PARIS:
Finding a TV show to watch has become increasingly complicated with the multitude of content available. HBO Max is hoping to help you solve this relatively new problem.

The platform has launched a new feature called “Shuffle” which allows you to randomly launch an episode of a series via the streaming site.

This new option is already available for 45 series (including “Friends,” “ER,” “Rick & Morty,” “South Park,” “The Big Bang Theory” and “The Office”) on the streaming platform and accessible worldwide, where HBO Max is available.

According to HBO Max, this new feature addresses one of users’ most frequent requests.

Netflix launched its “Play Something” tool some time ago, allowing users to let the platform choose content to watch from the entire catalogue.

Meanwhile Amazon Prime Video also announced the launch of a random mode in the US in 2021.

The option is available for a few series, but has not yet been rolled out globally.
