d like.

With Max, you’ll get lots of excellent WarnerMedia shows and movies, a selection of other acquired series and films (like Friends and Gossip Girl), and new original content that everyone is raving about. (Jump down to the Original content in the section below.)

And on December 15th, you'll be able to stream the largest global film release of 2023, Barbie, from the comfort of your very own Dreamhouse.

Max also has a feature that allows you to browse Max's content by "Brand Spotlight" like TLC or Cartoon Network.

Max's excellent on-demand library includes the following movies for winding down at night:

Max used to have more fresh, recently-released-from-theaters content, but we think their library is still worth checking out.

Max includes the following TV shows to watch while you're working from home or waiting in a long line:

Max is one-of-a-kind because it gives you access to newly-released Warner Bros. movies, but Max is also getting attention for its Originals.

Max’s Originals include the following:

• The White Lotus (with Jennifer Coolidge, Aubrey Plaza, and Sydney Sweeney)
• Love & Death (with Elizabeth Olsen and Jesse Plemons)
• The Flight Attendant (with Kaley Cuoco and Michiel Huisman)
• The Gilded Age (with Christine Baranski)
• Euphoria (with Zendaya)
• Barry (with Bill Hader)
• The Survivor (with Ben Foster and Danny DeVito)
• Free Guy (with Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson)
• Mare of Easttown (with Kate Winslet)

It's safe to say that Max is one of the most expensive on-demand services on the market, but you get what you pay for. 

Netflix is the same or more expensive (depending on which plan you choose), but it has close to 6,000 titles while Max has just over 1,000.

But we dare say that Max has more well-made, cinematic content than the services that are a little bit on the cheaper side, like Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+ or Hulu. If you'd like to know more, check out the top on-demand streaming services.

You’re going to want to watch The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on your road trip, or your kids are going to need to be entertained with Looney Tunes while you’re grocery shopping.

It’s no question we need our streaming services on the go.

Max is available on most popular streaming devices. When Max made its debut in May 2020, it was only compatible with a few devices. We're happy to see that's changed.

But Max is available for the following devices:

When you subscribe to Max, you’ll get all of Max's older content (like Game of Thrones), Max's new Originals, Warner Bros. movies, and other content (like Fresh Prince of Bel-Air). You get all this for $10–$20, or the price of two coffees.

Let's break down what you'll get with your new Max subscription:

• The entire Max service
• WarnerMedia shows and movies (including brand new releases)
• Discovery+ content including platforms like TLC, Discovery Inc, HGTV, and The Travel Channel.
• A selection of other acquired series and films like The Big Bang Theory, Friends, and Joker.
• New Max original content like Love & Death, Reality, and Warrior.

You might have found the next streaming service for you and your family. But if you aren’t feeling the idea of becoming a Max subscriber, check out our full reviews on Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime.
