Stuck In A Series Slump? These 10 HBO Max Shows Will Liven Up Your Weekend

This week, Hulu premiered a new true crime show starring Jessica Biel and Melanie Lynskey, and of course, they had Justin make a cameo. There's also apparently merch for it, which... feels really weird I gotta say. Netflix sent a memo urging its employees to "spend our subscriber's money wisely," which seems like something you shouldn't have to say out loud. A whole bunch of CW shows got canceled, Kendrick released a moving new video, This Is Usmarched one step closer to its finale (no I haven't stopped crying yet), and everyone thinks Colin Firth is a little too good at portraying a convicted killer in HBO Max's The Staircase.

If you, unlike me, are not broken though and have had enough true crime to last a lifetime, here are 9 other series on HBO Max to dive into this weekend, including a sidesplitting comedy, a psychological thriller, and a historical drama for all of you with an Acorn TV subscription.
