3 New Shows Prove Apple TV+ is Just Getting Started…

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Home Entertainment, Videos,

If you're anything like me, finishing a show like Severance leaves a void. It’s unsettling, thought-provoking, and so visually distinctive that it’s hard to imagine anything else filling that slot. But what if I told you Apple TV+ quietly launched three series that might not only fill that gap but stretch your viewing appetite in entirely new directions? They’re not front-page banner material (yet), but they’re packed with big names, sharp scripts, and a clear sense of ambition.

Google Gemini TV

Google is upping the ante on smart TVs by giving Google TV a serious glow-up with far-field microphones and Gemini AI integration, announced at CES 2025. Soon, you won’t need to press a button or say “Hey Google”—just ask away. Want to know Disney’s latest movie releases or what beaches to hit in Asia this summer? Your TV’s got you. 

What's new?

  • Far-field mics: Say goodbye to talking into your remote; just speak directly to your TV. 

  • Proximity sensors: Your TV will detect when you're nearby and serve up personalized widgets. 

  • Smart home controls: Check your video doorbell or dim the lights right from your screen. 

Google isn’t alone in the AI-powered entertainment race—LG and Samsung are adding Microsoft’s Copilot to their TVs. It’s official: The TV arms race has shifted from screen resolution to making your TV your new best friend.

HBO Max is Out - Meet Max, Your New Streaming Obsession (Or Not?)

HBO Max rebrands to Max

Just when you thought you had your subscriptions figured out, Warner Bros. Discovery is throwing a curveball by rebranding HBO Max to, simply, "Max." Why the change? Let's dig in and find out what this means for you, the loyal (and potentially confused) subscriber.

The rebranding move is a result of Warner Bros. Discovery blending content from Discovery+ and other new original series into their flagship streaming service. With this merger of media giants comes a fresh identity, distancing itself from the HBO brand that we've come to know and love.

Launching on May 23 in the U.S., Max promises to keep you glued to your screens with a whopping 40+ new titles and TV show seasons every month. Now, that's a lot of content! But is it all sunshine and rainbows for subscribers? Not quite.
