Check out HBO Max’s 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 three top picks for this weekend and the week ahead, plus everything new streaming below. It’s Shark Week, and I hope you’re prepared.
This Week on Max: PCMag’s Picks
Billy Joel: And So It Goes (July 18)
You might not be super into the Piano Man, but Billy Joel has had a hell of a musical career and personal life. From his bizarre prog-rock beginnings to smash hits in the ’70s and beyond, he’s seen and done it all. This two-part documentary debuted to raves at the Tribeca Film Festival, and early reviews have been extremely positive. The first half streams today, with the second premiering on July 25.
Shark Week 2025 (July 20)
Summertime brings many holidays and special events, but few capture our hearts quite like Shark Week. The Discovery Channel’s annual celebration of the fiercest predators of the ocean always brings thrills, chills, and unexpected comedy, and this year’s will be no exception. We don’t have a full rundown of what to expect during this year’s Shark Week, but we can guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Teen Titans Go!, Season 9C (July 20)
While HBO Max doesn’t have quite the volume of animation that it did in its glory days, it can still deliver the goods. Teen Titans Go!, about the ridiculous adventures of DC’s teenage heroes in the time they spend not battling evil, has been a Cartoon Network mainstay since 2013. It’s good, dumb fun, with surprising cameos and guest stars, and doesn’t seem to be losing any steam in its ninth season.
