HBO Max continues to roll out shows and movies from its partner networks, including HBO, Discovery, Food Network, and more. New stuff is added all the time, and these are my top choices for this weekend and the week beyond, plus everything new streaming below. When a new month begins, we get a giant pile of movies on the first, so there’s a lot to choose from. Here are the hottest picks.
This Week on HBO Max: PCMag’s Picks
Paddington 2 (Feb. 27)
Paddington 2 just got removed from Netflix last month, so its loss is HBO Max’s gain. This cheeky and charming family film is one of the rare entries that’s enjoyable at any age; little ones love the shenanigans, and there are plenty of winks and nods for older folks. When our lovable bear is framed for a crime, he’s sentenced to 10 years behind bars. Now he and the Brown family need to find the real culprit.
DTF St. Louis (March 1)
It’s a pretty terrible title, but DTF St. Louis looks like the kind of boundary-pushing dark comedy fun we’ve come to expect from HBO Max. Created and directed by Steven Conrad, it stars Jason Bateman as a middle-aged TV weatherman whose wife (the always radiant Linda Cardellini) gets entangled with another man, leading to complications that culminate in one of their deaths. HBO Max is also streaming it in a version with an American Sign Language interpreter on-screen, which they’ve been doing for a few recent shows.
Hunt For The Missing: Chicago (March 5)
The Windy City is well known for crime, being the hotbed of much of the Mafia activity of the last century. New ID series Hunt For The Missing: Chicago opens up cold cases with retired Chicago Detective Pamela Childs, who has gone freelance to try and run down new evidence and bring perpetrators to justice after the system has given up. While it’s not breaking any new ground, the hyper-local focus is cool, and the city has some crazy stories to tell.
Host: Pamela Childs
Genre: Documentary
Rating: TV-MA
