The comedy selection on HBO Max spans from the predictable rhythm of multi-camera sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory and Friends to the sharper, more uncomfortable edges of Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Comeback. Shows such as The White Lotus and Somebody Somewhere ground their humor in specific locations and personal baggage, while Rick and Morty utilizes animation for a different pace entirely. I Love LA rounds out a catalog that prioritizes distinct authorial voices alongside traditional studio setups.
Scroll through these titles to find the specific kind of humor that fits the current mood. Expect a mix of long-running sitcoms and seasonal character studies that prioritize either loose improvisational energy or tight, scripted arcs.
