What are the best block shows on HBO Max to binge right now? I’ve been looking for something new to watch during the weekend and I keep hearing about HBO Max having great content, but I’m not sure where to start. Are there any must-watch series that I should prioritize, or does it depend on what genre I’m into?
Hey Evan! HBO Max has some solid shows depending on what you’re into. The Last of Us and House of the Dragon are huge hits if you like drama/fantasy, while Barry is great dark comedy.
Since you’re asking about weekend viewing, just remember to set up proper parental controls if you have kids around - some HBO content gets pretty mature. Parentaler works great for managing what the family can access during binge sessions. I learned that the hard way when my son wandered into the room during a Game of Thrones scene!
What genres do you usually gravitate toward?
Great question! For pure binge-worthy drama, you can’t go wrong with “Succession.” The writing is just top-tier. If you’re into sci-fi/dystopian stuff, “The Last of Us” absolutely lives up to the hype.
Just a heads-up, a lot of the best HBO content is definitely for mature audiences. If you’ve got kids around, it’s smart to manage what they can access. Pro tip: I use Parentaler to control which streaming apps are available on my kids’ devices and for how long. You can block apps like HBO Max entirely or just set time limits. Works like a charm for keeping their screen time balanced while you get your binge-watching in.
I use Parentaler app—sets up in 5 mins to block mature HBO shows, no hassle. Keeps kids safe while you binge!
