This beautifully animated slice of dystopian sci-fi, which follows the remaining crew of a damaged interstellar freighter who are stranded on a strange planet, has wowed the critics. The New Yorker says it is "a triumph of imagination, using animation to bring wondrously unfamiliar flora and fauna to life," and But Why Tho? says "Scavengers Reign is a gorgeous piece of animated fiction that revels in the high stakes and improbable world it’s built for itself". Inverse puts it well: "Scavengers Reign is a wonder. It’s a feat of animation, a feat of sci-fi storytelling, and by far one of the best surprises of the year."

  • Age rating:TV-MA
  • Length:12 episodes (2 seasons)
  • Creators: Michaela Coel

Don't let the Hulu branding in the trailer confuse you: this critically acclaimed British comedy drama is now on Max. It centres on Tracey Gordon (Michaela Coel of I May Destroy You fame), a religious, Beyoncé-obsessed 24-year-old, who discovers that the more she learns about the world, the less she understands. Both seasons have the full 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and high audience ratings too. The New Yorker describes the show as "a one-woman bedroom farce", while The Guardian says that "Michaela Coel's incredible timing, warmth and gift for physical comedy basically make her, in my eyes, the second coming of Lucille Ball".

Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake

Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake | Sneak Peek | Max - YouTubeStudents can get Max for half-price: here are 3 shows with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes to start with (5)

Watch On
  • RT Score:100%
  • Age rating:TV-14
  • Length:10 episodes
  • Creators:Adam Muto, Fred Seibert, Sam Register

Max is basically heaven for Adventure Time fans, with all ten seasons plus the mini-series Distant Lands and this spin-off series available for streaming. This show is slightly more adult than the original but retains its chaotic and irreverent energy. According to Decider, it's "the triumphant return to the world of Adventure Time fans have been waiting for, and it sets the stage for one of the most interesting concepts the show has seen in some time". According to Paste magazine: "At its best, it feels as if it’s making good on the promise of the original series’ theme song: 'The fun will never end'.”
