Wow. A rare HBO bobble on Max.

That’s right. HBO’s Hard Knocks, which chronicles the stories of different NFL teams at certain points of the season appeared to have problems with it’s episode launch on Tuesday night, causing it to trend on X.

This season of Hard Knocks also involves a major media market with the Chicago Bears starring this season, as the career of the highly anticipated #1 overall draft pick, Caleb Williams, begins.

Fans were frustrated to say the least…

How do you seriously mess up the scheduled release of Hard Knocks so hilariously poorly?

HBO should be ashamed of itself. Amateur hour.

Just smashed my TV in front of 20 guests at my son’s bday party because HBO Max doesn’t have Episode 2 of Hard knocks live.

My wife just took our crying kids & said they’re all spending the week at her mom’s house. Thanks @StreamOnMax for ruining my marriage #BearDown😔 pic.twitter.com/Sol4jRqwyO

Streaming launch problems on HBO/Max are rare. We’re talking about the streamer that was able to deliver Game Of Thrones with no hiccups, as well as regular Sunday night launches like House of the Dragon, Succession, and The Last of Us.

A rare anomaly indeed.

What about you? Did you have problems watching Hard Knocks tonight? Let me know in the comments.
