  • FlashpointMovie Dr. Fuqoph (@FlashpointMovie) reported

    @theeachillean @hbomax I agree. ANYTHING to get the terrible taste of Jurnee Smollett's Diana Lance out of my mouth. She was one of the worst things about that terrible "Birds of Prey movie."

    @hbomax Melissa McCarthy is hilarious, but good god this movie was awful.

  • SonSon_III SonSon III (@SonSon_III) reported

    @hbomax Can you please update the Xbox app to support 4K? It’s getting ridiculous at this point as there’s plenty of other 4K services available that actually, you know, *work*.

  • sonuverse Sonu Mohkh (@sonuverse) reported

    @Sean_OConnell @hbomax You got a problem with that?

  • rebmy75 Superior Jane (@rebmy75) reported

    @Mellow_Melonn @hbomax I watched it with my daughter and we were greatly disappointed, both by the awful animation and the terrible ending.

  • ghettoheroes ghettoheroes (@ghettoheroes) reported

    @hbomax why is your app CONSTANTLY buffering?!?! It's definitely NOT my internet. I'm getting north of 400mbps. It's the app. Have absolutely no problems with other streaming apps. All my friends have the same problem. CANNOT watch a show or movie without it happening 2-3 times.

  • TheycallmeBRod Crazed Puerto Rican (CPR) (@TheycallmeBRod) reported

    With more deducing, @hbomax... Your app is still broken on my 2 @amazon Firesticks. Specifically, the 4K Firesticks. Your app works fine on a normal Firestick, but is slow, unresponsive and such on the 4K variant; no matter how many times I uninstall & clear cache. #figureditout

  • WadingT Wading for the 25th Amendment (@WadingT) reported

    @girldrawsghosts @NESGenKid @hbomax Same Problem with Cold Case... loved the show but the rights to some of the music clips are lost so I will sadly never be able to own it and it’s not online streaming that I’m aware

  • janowski23 Ronaldo (@janowski23) reported

    @hbomax I love how my fellow Americans especially in this feed act like this is so awful but pornhub isn’t taking in the dough... #Hypocrites

    @tamagotchi @hbomax There’s nothing wrong with the animation, it’s the story that’s the problem

  • theRyanGilmore Ryan Gilmore (@theRyanGilmore) reported

  • victor_hyer victor-hyer (@victor_hyer) reported

    @hbomax This show is terrible. The writing is all over the place. None of the characters are likeable or even interesting. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this one.
