Similar to Netflix’s smash hit Wild Wild Country, this miniseries shines a light on the eccentric leaders who cultivated a following and spread their illogical beliefs. Heaven’s Gate consists of historic footage as well as interviews with participants-or those related to them who are able to paint a picture of the cult in its early days, and how things changed as the organization grew bigger. Radhika Menonīased on the formation, recruitment, and ultimate mass suicide of the prominent 1970s cult Heaven’s Gate, the four-part docuseries on HBO Max is a careful, honest, and ultimately heartbreaking depiction of the organization. More importantly, The Sex Lives of College Girls makes the case that college is messy, and that’s precisely why we need to see more of it. The show isn’t exactly breaking new ground in terms of its romantic and identity-based storylines, but it approaches each girl’s predicaments with a tangible amount of love and understanding. Bela (Amrit Kaur) fancies college as a place to finally explore sex after being raised in a conservative household Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet) comes from a small town and lacks street smarts Leighton (Renee Rapp) is a legacy student who seemingly has everything going for her but is hiding a big secret and Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott) is a star soccer player who has to balance the expectations that come with being a senator’s daughter.

The series centers on four girls from extremely different backgrounds who have been grouped together as roommates at the esteemed and picturesque Essex College in the Northeast.
Luckily, The Sex Lives of College Girls dives directly into the deep end of the partying, hook-ups, and self-realization that happens at college. On the flip side, young adult series often skip the intermediary college step and plunge directly into post-grad life, missing the significant amount of growth that occurs while teenagers are away from their parents for the first time. Teen dramas historically contain themselves to high school, and if the characters are allowed to escape that purgatory and graduate, the show often struggles to either let them go or find realistic storylines for them.

It admittedly gets a bit confusing between the two, so below, we’ve ranked the 16 best Max originals that you can watch right now. Now, after a library liquidation that resulted in the loss of many great shows (including the now-Starz original Minx, Raised by Wolves, Genera+ion, and many more) and the addition of “lean back” series like Chopped, and anything featuring Chip and Joanna Gaines, Max is born anew.īut while we mourn the dead, we cannot deny that the platform is still home to a number of great HBO original series and several beloved Max original series.
