There’s no better cable network or streamer than HBO Max right now. The forthcoming name change aside, HBO Max is still celebrating its winter triumph, The Last of Us. The fourth and final seasons of Succession and Barry are currently in full swing, and a buzzy new limited series, Love & Death, just premiered to critical acclaim.

HBO Max’s May 2023 schedule promises to keep the party going with a bevy of new releases that include the true crime comedy White House Plumbers with Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux. In addition, the fan-favorite series The Other Two returns for a third season and the original documentary Love to Love You, Donna Summer premieres at the end of the month.

5 great (HBO) Max movies to stream on Election Day
A man stands next to a smiling woman.

In the U.S., November 4 is Election Day. Numerous general elections will be held for federal, state, and local offices. Many networks will provide wall-to-wall coverage of Election Day, with a particular emphasis on the presidential election. If you love political television, this is your time to shine.

For some, political coverage can be the bane of their existence. Sometimes, you just need an escape. HBO Max is a streaming service with an impressive vault of hit movies. It's the perfect option for someone looking to dive into a rom-com or adventure film to take their mind off politics. Our suggestions for movies to stream on Election Day include a Christmas classic, a psychological thriller, and an action prequel.

The best sci-fi movies on Max right now
Dr. Grant tries to lure the T-Rex away in Jurassic Park.

At the beginning of November, Max only added 23 new movies to its cinematic lineup. That's a lot fewer than its streaming rivals. It also means that the sci-fi movies on Max aren't the only genre that's being underserved by Warner Bros. Discovery. Since last month, War for the Planet of the Apes, Aliens, Leviathan, Predators, and High Life have all departed Max. Unfortunately, adding the first three Jurassic Park movies doesn't really do enough to offset that loss.

But since we can only work with what we have, the original Jurassic Park is one of our films in the spotlight for November. The other new addition, Watchmen Chapter 1, isn't arriving until November 18. That is an animated superhero movie, but it also has many sci-fi elements, and it's one of the best comic book stories ever created.

Everything you need to know about From season 3
A man screams in agony in From season 3.

MGM+ subscribers are ahead of the curve on From, a sci-fi/horror series that follows people who have been trapped in a small town in Middle America that will literally not let them leave. There are even monsters that come out at night to hunt people for sport, and the human survivors have largely split into two factions: the Township and Colony House. But there's one thing that almost everyone in the town wants, and that's a way to escape once and for all.

From is headlined by Harold Perrineau, an actor who knows a thing or two about playing a single father who is cut off from the rest of the world after his stint on Lost. On this series, Perrineau plays Boyd Stevens, the father of Ellis Stevens (Corteon Moore), and the closest thing that the town has to both a sheriff and a mayor. Boyd also has plenty of inner demons to contend with in addition to the creatures lurking inside and outside of the town.
