Last year saw HBO Max thrive on the content side, thanks to WarnerMedia’s decision to bring big theatrical movies to the service on the same day those movies hit theaters, because of how theaters were closing during the Covid-19 pandemic’s early days. Dubbed “Project Popcorn,” this decision was met with a big embrace from audiences, and an equally negative reaction from filmmakers such as Christopher Nolan. We at Tom’s Guide loved this decision, and soon placed HBO Max at the top of our best streaming service rankings....

At first glance, HBO Max appears to have enough content to steal eyes away from the likes of Netflix and Disney Plus and become one of the best streaming services.

Why are these shows hidden? Well, unlike everything else on Disney Plus in the United States, these shows are rated TV-MA. And since Disney Plus has never held TV-MA content on this side of the Atlantic, our version of the streaming service needed a change. (Disney Plus’ Star channel has served up mature content in the UK since February, 2021.)

Low-cost models tend to forego the flashy and focus on the functional. For example, a bargain-priced printer is unlikely to have a color touch-screen LCD, a tilting control panel, or an automatic document feeder.
