Most popular TV shows on Max this week

Back in the days of cable TV, if you didn't watch your favorite show live or make sure to record it for later, you were out of luck. However, thanks to the rise of streaming services, you can relax knowing that you can watch your favorite TV series whenever you want, wherever you want. That's certainly the case with Max, which combines the prestigious catalog of HBO with offerings from HGTV, CNN, and more. The former is one of the key benefits of Max, with subscribers getting access to popular HBO- and Max-exclusive shows as soon as they air, from the "Game of Thrones" prequel series "House of the Dragon" to the Max original comedy "Hacks."

Conversely, having access to a streamer with a lengthy catalog can help you discover excellent older shows for the first time. Have you ever wanted to know why Mr. Big moves to Paris in "Sex and the City?" Or figure out which friend from "Friends" you are? On Max, you have your chance.

If you're more interested in the series of the moment, you might be curious to see the full list of Max's top 10 most popular shows this week. Keep reading to find out which shows are included and how they rank on the list, as compiled by Stacker using data from Reelgood as of Oct. 22, 2024.
