Modern Masterpieces on HBO Max

These are the multi-Emmy-winning giants that defined the golden standard of modern television. If you haven't checked these off your list, start here.

• Succession: A masterclass in corporate backstabbing, razor-sharp dialogue, and familial trauma. Watching the miserable, wealthy Roy’s siblings’ scheme for control of their aging father's media empire is flawless television.

• Chernobyl: A terrifyingly precise, ten-time Emmy-winning look at the 1986 Soviet nuclear disaster. Craig Mazin's historical miniseries plays out like a real-world horror film, balancing bureaucratic cover-ups with raw human sacrifice.

• The White Lotus: Mike White's anthology series takes an uncomfortable, brilliant look at the ultra-rich behaving badly at hyper-luxury resorts. It's beautifully shot, deeply awkward, and wrapped in a murder mystery.

• The Last of Us: Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey anchor this post-apocalyptic masterpiece. It entirely shattered the “video game adaptation curse” by anchoring terrifying, zombie-adjacent tension with brilliant character work.

Comedies and Dark Satires on HBO Max

If you need a break from the intense, heavy-duty drama, Max’s comedy lineup delivers elite cynicism, existential dread, and incredible scannability.

• Hacks: Jean Smart stars as a legendary, aging Las Vegas comedian forced to hire a canceled, entitled Gen-Z writer (Hannah Einbinder) to keep her act fresh. The cross-generational chemistry is electric.

• Barry: Bill Hader’s brilliant, genre-bending dark comedy follows a depressed Midwestern hitman who accidentally catches the acting bug in Los Angeles. It flawlessly shifts from laugh-out-loud Hollywood satire to a bruising, tragic crime thriller.

• Curb Your Enthusiasm: Larry David’s long-running, largely improvised masterpiece following a fictionalized, hyper-neurotic version of himself who constantly goes to war with society’s unwritten social rules.

• Rick and Morty: For fans of adult animation, this sci-fi comedy tracking a sociopathic genius scientist and his timid grandson remains one of the most consistently streamed shows on the platform.
