Comedy is the most subjective genre in film. What makes one person laugh barely gets a smile from another. That's exactly why audience scores matter more here than anywhere else — funny is funny, and no amount of film theory changes that.
Max inherited HBO's taste for prestige content, which shows in their comedy lineup. The average quality here tends to be higher than other platforms, but there are still misses to avoid.
From sharp satires to slapstick gold, these are the comedies that actual viewers loved. If it made people laugh, it scores high here.
