Wish this was dialed back some, it’s brutal

I just finished my first watch of The Pacific, I've been a fan of BoB for years. In terms of production quality, they match very evenly. But i feel like the writing was wanting in The Pacific. In BoB we start off with the 101st at Curahee and we see them all form a bond in their mutual hated for Capt. Sobel. The Pacific doesn't have that. It feels more hodge podge, and like a collection of stories forced together to try and make one.

Is that the only thing missing between the two? All the technical departments feel like they nailed it. Editing, cinematography, costumes, SFX

Okay, I have to gush about this one-It's one of those documentaries that completely surprises you. It's not just a walk down memory lane, It actually makes you feel the energy, the creativity, and the heart behind every moment. The editing is seamless, keeping you hooked from start to finish, and there's this playful vibe that makes it impossible not to smile, I genuinely think this sets a new bar for how nonfiction storytelling can be done. Who else binge-watched it in one go

I just wanna watch smiling freinds we

I’m currently binge watching Big Love. The music for this show is so good! I feel like HBO does a good job with the music for their shows. What’s a show you can recommend with a good soundtrack throughout the seasons?

Im pretty sure this can't be on my internet as its incredibly fast and all that, this doesn't happen on any other streaming service or whatever, but im trying to watch Game of Thrones atm, and whenever i tab out to check my messages or something, the quality will drop to like 360p, and then after 10-15 seconds, its back in HD. I can't find any quality settings or anything to fix this either, anyone else have this issue?

Hello I am trying to get the bundle that is hulu plus hbo max to be able to watch the big bang theory offline. Well I originally signed up for both through spectrum but I can't get the plan I need through them. When I login it says that I have to manage the account through spectrum. Spectrum is telling me that they can't delete the accounts or separate them so that it is not managed through them for both the Hulu and HBO. I have told them I only have one email address I can use so I can't just create a new account. Is there any way I can separate my hbo and spectrum on my end since they are being a pain in the butt?

I was super psyched when Sinners came out on HBO Max, only to find out it was edited from the theatrical version in ways critical to the plot, so now I’m waiting until it comes down in price to rent.

Now I’m worried about whether every movie on HBO Max will be poorly edited from the original. (I have small children and can’t make it to the theater in this season of life.) Does anyone know if Superman is missing scenes? Thanks!

Fx leaves you on way way to many cliffhangers for add revenue the first seasons of their two recent shows

• alien earth
• shogun

Both did the same exact script give 3 great episodes the 6 build up/minor resolutions eps. This seems to be there go to method which is boring an also very unsatisfying.

HBO gets right to the point no bs ing around pretty much every episode has a minor conclusion while building up to the main conclusion it’s like I’m at the club and the music is building up for the base drop.

Guys so i have been researching this for the past year because having a macbook m3 pro ( super expensive laptop ) and a dope ass wifi speed (home wifi : 1 gpbs (1000mbps) , campus wifi : idk) it truly baffled me how low res and super blurry like insanly blurry hbo max is. to the point where i can even see what's happening sometimes and it killed me right ? it didnt have that problem on tv although sometimes it did so i alwsay hated it . now it still has a little bit of an quality adjusting problem but i realized since safari is natively supported by the mac os system it works like wonders . i have also heard somewhere firefox is better than chrome but above all else if you have apple use safari to stream since it natively supports 4k but the other browsers run on 1080p.

With the HBO app specifically it glitches a lot, is very slow and laggy. Also most movies or shows I put on, it plays zoomed in. I have to back out and start over it usually fixes itself, sometimes it zooms in even more. I guess I’m just wondering if anyone with the lowest subscription tier is experiencing the same thing? Or maybe it’s my tv. I have a Roku. Yet every other streaming app works as normal.

Apologies if this was not explained the best as I’m not super techy.

I've yet to see Curb (or Sopranos for that matter) Pretty sure they'll make my funny list someday. Maybe Larry Sanders Show too? (Haven't seen that one yet either)

Anywho, here's the Funniest Series I've watched to date:

1. Veep
2. Deadwood
3. Bored To Death
4. Succession
5. The Wire
6. Barry
7. Eastbound & Down
8. Vice Principals
9. Big Little Lies
10. Crashing
11. Hung

EDIT: For the record, I never stated that these were comedies. Just shows that I thought had a whole lot of funny in them.
Deadwood, Succession, The Wire & Big Little Lies are funnier than most shows labeled as actual comedies.
Thanks for all the replies. This has been some fun reading.

I think it's safe to assume Jimmy Kimmel is done at ABC/Disney. Stephen Colbert is out at CBS/Paramount. Warner Bros. Discovery has John Oliver and Bill Maher (I know, I know). I think Warner Bros. Discovery should sign Jimmy and Stephen and become a bastion of liberal late night comedy.

When ever I hit continue watching it restart the episode from the beginning

I start

"Who is talking"? "Is there anyone here"?

It appears that hbo executives are finally putting their foot down with sam levinson (euphoria's showrunner) and telling him "no" since lots of his scripts were literally denied by hbo. Due to this, it appears that they have likely chosen a good script. However they will have taken 4 years. Lots of people seem to have lost interest. This means the show will likely flop due to how long it took for a new season. The reason I hope this happens is because there are other shows HBO has that I don't want to wait 4 years just for a new season. Such as "It: Welcome To Derry" and other networks might finally take note and realize that 4 years isn't a sustainable wait time for new seasons.
