broadcast shows that were picked up by HBO Max for additional seasons or international
release. What's your favorite show on HBO Max? Let us know in the comments.
Number - 8 Love Life
The lines between film and television are all blurred, as shown by love life, an anthology
romantic comedy based around various characters and their titular love lives.
The first season focuses on Darby Carter, who is played by Anna Kendrick, who is still
fantastic and consistent.
The addition of Paul Feig as executive producer, as well as Kendrick's profile, did a lot to
attract attention to the program.
Though the plot is told in an episodic style, it has the feel of a big-screen comedy, complete
with the charm, humor, and heart that one would imagine given the artistic talents involved.
Number - 7 Raised by Wolves
Aaron Guzikowski, perhaps best known as the creator of 2013 Prisoners, produced this science-fiction
drama.
Ridley Scott also serves as executive producer and directed the first two episodes of the
series. He is also joined by his son, Luke Scott who directed a further three.
The story concerns two androids known only as mother and father raising human children
on a distant planet following the destruction of the earth.
Raised by Wolves incorporates science fiction ideas to discuss common human themes through
a specific religion and belief system. The show is hard sci-fi with stellar production
standards and a gloriously modern aesthetic.
Number - 6 Generation
HBO's content is typically geared towards adults, but in the case of “Generation”,
the streaming service looks to capture the gen-z demographic.
Lena Dunham produced the show. Generation is a dramedy about a group of high school
students in Orange County, California.
Teenagers growing up in a socially religious society are forced to confront their preconceived
ideas about love and identity while questioning their sexuality.
The young Zelda lends an air of authenticity to the show preventing, how do you do fellow
kids from writing other shows of this type and ensuring that it's grounded in reality.
Number - 5 Made For Love

as Hazel Green, a woman who flees an abusive 10-year marriage.
Unfortunately, Hazel's billionaire husband has implanted a tracking device in her, allowing
him to watch and monitor both her location and her emotional status.
The story serves as wonderful satire pushing the ways that technology is becoming more
intrusive to extreme lengths for laughs.
And audiences can, especially given Milioti's excellent and hilarious performance as Hazel,
but the show isn't just funny; it's also a tender exploration of Hazel's newfound freedom
and independence, with great social commentary.

by HBO Max for exclusive release in the United States.

cast of queer characters who lived through the Aids crisis in Nineteen Eighties London.
The show has received widespread acclaim for its appearances, writing, and portrayal of
the Aids epidemic.

and increasing HIV testing awareness. It's moving and captivating, but it's still shockingly
hilarious at times. Above all, it's a sin that must be seen.

season aired concurrently on both DC universe and HBO Max, although its third season will
be available exclusively on HBO Max.
The show follows the titular doom patrol, a group of misfit superheroes.
Today, superhero displays abound, but Doom Patrol stands out from the crowd due to its
unhinged weirdness and gleefully oddball personality.
It's fantastically strange, but it still takes the time to examine the underlying sadness
at the core of the plot and its characters.
Number - 2 Search Party

Max for its third and fourth seasons.
It stars Alia Shawkat as Dory Seif, a recent NYU graduate who decides to look for a lost
