There’s a little something for everyone on HBO Max. As Decider’s Brett White reports, there are over 650 feature films available on the service. From the Criterion Collection to the Harry Potter franchise to iconic movies like Citizen Kane, Grosse Pointe Blank, and Casablanca (three equally legendary films), there is no shortage of content on the streamer. Plus, we didn’t even mention the TV shows! We’re talking Friends, Pretty Little Liars, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The O.C., and a little series we like to call every HBO show ever.

If you’re looking to stream HBO Max on Hulu, Decider’s got your back. Here’s everything you need to know.
