Stars: Dana Snyder, Carey Means, Dave Willis, Matt Maiellaro, George Lowe, C. And we just might just end up loving it.- Amy Amatangelo Love Life has been picked up for a second season where viewers will follow a whole new protagonist, this time someone who thinks they’ve found their soulmate, only to discover they were wrong.

(Special shout out to Zoe Chao, who is fantastic as Darby’s best friend Sarah.) The series deftly chronicles those rocky years in your 20s when your career, your friendships, and your relationships are all in flux, and it has some interesting things to say about parenthood and figuring out your relationship with your parents as an adult. The conceit of the show is that we are all in a few relationships before we find the one and that true happiness cannot be found in another person, you have to figure that out for yourself. Each episode-blessedly only 30 minutes each which is absolutely part of the show’s appeal-follows Darby in a certain year of her life and in a different romantic relationship. But what I can tell you is that the show is compulsively watchable, much like every romantic comedy that you love even though deep down you know it’s not a great movie (here’s looking at you, 27 Dresses).Īnna Kendrick stars as Darby, a would-be museum curator who we meet as a young twentysomething (the wigs at this stage of Darby’s life are bad).

Stars: Anna Kendrick, Zoë Chao, Peter Vack, Sasha Compère So below are 40 of our best bets for what to watch on this mega-conglomerate streaming service that run the gamut-enjoy! But while HBO series have all been in one place for a long time, the content on Max has not. So if you’d like to check them out, you can peruse our ranked list of HBO Series here.

Our list would be twice as long, though, if we included all of HBO’s great series, which are also a part of Max. From sweeping romance to brutal animation to hilarious 2000s-set comedies, Max’s combination of various Turner cable properties, DC TV shows, Cinemax, and Warner Bros-produced series has provided a strange but worthwhile group of scripted and unscripted viewing. Like HBO Max itself, our picks for the best shows on HBO are a hodgepodge.
