HBO MAX LAUNCH
May 27, 2020  | By David Bianculli

HBO Max, 3:00 a.m. ET

 
STREAMING SERVICE LAUNCH: It’s neither HBO Go nor HBO Now – though, if you have either of those, they should, theoretically, shift or allow free access to HBO Max, the new streaming service rolled out today. Its biggest draw is its large backlog of series and movies, both from HBO and elsewhere. (From this point on, for a while, HBO Max is the only streaming site on which you can see all of Friends.) There also are HBO Max originals being unveiled today, from children’s shows (a Muppet Show-like The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo, a reboot of Looney Tunes) to the best offering of the bunch, an anthology comedy-drama series called Love Life. This first season stars Anna Kendrick (pictured) as Darby, going through men and years in New York in what feels very much like an even more modern Sex and the City. She’s excellent, and Love Life is, indeed, very much worth watching.
