The platform freeze-out: While a last-minute deal with Comcast gave Max access to one of the country’s biggest cable and internet providers, the streamer is shockingly still not available on Roku and Amazon Fire.Also, you can finally stream Friends again (or, if you’re me, every episode of Scooby-Doo.)Īnd yet right out of the gate, Max execs have found themselves hit with multiple hiccups: It’s hardly a disaster: Originals such as Love Life and Legendary, while not exactly dominating the pop-culture conversation, have gotten solid receptions from critics, and the Max user interface improves nicely on the already-solid HBO Now template on which it was built. It’s been a month since AT&T-owned WarnerMedia launched HBO Max, and while the literal rollout went smoothly - the app works fine and there have been no big tech issues - the media narrative around the new streaming platform has been less than ideal.
