    Help @HBOMaxHelp . Trying to watch episode 7 of “Mare of Easttown”. Screen says “An unknown problem occurred. Please contact your TV provider.”

  • TheGreatGrezzby Mark (@TheGreatGrezzby) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Pretty sad you couldn’t foresee this. Even sadder no one at HBO will legitimately care about it and issue a half *** apology and thank us for our patience (for their incompetence)

  • kathleendailey Kathleen Dailey (@kathleendailey) reported from Malden Centre, Massachusetts

    @hbomax #MareOfEasttown #WTH is going on?! Please fix the app! We are waiting to watch the finale.

  • gregkatsoulis Gregory Katsoulis (@gregkatsoulis) reported

    Having trouble watching #MareOfEasttown? @hbomax has collapsed under the buggy, badly written software they've been pretending isn't an issue for month. Cancel tomorrow like I will — perhaps they'll be encouraged to do better with TV's the most expensive streaming service.

  • jennbrown74 Jenn Brown (@jennbrown74) reported

    @hbomax It would be a great idea to maybe fix your app cause i can’t watch Mare!! 😡😡😡

  • jeffchatterton jeff chatterton (@jeffchatterton) reported

    We JUST got @hbomax to work by using the iPad app and streaming it to the TV!

  • Simon1sa Sam S (@Simon1sa) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Funny that I never have this problem with @Netflix, @Hulu, Disney plus, ape tv, paramount, Amazon prime or sling... yet this is one of the more expensive ones.

  • kalpha7 K Lloyd Parker FOLLOW THE MONEY! (@kalpha7) reported

    @hbomax Scroll to the left menu. Go down to Series Now find what you're looking for. The Problem us there Landing Screen. Just navigate to a different area

  • nevervragain . (@nevervragain) reported

    I GOT IN AND GOT THE ERROR MESSAGE AGAIN THIS ISN’T COOL #HBOMax It’s so risky being on twitter rn yet i have to be because you won’t let me watch #MareOfEasttown @hbomax

  • DavidLBallew David Ballew (@DavidLBallew) reported

    @hbomax has more technical difficulties than all the other streamers out there combined (and can’t figure out how to make Dolby Vision/Atmos work). No wonder its subscriptions pale in comparison to other streamers.

  • challyolly Charles O Steinberg (@challyolly) reported

    @hbomax did your server seriously crash for the series finale of Mare?!?!

  • biggiefresh65 Douglas Navarro (@biggiefresh65) reported
