The year may be young, but Max isn’t wasting any time in delivering the best programming around. February is stacked full of returning shows and series premieres, in addition to dozens of movies new and old being added to an already impressive lineup.
Max’s February schedule includes the debut of the last season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. How good is the Larry David comedy? We think it’s pretty, pretty, pre-tay good. Another great show returning for a new season is Tokyo Vice, the Michael Mann-produced series starring Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe. Not to be outdone, the movies column will be made even more attractive with the addition of one of 2023’s most-talked-about films, Dicks: The Musical. Yes, that’s a movie that actually exists.

Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
