HBO Max the powerful novelty of streaming

Gone are the times when we waited for the day and the right time to watch our favorite television program. In today's times, nobody goes around venues that rent DVDs or eagerly awaits the day of the premieres on the cinema screen. A few years ago our customs changed and television shows or movies are watched at home, from the couch, when you want and without interruptions.
The industry that developed around the new modality for watching movies and series is known as video on demand or streaming services. Surely the first name that comes to mind is that of the popular Netflix platform. But in recent months, contenders began to appear who brought more than interesting proposals to fight the application of the red N the position of the most important platform.
On May 27, the news of HBO Max and its launch in the United States arrived. With expansion plans for the future, the channel service of the best series in recent years presents a novel alternative that promises to be a very competitive product.

The content

Streaming services must meet several characteristics in order to be competitive. One of them is having a good catalog. So it is very important to know what series HBO Max has.
The service presented on May 27 in Los Angeles is owned by WarnerMedia Entertainment, which is a minor division of Time Warner, and is made up of, among other channels, Cinemax, TBS, TNT and HBO. After the purchase of the communications giant AT&T from Time Warner, it became possible that with a wide and powerful catalog HBO Max was born.
As reported in the company's official statement regarding the launch of the application, the new product has more than 10,000 hours of content that includes all HBO productions (The Wire, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Game of Thrones, Westworld ), selected series and movies from Warner Bros (material collected over the production company's 100 years) and shows from New Line, DC, CNN, TNT, TBS, truTV, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Crunchyroll, Rooster Teeth and Looney Tunes Cartoons.

We have superheroes

One of the biggest bets in the streaming world was Disney's launch of its Disney Plus service. Among the extensive content it offers, the platform has the entire saga of Marvel heroes and its cinematic universe. One of the important news about HBO Max to compete in the field of video on demand shows, is the presence of the films of the characters of DC Comics, through Warner Bros.
HBO Max will not only have all the audiovisual content that was produced from Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, but will also feature the premiere of an unpublished version of Zack Snyder's film, The Justice League.

Numbers and dynamic interface

Another important information to take into account when considering whether or not to hire a streaming service is the price. So it is relevant to know how much HBO Max costs. The price in the United States is $ 14.99 per month that will compete with the $ 7 that Disney Plus costs and the $ 13 from Netflix. According to the Sensor Tower website, HBO Max gained 87,000 new users in its early days. Keep in mind that some people who already had the HBO subscription through certain cable operators received the system for free and the same thing happened with those who had HBO NOW installed. When the new video on demand platform expands to other countries, it will be necessary to consider how the company deals with those who already use HBO GO.
The interface of the new service is also a novel element that presents the possibility of grouping content by channels and a developed system for managing profiles and recommendations.

The news about the launch of HBO Max as one of the new competitors in the field of streaming in the United States is very important because it does not rule out that it will expand to other countries and compete with very popular applications such as Netflix, Amazon Prime or Apple TV. While the starting price is higher than that of its rivals, HBO Max's catalog of titles and dynamic interface merit consideration.
