If you haven’t jumped on the HBO Max train, you should do it now. Yes, sure, it has a couple of problems. You can’t watch it on your Roku device yet. The user interface can be a little confusing. But, it’s packed with great content. Out of all the streaming services out there, HBO Max is the closest competitor to Netflix. If you only had enough money for one, it should be Max.
Looney Tunes Cartoons
Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and many other classic Looney Tunes characters have all new misadventures in this series inspired by their classic shorts. Most episodes consist of two full shorts and a brief mid-episode vignette. – IMDB
These shorts honor the cartoons that came before it. It’s Bugs, Daffy, & the rest of the gang in their full glory. And our pal, Eric Bauza does an amazing job voicing some of these iconic characters.
Doom Patrol
The adventures of an idealistic mad scientist and his field team of superpowered outcasts. – IMDB
If you’re looking for a crazy, action-packed show with a giant rat and a cockroach then this is it. It also has a group of “superheroes” that aren’t quite Justice League status.
Raised By Wolves
Androids are tasked with raising human children on a mysterious planet. – IMDB
If you’re looking for a crazy, action-packed show with flying androids & a lot of milk, this is it. Also, Ridley Scott is the executive producer. That is all.
Watchmen
Set in an alternate history where masked vigilantes are treated as outlaws, Watchmen embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel of the same name, while attempting to break new ground of its own. – IMDB
How about a version of Watchmen that isn’t made by Zack Synder? If you want a story that makes sense, keeps you on the edge of your seat, and doesn’t have a million seasons, then this is your watch…man.
Class Action Park
A documentary that focuses on a dangerously legendary water park and its slew of injuries and crimes along with child safety concerns. – IMDB
Now granted, this isn’t a show. It’s a movie. But, we can’t leave it off this list. Imagine if Joe Exotic ran an amusement park in New Jersey. This would be that story.
So what are you waiting for? Go sign up for HBO Max and watch these shows (and the movie). Do you have one that didn’t make the list? Tweet us and let us know which one we missed!

From Borg to xB: Jonathan Del Arco Discusses Hugh
He first appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Fan said goodbye to him in Star Trek: Picard.
But is it really over?
Jonathan Del Arco addresses what it is like being a part of the Star Trek universe and if we’ve really seen the last of Hugh.
Michael: If I was the writer on there [Picard], I would have let you live. Just so you know.
I appreciate that.
But you know, it is Star Trek. No one ever really dies.
Michael: That’s what I was getting at. Thanos snapped half the world away, and in the next movie, everyone’s back and they beat him up.
Right.
Michael: So, do you think Hugh can come back at some point? Do you have hope that Hugh might come back at a later date?
I mean, you should never give up hope. I don’t see it in the cards. I’ve not been talked to about it. I don’t think the writers, that’s where they’re at right now. But you never know down the line. There’s so many incarnations of Star Trek, so many different kinds of shows that happen. You never know. I didn’t think I’d come back now and here I am.
Michael: It’s sad that your character died before reuniting with Geordi. Were you a little disappointed?
Very disappointed.
I was surprised and I had asked them, “why don’t I ask about Geordi?” I don’t understand why Geordi is not being addressed in any way. Maybe they had plans for using him later on and they didn’t want to muddy up the storytelling. I have no idea. But yeah, I was definitely bummed.
I was bummed I didn’t have a scene with Jeri [Ryan]. I was bummed I didn’t have a scene with Whoopi [Goldberg] or with literally any of the characters that the character initially knew well. I was super bummed that we never got to that.
Eric: With you playing the Hugh character, there’s not a drop of gayness. There is one scene between you and Elnor, they’re kind of hinting towards something, but I know there’s nothing for sure…
Well, I made a choice to love him. My choice. It wasn’t in the script.
You caught it.
It’s tricky because we didn’t have many scenes together and we had to get to a very emotional moment, very quickly. I had to die, basically, in his arms. I wanted something more powerful than just like, “hey, there’s a guy that’s been hanging out, that’s cute, for a few days.” and then die in his arms.
I wanted some investment for myself. The idea that they were seeing–like maybe you never saw what happened between the two of them? I definitely wanted to, kind of, float that out there. So I just used myself, you know? How I would respond to someone like that and the idea of being a droid your whole life and never loving someone.
And then maybe, right before you die, you do.
It’s kind of a moving thing, you know?
