November is here, and Max is celebrating with a pretty interesting and diverse lineup of movies, TV shows, and nonfiction programming. But don’t fret, the streamer still has past hits like Our Flag Means Death, The Gilded Age, Doom Patrol, and The Last of Us available to all subscribers.
Max’s November 2023 schedule includes the debut of the new Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory) show Bookie, the season 2 debuts of Rap Sh!t and Julia, and the streaming launches of the documentaries Albert Brooks: Defending My Life and Little Richard: I Am Everything. Max in November is the place for anyone who likes a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

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.
