April was a serious month for HBO and Max. The channel and streamer wrapped up season 2 of its excellent crime drama Tokyo Vice and premiered an unsettling political thriller, The Sympathizer, starring recent Oscar-winner Robert Downey Jr. In addition to those two shows, Max hosted the streaming debut of The Zone of Interest, one of the most unsettling and controversial Holocaust movies ever made.
So it’s not a surprise that Max is going to lighten up a little. Sure, there’s the odd devastating drama like The Iron Claw with Zac Efron, but there’s also the debut of Emmy-winning comedy Hacks‘ newest season. For those YA fans out there, John Green’s Turtles All the Way Down finally makes its way to small screens worldwide. There’s something for everyone this month on HBO and Max, so read below to find out something that suits your interests.
