HBO MaxYou may not have needed another streaming service, but last week, one came along anyway. It's HBO Max, and it's part HBO, part Warner Brothers — and yes, it's where you can now stream all the episodes of Friends.

We run down what's new on HBO Max and what you might find in its deep library.
