‘Succession’ and ‘Dr. Pimple Popper’ Together in New Warner Streaming App

The service, expected to be called Max, is meant to help the company compete more directly with Netflix and Disney.

On Wednesday, Warner Bros. Discovery executives will unveil plans for the new combined streaming service, bringing together classic HBO series like “The Sopranos” and “Succession” with Discovery series like “Dr. Pimple Popper” and “Fixer Upper.” The service will be called Max and debut in the next month or two, according to three people with knowledge of the decision.

The streaming service will cost roughly $16 a month

HBO Max was/is great. I really hope this doesn’t lead to a ton of shitty low budget reality content.

That's already been starting for months now.

Discovery is a shit show of reality tv.

One app - twice the cost?

Currently get Discovery + free through Sky in the UK (not me personally, just saying) wonder if this signals the end of that?

HBO Max also has a bunch of deals like that in the US. I wonder if this cleans their hands of all those deals.

This sounds awful.

Will I still get HBO stuff with my ATT account?

HBO usually goes through Sky Atlantic (NOWtv for BT customers) in the UK, Discovery+ will probably stay the same for us.

If I have to pay more then I'll cancel my sub. D+ is utter shite.

 

[March Climber]

It will be called Max? Like Cinemax?

Discovery is a shit show of reality tv.

I watch nature documentaries on Discover+ (Planet Earth and similar stuff is on there), stuff like Myth Busters, How It's Made.. I also watch a lot of "Food" shows like Chopped and Beat Bobby Flay... survival shows like Alone/Naked and Afraid... the occasional True Crime documentary... other general documentaries.. there's some cool stuff about cars and military vehicles..

I dunno, there's a lot of content on Discovery+. If you don't like documentary TV stuff then yeah, but it's not all "reality TV."

Aren't those like older stuff?

But ok, point taken. Even OmegaSupreme weird log fetish.

Hey its his choice with what he does with logs in the bedroom.

Fun fact. I work in a hospital and people come in all the time with splinters on their penis. I have to tell them to stop beating their wood with wood.

Not all of it.. I think most of what I mentioned has new seasons/episodes, but also some of it was just to give an idea of the kind of content. There's always new shows coming out in those genres on Discovery+.

 

[Pagusas]

hmmm, my Att fiber internet comes with HBO Max for free, hope that doesn't change...

Price hasn't changed (at least, assuming this is for the "ad free" version) so hopefully existing deals stay.

 

[ReBurn]

I like both services. I get HBO Max for free and I pay for discovery+. Wonder how it's all gonna shake out?

This is where I am.
