The 10 most popular shows on (HBO) Max right now

There's a lot of turnover in the 10 most popular shows on (HBO) Max right now, with a very heavy emphasis on true crime series. Four of this month's series fall into that category, with Chimp Crazy feeling like Tiger King's weirder younger brother.

HBO's Industry has risen to the top of the list in September, which is not too surprising after the show added Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington to the cast this season. HBO's political talk shows, Last Week Tonight and Real Time with Bill Maher, also had strong showings.

If you have to watch one (HBO) Max movie in September 2024, stream this one
Jessica Chastain in The Martian.

If you're looking to have a Harry Potter marathon on Max, now would be the time. All eight of the Harry Potter movies are back on Max in September, and they're joined by horror classics The Exorcist and The Shining. Some of our other favorites this month include The Big Chill, Inherent Vice, and Disobedience. Any of those films would be good choices to stream, but our pick for the one Max movie that you have to watch in September is The Martian.

Don't let the name fool you, this isn't that kind of science fiction movie. There aren't any little gray aliens living on Mars; there's just a single human astronaut who may be hopelessly stranded and doomed to die long before any rescue operation can be launched. But it's far from a hopeless story, and even the behind-the-scenes tale of The Martian is inspiring. Novelist Andy Weir self-published the book on his own website before it was discovered by a larger audience. The Martian became a bestselling novel, which in turn led director Ridley Scott to assemble a stellar cast to bring it to life on the big screen.

3 underrated shows on (HBO) Max you need to watch in September 2024

The vast majority of new shows on Max are very heavily skewed toward the reality side of Warner Bros. Discovery. Frankly, we've lost count of how many iterations of 90 Day Fiancé have been squeezed from the original show. But if you're looking for something fresh to binge, we've picked out the three underrated shows on Max that you need to watch in September.

Our first selection is a European drama that's ending its four-season run, while the second option is a 19th-century murder mystery. To close out this month's underrated shows, HBO has debuted a new documentary about one of the greatest baseball players, who also happens to be one of the most controversial.
