Best review of Stankey’s HBO Max:
Stankey “reorganized the company to deliver, and hired the right execs to develop, manage and bring HBO Max to life.”
HBO Max launched this week as a muddled mix of confusing brand identities that neither honors HBO’s high-bar legacy nor gives a clear idea of what Max is trying to be. Instead of being the best new thing in streaming services, we got a hodgepodge of oddball brands shuffled in together without any apparent cohesion. HBO Max is a damn mess, and it’s ruining an otherwise great service that viewers loved.
