WarnerMedia’s dedicated streaming service, HBO Max, is officially set for May 27. While the platform won’t have some of its long-promised content— you’re going to need to wait a little longer for the Friends reunion special for example—there will be a handful of new shows launching alongside classics like The Sopranos, every Miyazaki film, and more. 

Five new series—Love Life, The Not Too Late Show with Elmo, Craftopia, Legendary, Looney Tunes—and one documentary, On the Record, will all debut on HBO Max when the service launches in a little over a month. In order to drum up anticipation, Warner has released trailers for each of the six titles...so now is a good time as any to make some snap judgments!

We’ve gone through and graded each of the titles based on their trailers and the promise each of them shows. Below, you’ll find the trailers and the grades for each. The encouraging thing about HBO Max, even in its new programming, seems to have quite a variety of content which means there’s like something for everyone. But don’t take our word for it—see for yourself.
