Max hands-on: HBO Max reboot makes it easier to find something you like

Max, the new HBO Max, is full of recommendations

Navigating around Max, the new version of HBO Max that launches today (May 23) I was mostly impressed and pleased by how little has changed. But I picked up on a subtle change that should make a world of difference to streamers.

Discovery — as in finding stuff to watch — is the biggest low-stakes problem that most of us face every day. And I’ve found a few ways that Max will improve on this when compared to HBO Max (already the best streaming service).

Unfortunately, there’s also one change that I don’t agree with, though Max head of product Tyler Whitworth told me he believes they’re making the right call. So allow me to explain why Max looks like a good thing — not a bad thing.
