HBO Max has a serious selection of shows and movies from all of its partner networks, including HBO, Discovery, Food Network, and more. New shows and movies are always being added, so here are my top picks for this weekend and the week ahead, plus everything new streaming below. This week has the biggest jewel heist in 50 years, a must-watch documentary, and more.
This Week on Max: PCMag’s Picks
Inside The Kim Kardashian Heist (Sept. 23)
One of the craziest celebrity crimes in recent memory, Kim Kardashian being held at gunpoint during Paris Fashion Week and robbed of $6 million worth of jewelry prompted many questions as to how the well-protected star was caught lacking. This three-episode docuseries dives deep into the crime, the manhunt, and the trial that followed.

The Devil Is Busy (Sept. 23)
HBO has long been one of the major players in the documentary game, and this month’s The Devil Is Busy is a must-watch. Directors Geeta Gandbhir and Christalyn Hampton embedded themselves in an Atlanta-area abortion clinic that is the target of constant pro-life protests to understand how they keep their patients safe and preserve their own sanity.
Hustlers Gamblers Crooks (Sept. 24)
Here’s another fun Discovery Channel series that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Each episode of Hustlers, Gamblers, and Crooks finds a protagonist willing to take big risks and bend the truth to secure the bag. The series then follows the protagonist through triumph and tragedy. Card sharks, scam artists, masters of disguise, and more all get their chance to shine.
